Humanoid robots are stepping onto film sets, and Atlas is leading the way
In a collaboration with WPP, Canon, and NVIDIA, Boston Dynamics' Atlas has been tested as a robotic camera operator, demonstrating how humanoid robots could assist in filmmaking.
Boston Dynamics first revealed Atlas in 2013 and has since been sharing updates on the robot’s evolving abilities. We’ve seen Atlas hop, run, and even flip across our screens. Now, the humanoid is not only stepping behind the camera—quite literally—to explore how robotics can assist on film sets but is also being put to the test in car manufacturing.
