The humanoid robot was born in 2013 and since its creation it has stood out for having movements and abilities similar to those of a person.
-
Boston Dynamics’ goal is to have within reach a robot that can do whatever function is asked of it.

Robonaut 2 is an android created by NASA and General Motors engineers to serve on the International Space Station.
Boston Dynamics presented the advances of his robot that has now surprised by having the ability to grab, pick up and throw certain objects, this model could represent a competition for the Robonaut of the POT which in the same way is characterized by having a humanoid appearance. Boston Dynamics is a company based in the United States, specializing mainly in engineering and robotics for the construction of robots. In 2020, a video of this company went viral as its robot showed its ability to dance and do parkour.

For some time now, this company has dedicated itself to developing its robots in the most surprising way, since it was previously shown that its prototype had the ability to do Parkourit is evident that more and more robots will resemble humans and with these new introductions, surely the robotics industry will have a significant increase.
Robotic technology has really come into its own, as recently, with a new technological development of the University of Tel Aviv, Israel, a robot model was presented that already has the ability to smell, this was achieved with the use of a sensor biological since this is responsible for sending electrical signals in response to the presence of a nearby smell that the robot can detect and even interpret.
The main objective is that they have enough capacity to collaborate in some way with humans, by carrying out certain activities that could be of great help, since the advantage of these is that they are practically perfect beings since they are incapable of getting tired or sick.
Boston Dynamics unveiled a robot that will compete with NASA’s Robonaut
Boston Dynamics shared some of the progress of Atlas, his robot that received an update in its development and has the ability to perform certain humanoid movements, including running, dancing, jumping and turning, in addition to being able to identify certain objects and thereby hold it with its hands hands and throw them, this simple fact could be something insignificant since anyone could be capable of performing that action; however, this really represents a breakthrough for robots to be able to take over more elaborate activities that even include the use of force.
In a video from the channel Boston Dynamics, his robot Atlas can be seen, solving a problem because, the researchers created a fictional scenario that simulates a construction site, in which a human is at the top of a structure and needs a suitcase with a tool kit, in In the area there are scaffolding and planks, so you can see said robot accommodate a plank, pick up a suitcase and climb it up the scaffolding, for this it needs to maintain its balance, finally it jumps and a somersault that demonstrates its abilities. This video was recently uploaded and already has 2 million views, as the interest in robotic technology seems to be great.
Atlas could now be a strong opponent for him Robonaut 2 which is an android created by the engineers of the Pot and General Motors to serve on the International Space Station (ISS). This robot is nicknamed R2 after the famous character from ‘Star Wars’, and is the first of its kind capable of complex tasks and, in the future, spacewalks.
