Boston Dynamics unveiled Wednesday a new version of its humanoid robot, “Atlas,” that the company says is “designed for real-world applications.” Like many of its previous announcements, the company released a video of its robot in action. The company is moving full steam ahead with its new fully electric iteration of Atlas, and retiring its previously hydraulic-powered model.

Some users on X likened the launch of Atlas to something out of James Cameron's iconic post-apocalyptic 'Terminator' franchise. 'It’s giving 'call an ambulance ... but not for me,'' joked tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee. The original Atlas robot can be seen on Boston Dynamic's website performing a range of tasks, including lifting objects and even busting out dance moves. The company said that its new electric model breaks new ground.
