Part 2/8:
Ranking third among the showcased robots is the latest iteration of Atlas from Boston Dynamics. This humanoid robot has received significant enhancements thanks to Nvidia's Jetson AGX Thor, a powerful AI computing platform that enhances its capabilities in embodied intelligence.
The new hardware integration allows Atlas to perform a wide variety of tasks, including:
Real-time object recognition
Autonomous navigation through dynamic environments
Advanced manipulation of previously unseen tools and objects
Boston Dynamics is collaborating closely with Nvidia's Isaac Lab to refine Atlas's dexterity and locomotion, positioning it to tackle complex tasks such as assembling components or navigating through unknown spaces with precision.
