Google has a new robot and it's tough.
In a demonstration, researchers put the Atlas robot through some normal drills - walking (through snow), opening doors, lifting packages, etc. - and then showed that it is certainly not a softy. Poked and prodded and pushed to the ground with a hockey stick, the robot shrugged off the abuse and kept operating as if unfazed, springing up from the floor like a heavyweight boxer finding renewed vigor.
Score one for artificial intelligence.
