alt Hacker NewsIt looks like the difference between the Boston Dynamics robots 2016 vs 2021
The Spot dog (which inspired the Black Mirror "Metalhead" episode) in 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf7IEVTDjng
Atlas doing backflips in 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FByY3tSx2Ak
So 5 years of progress within a year.
spot dog is hydraulically powered junk, unitree is motor driven from day one. Boston Dynamics was forced to switch to a motor driven architecture after it is proven by unitree.
Boston Dynamics is the follower here.
