DARPA Robotics Challenge

In 2013, Atlas participated in the DARPA Robotics Challenge, a competition designed to test the capabilities of humanoid robots in search and rescue scenarios. The robot successfully navigated a complex course through a simulated disaster scenario, demonstrating its ability to work in challenging environments.

Limitations

While Atlas is an incredibly advanced robot, it is not without its limitations. The robot is still relatively heavy and cumbersome, and its propulsion system can be limited by the weight-bearing capacity of its legs. Additionally, the robot's manipulation capabilities are still relatively limited, and it may struggle with complex tasks that require high levels of dexterity.
