Learning to Run (and Crawl): Inside Boston Dynamics’ Atlas Reinforcement Learning Demo
A personal reflection on how growing up in the 90s with Tamagotchis, robot dogs, Transformers, and a certain lovable robot called Johnny Five shaped my lifelong fascination with AI and robotics.
A pragmatic look at 2026's technology landscape: from agentic AI becoming mainstream to the hardware squeeze affecting gamers and hobbyists, plus what's really happening with robotics and language models.
Why Large Behaviour Models matter: a pragmatic look at what Boston Dynamics and TRI are doing with Atlas, and what it means for industrial automation and domestic robotics.
A deep dive into the latest Boston Dynamics Atlas demo powered by reinforcement learning – covering its RL architecture, physics simulation, zero-shot sim-to-real transfer, human motion retargeting, and the massive scale (150M+ simulations) behind it. Includes parallels to generative AI and leadership takeaways on fostering innovation, simulation investment, AI-based control, and the future of work with robotics.
