It can run and jump.

If this new leaked footage is any indication, it seems like the robot creators at Boston Dynamics finally found a way to improve on humanity’s primitive two-legged design: By adding a pair of wheels to their new self-balancing robot, giving the bot some impressive new capabilities.

quote:

Seemingly designed for carrying objects around, Handle’s ability to self-balance by adjusting its weight also helps it handle heavier things in hand without falling over. In comparison, ATLAS’ torso only has a limited amount of flexibility, limiting what that humanoid can lift while still staying on its feet.

Guy warning us about SkyNet. But we won't listen until it is too late.

If I see that thing coming down the street I am shooting it.

Oh, no. Fluid! He is leaking.

Hydraulic? Brake fluid? Lighter fluid?

You don't know your fluids. lt's battery fluid. He's bleeding.

People can barely respect the existence of a park bench or toilet stall without vandalizing it. How long do you think a complex eye attracting robot will last?

They need to go ahead and deliver the Terminators that are up and running. From what I hear, they will be quite effective in dealing with rioters.
