JAKARTA - Boston Dynamics has recently shocked the robotics world by launching the latest version of their human robot, Atlas. The video, which was released, shows an astonishing movement from this humanoid robot, resembles a scene from a science fiction horror film.

This new robot features extraordinary ability with joints that can moisturize and move in ways that the human body can't imagine. The big change from the previous design, which was stiff and famous for dance and parkour, made this latest version of Atlas the center of attention.

The most striking feature is the use of electrical joints that replaced previous hydraulic systems. Boston Dynamics claims that these changes provide significant advantages, including greater strength and wider range of motion.

Atlas is a new version capable of rotating 360 degrees across all joints, allowing it to move with flexibility that far exceeds the ability of the human body.

In the announcement video, Atlas can be seen rising from the floor with a fine and impressive precision movement, changing his body position perfectly. In fact, this robot movement is considered similar to the iconic scene of the film The Exorcist.

Boston Dynamics plans to sell these humanoid robots to the market, with the first plan of integrating them into Hyundai factories next year. However, the official price for this latest version of Atlas is still kept secret.

This change gives hope that these kinds of robots will become an integral part of the manufacturing industry in the future, helping in various tasks that require extraordinary flexibility and strength.

The presence of this latest version of the Atlas robot also shows a new direction in the development of humanoid technology, where design and capabilities are getting closer or even beyond the limits of the human body.

With this significant change, Boston Dynamics reiterated its position as a leader in the development of advanced robotics that changes the paradigm in the industrial world.
