This announcement not only showcases Atlas in a work setting but also highlights significant advancements in its design. Previously, Boston Dynamics had indicated that it was working on new gripper designs to improve the robot's functional capabilities. The videos reveal Atlas using new finger-like appendages, demonstrating a design that incorporates hypermobility principles similar to its overall construction. This innovative development allows the grippers to initiate movement from the base, lifting heavy items and subsequently pinching them to carry them efficiently.
