"We're not just thinking about how to make the robot move dynamically through its environment like we did in Parkour and Dance. Now, we're starting to put Atlas to work and think about how the robot should be able to perceive and manipulate objects in its environment," Boston Dynamics' team lead on Atlas, Scott Kuindersma told The Verge.
