Atlas uses real-time computer vision. It is equipped with two vision systems – a laser rangefinder and stereo cameras, both controlled by an off-board computer – and has hands with fine motor skill capabilities.
Atlas’s advanced control system enables highly diverse and agile locomotion, while algorithms reason through complex dynamic interactions involving the whole body and environment to plan movements.
Atlas can navigate rough terrain and climb independently using its arms and legs. It can also perform a handstand, somersaults, and rotations all in fluid succession.
