The two Atlases are accompanied by a Spot , which is about a quadruped robot , it is similar to a dog, this same one executes some steps of the dance following the rhythm of the music. You already know this last insurance, since it helped to face the pandemic in some countries, it was used to support doctors to monitor patients remotely and help maintain social distancing in public spaces in countries like Singapore.
Far from choreography, the engineering and robotics company aims to show the progress of How Boston Dynamics has achieved the computational processing and hardware management that its robots have when carrying out their movements, which at first glance may seem simple, but which involve the coordination of the jumps, arms and feet.
