There's a video of Atlas climbing three big steps, and it's very dynamic, and it's really exciting, a real accomplishment. It took 109 tries, and we have video of every one of them. We shoot everything. Again, we, this is at Boston Dynamics. So it took 109 tries. But once it did it, it had a high percentage of success.

So it's not like we're cheating by just showing the best one, but we do show the evolved performance, not everything along the way. But everything along the way is informative, and it shows sort of there's stupid things that go wrong, like the robot just when you say go and it collapses right there on the start. That doesn't have to do with the steps.

Or the perception didn't work right, so you miss the target when you jump, or something breaks and there's oil flying everywhere. Yeah. But that's fun. Yeah.

Lots of control of evolution during that time. I think it took six weeks to get those 109 trials. Because there was programming going on. It was actually robot learning, but there were humans in the loop helping with the learning. So all data-driven.

It's remarkable. One of the accomplishments of Atlas is that the engineers have made a machine that's robust enough that it can take that kind of testing where it's falling and stuff, and it doesn't break every time. It still breaks. Part of the paradigm is to have people to repair stuff. You got to figure that in if you're going to do this kind of work.

I sometimes criticize the people who have their gold-plated thing and they keep it on the shelf and they're afraid to use it. I don't think you can make progress if you're working that way. You need to be ready to have it break and go in there and fix it. It's part of the thing. Plan your budget so you have spare parts and a crew and all that stuff.

I think it applies to everything anybody tries to do that's worth doing.
