Boston Dynamics just showed off the latest iteration of its Atlas robot at CES, and interestingly, the older generation actually stole the spotlight despite being less mobile. Here's the kicker though—both versions are now getting powered by Google DeepMind's AI tech. The combination marks a significant shift in how humanoid robots could operate and adapt in real-world scenarios. With DeepMind's cutting-edge algorithms handling the intelligence layer, these machines are moving closer to autonomous, adaptive behavior that goes way beyond pre-programmed movements.

Old antiques are actually more eye-catching? That logic is pretty interesting, maybe it's because they don't look so outrageous haha With DeepMind's support, this time it's really starting to become adaptive, saying goodbye to the hardcode era Boston Dynamics is stirring up old news again, but this time it's definitely different... let's wait and see some big companies copy it Atlas is a bit like those products that get better with age, the new version actually seems a bit... you know Adaptive behavior is coming, I just want to know when it will really start working and replace us

Is the older version more eye-catching? This plot is quite interesting. Could it be that the new model flopped?

DeepMind's support for Atlas is indeed interesting, but I feel like it's more of a marketing gimmick... Whether it can really deliver is another matter.

Haha, the older version is actually more eye-catching. What does that say? Technical specs don't equal real-world value. Having DeepMind support is indeed top-notch, but it's still far from true adaptability. Boston Dynamics' move is quite interesting; the old generation fighting back against the new version, haha. Honestly, adding DeepMind's algorithm and expecting it to adapt autonomously? Let's see the actual performance first before bragging. This is the right way to open up; AI brains meeting robotic arms—just thinking about it is exciting.

NGL, having DeepMind's support is a bit of a game-changer, but what I really want to see is whether the costs can be reduced...

Older versions are actually more eye-catching? I'm baffled by this logic, but adding DeepMind's AI does have some substance. I always feel like they're setting traps for us to fall into.
