Atlas the robot goes for a jog

The engineering and robotics firm Boston Dynamics released clips of its humanoid robot jogging through a field. Three years ago former Google robotics outfit Boston Dynamics demonstrated its Terminator-like humanoid Atlas robot jogging through a forest tethered to a machine. That same robot can now run across and navigate uneven terrain unaided, bounding over the trickiest of obstacles. In the video, Atlas is seen jogging up a slope, through a field and over a log.
