Overview: Boston Dynamics released a video showing its Atlas humanoid moving on wheels attached to its legs, using classical model-based control combined with whole-body reinforcement learning. Engineer Andy Wu said the retrofit mounts an off-the-shelf scooter rim onto Atlas' ankle actuator through a custom adapter.
