Boston Dynamics' Atlas humanoid learns tasks from human teleoperation and AI training

Boston Dynamics' Atlas humanoid, now all-electric and running on NVIDIA chips, is doing autonomous work sorting roof racks on Hyundai's factory floor.

Engineers train Atlas by having a human teleoperator wear a VR headset and guide its movements, and the resulting data trains the AI models, while over 4,000 simulated Atlases trained for six hours on slippery floors and stiff joints.

The article says Atlas still cannot perform most daily human tasks such as getting dressed or pouring coffee.
