12:19:00 +07:00 Boston Dynamics’ Atlas humanoid robot goes electric - These humanoid robots are pretty cool. I also like the new friendlier approach. But to be honest the movements like quick turning around and getting up look so unatural that you would be forgiven for wondering if there isn't secretly a kill everything mode that can be activated. It reminded me of the liquid metal terminator turning around right before it chases after Arni. Cool but probably need to make it more friendlier. Of course I could be wrong, I can see how these movements could indeed be useful. It's not quite the robot mate I've written about recently, then again the word PAL is trending this week, the internet is nothing if it isn't a bizare synchronicity generator. # techcrunch.com
