I guess we did a little bit of a, we did a little skit around Christmas where we had two spots holding up another spot that was trying to put, you know, a bow on a tree.
So I guess we're doing that in a small way.
It probably can't curl as much as we can yet.
But a metric that I think is interesting is,
is another way of looking at that strength is the box jump.
So how high of a box can you jump onto?
And Atlas, I don't know the exact height.
It was probably a meter high or something like that.
It was a pretty tall jump that Atlas was able to manage when we last tried to do this.
And I have video of my chief technical officer
doing the same jump.
And he really struggled.
Oh, the human.
The human, getting all the way on top of this box.
But then Atlas was able to do it.
We're now thinking about the next generation of Atlas.
And we're probably going to be in the realm of a person can't do it with the next generation.
The robots, the actuators are going to get stronger, where it really is the case that at least some of these joints, some of these motions will be stronger.
Oh yeah, and there's lots of videos of it trying and failing.
We don't always release those videos, but they're a lot of fun to look at.
