It's out with the old hydraulic Atlas and in with the new electric Atlas humanoid robot! tinyurl.com/3bwwsyfs
Quick Glance: Boston Dynamics' New Fully Electric Atlas Robot
  • Boston Dynamics has retired its hydraulic Atlas robots after 11 years and introduced a new fully electric version, marking a significant evolution in the company's product lineup.

  • The electric Atlas offers enhanced strength, range of motion, and versatile applications across various industries, starting with automotive manufacturing for parent company Hyundai.

  • Boston Dynamics has had a tumultuous history, from its founding as a promising research-focused startup to multiple acquisitions, but now seems to be focusing more on commercial applications.

  • The launch of the electric Atlas not only signifies a milestone in robotics but also provides a glimpse into the future where humanoid robots are poised to play an increasingly integral role in the industry.

Quick Glance: Physicist Peter Higgs Passes Away at 94
  • Physicist Peter Higgs, whose theory of an undetected particle in the universe changed science, has died at 94, according to the University of Edinburgh.

  • The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 at the CERN research center was a significant advancement in understanding the cosmos, steering physics towards once-fantastical ideas.

  • Higgs, initially 'incompetent' in the physics lab, later specialized in theoretical physics, inspired by quantum physicist Paul Dirac from his school.

  • The Higgs boson's completion of the Standard Model opened doors to explore unexplained aspects of the universe and abstract concepts like parallel universes, despite Higgs disliking the 'God particle' nickname.
