🤖 Engineers at Boston Dynamics Inc. and Toyota Research Institute (TRI) have achieved a breakthrough in artificial intelligence and robotics research. Using an Atlas humanoid robot, they successfully demonstrated a large behavior model (LBM). The machines performed a long, continuous sequence of complex tasks that require combining object manipulation with locomotion. The humanoid used whole-body movements, such as walking, crouching and lifting, to accomplish a series of packing, sorting and organizing tasks. Throughout the sequences, the engineers interjected unexpected physical challenges mid-task, such as closing the lid of a box and sliding it across the floor, requiring Atlas to self-adjust in response.
