In a sign of the times the popular robot named Atlas, developed by Boston Dynamics, has now begun to demonstrate its ability to interact with objects and not just the environment itself, as seen in other previous demonstrations where Atlas performed parkour exercises with relative ease.
Yesterday the firm released two new videos that demonstrate Atlas’ ability to detect and interact with objects.
The team set up a mock-up environment of a typical construction area with a worker at the top of several layers of scaffolding. Atlas was able to pick up wooden planks that allowed itself climb up the scaffolding at a decent pace whilst delivering a bag of work tools to the worker at the top, and then flipping off of the scaffolding with ease.
The lead developers explained how these processes work and the different issues they encountered in trying to get Atlas to process and carry out these tasks.
Well the dream of humanoids is that they should be able to do all the things that we do, right?
A humanoid robot will be well-suited for applications like manufacturing, factory work construction; where a humanoid form factor actually fits very well with its bimanual nature, it’s ability to stand upright, move heavy things around, and work in spaces that were traditional designed for humans to do work in.
Scott Kuindersma, Team Lead for Atlas
I think what we’re focusing [on] right now is real world applications for this kind of robot.
Things like moving objects that are pretty heavy, especially in environments where it’s either too dangerous for humans, or where it’s just generally something that people don’t want to be doing.
Robin Deits, a software engineer for Boston Dynamics, said
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Whelp, there goes your construction and manual labor jobs…
Granted this is still probably a few years off yet, especially on a wide production scale, but it is clear that given some more time many of these robot predecessors will be mass-produced, to fill-in for all the void jobs because no one hardly wants to work anymore or a lift a finger.
This is of course a central tenet to the autonomous smart city life these elitists want.
The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
Proverbs 21:25
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I am making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $16,000 a month by working on a laptop, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply.
Everybody must try this job now by just using this website… YT7.Cm
If will surely soon be programmed to find the unvaxxed ones for extermination.
