Farewell to HD Atlas

now I want a series of videos periodically of atlas doing retirement/vacation activities, sitting on a couch, fishing etc

0:24 BRO HE HELD HIS NUTS LIKE IT HURT

This isn't a tear in my eye, it's hydraulic fluid. Here's to you, Atlas.

The humanity of that robot tripping around and falling might actually be the most impressive thing this company has achieved

Being not afraid to show your failures as well as your successes is the sign of a healthy company

I love how he curls up into a ball and stops moving whenever something goes wrong - it's very relatable.

I might be 58 years old on the outside, but there's this little girl inside me who's always SO HAPPY when you guys come up with a new video. You create joy, and wonder, and laughter everytime. Thank you for all your hard work, your dedication, your honesty, your daring. Thank you for making that little girl smile. 🥰🥰🥰

Atlas' videos are the only ones that make me realize the future is here. Thank you.

My son is disabled and he’s always loved Atlas videos. He laughs and laughs when Atlas jumps, falls, and picks things up. When Atlas is being fixed he says “It’s okay robot!” And cheers “He’s all better!” when repairs are done. Atlas has helped my little guy see that you can fall, and it might hurt, but friends are there to help, and you can try again, and jump again, and dance. Thank you “Mr. Falling Robot”. You did a lot for a little boy who thought he was too broken to be fixed, but now knows that he can do anything.

it's unbelievable how we can feel pain looking to a robot injury while it doesn't feel pain.

Atlas will forever be the true OG of Boston Dynamics along with Spot.

It's a testament that watching a humanoid robot fall and explode it's knee made me grimace in sympathetic pain. Atlas is an exceptional development and his legacy is justifibly penned to the history books forever.

The comedic timing at 1:44 is perfect. When the first one falls, I'm thinking, "Poor guy, he's lying there in pain and his buddy is just stunting on him--" and then right on cue the second one slips like he just stepped on a banana peel.

1:19 I think this is THE most realistinc trip-and-fall that I've ever seen a robot produce, it's just so majestic in action

My brain still cannot accept that video of a robot doing a twisty backflip off a raised platform is real. I would need to stand there in the room and watch it. I would then have to make sure it isn't just some talented dude in a robot suit doing the move.

Idk if its the music or not but from 3:07 to the end, its like saying goodbye to a best friend that you've never had. 😢 Heartwarming and emotional. Great job Boston Dynamics!!!!

Why am I sentimental for a robot that's built 15,000 kilometers away?

TIL Atlas' weak point is literally its Achilles' heel. Literally explodes every time it twisted its ankle...

Farewell you legend! Thank you for carrying the torch so far.

Thank you Boston Dynamics, Thank you atlas.I'm 63 now and I dreamed of you since I was 10. You made my dream come true.
