Tesla’s Optimus has a long way to go to match Boston Dynamics’ Atlas humanoid robot, or at least in dancing. The company just released a video of Atlas performing the Zoidberg scuttle dance from Fortnite. In the game, this is a traversal dance, which means players can move and walk while using the emote.
Unlike all of the other humanoid robots currently in development, Atlas can use both hands and their full range of motion, enabling it to interact with the world in meaningful ways. The robot can also see its surrounding with depth sensors to generate point clouds of the environment in real-time. It uses models of the robot’s dynamics to predict how its motion will evolve over time and then make adjustments automatically.

We use Atlas to explore the potential of the humanoid form factor, leveraging the robot’s whole body to move with grace, speed, and dexterity. Atlas demonstrates our efforts to develop the next generation of robots with the mobility, perception, and intelligence needed to be commonplace in our lives,” said the company.
