Boston Dynamics' Atlas learns factory tasks from teleoperation and simulation
Overview
Boston Dynamics' all-electric Atlas humanoid now does autonomous work sorting roof racks on Hyundai's factory floor, according to The Robot Report.
Engineers train Atlas by having a human teleoperator wear a VR headset and guide its movements, and the recorded data trains the AI models. The report says over 4,000 simulated Atlases trained for six hours on slippery floors and stiff joints. The article also says Atlas still cannot perform most daily human tasks, such as getting dressed or pouring coffee.
