Boston Dynamics humanoid robot shows push-ups, 8 in one go! The results were exposed for the first time after the transformation

Do 8 push-ups in a row, and the Boston Dynamics Atlas is alive again!
Not only does it look easy, but the movement is pretty standard (elbows and ankles are always at 90°, and the whole body is in a line).
The process of standing up is also very stable, getting up and squatting with a sense of rigidity, and I feel that there will be a salute in the next second. [doge]
What's more special is coming, have you noticed it? Robot Atlas has no hands!! (It's equivalent to doing boxing push-ups, and it's another day of being killed by robots...... ）
The above is a scene captured by Reddit netizens from RSS 2024 (Robot Top Meeting). This PPT demonstrates how a robot can make surprisingly good decisions when dealing with a non-convex problem (meaning that the objective function or constraints are not convex) using a nonlinear MPC method for direct optimization.
After watching Atlas show off its muscles, some netizens excitedly said:
It's really good to put "power" on Boston Dynamics
Some people "sympathize" with Atlas while confidently asserting:
The poor guy doesn't have hands, but can definitely beat figure02.
In April of this year, Boston Dynamics humanoid robots officially announced the switch from hydraulic to all-electric drive.
Previously, the Boston Atlas was known for its complex and precise movements, thanks to a hydraulic drive solution that is different from the electric drive solution most commonly used in humanoid robots on the market today.
At the time, it was widely speculated that "commercialization" was the main reason for Boston's switch to electric drives.
After all, the hydraulic drive scheme is really too expensive -
According to industry estimates, the manufacturing cost of a single hydraulic version of the Atlas is as high as 2 million US dollars (about 14.47 million yuan).
Under the high cost, Musk's Optimus Prime, Figure, which was bet on by OpenAI, as well as the domestic Xiaomi humanoid robot, Zhihuijun's expeditionary A1, etc., industry players generally chose the electric drive solution.
Now, when everyone has chosen electric drive, a new point of competition has arrived.
No, a pair of flexible manipulators has become the focus of discussion:
At a glance, the Boston Atlas's "hand" stands out, only it has no fingers.

This also caused netizens to complain:
It's all 2024, and Boston Dynamics still has no hands!
However, some netizens replied at the bottom:
Obviously, the dexterous robot hand is the most difficult to develop compared to the rest of the robot.
It has been further speculated that not only technical reasons:
The current need for 5 fingers is not practical, which is why they have not yet fulfilled it.
Well, everyone can fight with one hand~
Recently, netizens who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement are still ???? The "Strongest Humanoid Robot Today" poll was launched:
As a result, Tesla Optimus Prime 2nd generation released 9 months ago is "far ahead".
Just 3 days ago, Figure 02, known as the "strongest on the surface", was released.
The company behind it is the Figure robot hand-picked by OpenAI, jointly invested by Nvidia, Microsoft and Bezos.
This time, Figure 02 went directly to the BMW factory to work, whether it was to take steel or assemble equipment~
This reminds everyone of Optimus, which also entered Tesla's factory before, and netizens who watched the excitement even directly made a comparison on the same screen.
