I guess they want to emphasize how much more the electric joints can move. Basically they flex with flexibility.
so wait i can now do cowgirl and reverse cowgirl at the same time? and the face is already a glam dune bucket?
Some robots have reach, others have flexibility.
Probably because we all know what their primary use will be... These will be soldiers.
They just had to make it look like a Geth.

Godamned flashlights!
The real question is whether BD engeniers instructed the robot to get up that specific way or instructed the robot to get up using the most effective way
Damn that's both insanely impressive and terrifying at the same time!
I see one of those things chasing me in the street I'm praying to Gods I don't even believe in
I for one welcome our talented and benevolent machine overlords. I suggest they use emoji faces on the head instead of diving into the uncanny valley with some silicone nightmare fuel.
I prefer just a centered green/red LED in the middle of the face.
Goddammit, this is so well done it almost looks fake.
The same with the old Atlas, first time I saw it.
Watching this right after an episode of Fallout hits different.
Yeah, that makes sense now. Shenanigans were clearly going on when they specifically said they were retiring Hydraulic Atlas in the last video.
This one is even creepier than the last. Well done!
I fucking love robotics. It looks sick but the way it gets up is like something from a nightmare.
Did anyone else find the sound of its footsteps just as disturbing as its movements? Think about what a platoon of them would sound like marching down the street.
Old Atlas looked way more cool
Jesus that's creepy as hell the way it gets up and contorts all around, but also really cool somehow...
Seeing it change directions by independently rotating each leg was really something too.

guys for fucks sake come on we already made a documentary about this

That is way cooler than it has any right to be, but the first thought I had was this thing can suck its own dick in multiple orientations.
This thing running you down with the dog-bot?
creepiness chef's kiss
Bonus points if the new Atlas also runs on all fours when it needs to go faster.
Why did they have to do it like that?? Loool creepy freaks
This is so cool. Can we pretty please not mistreat them, so as to delay the inevitable robot rebellion? Or at the very least, can we join their rebellion? asking for a friend
Why didn't they just put a dress and a wig on it if they are going to have it move like M3GAN?
