]]> When I see these videos, usually from Boston Dynamics (like this one), I’m amazed at how quickly the technology seems to be progressing.

I assume the biggest driver of this type of progression is the software, but is it? It was not that long ago that the Atlas robot (or its predecessor) was tethered to a power source. Then they had the little weedeater-engine powered beast.

But now, the battery technology has improved to the point that we can watch this type of performance. Since we should expect battery life is only going to get better, when will we see humanoid robots like this as human helpers or even replacements?

Amazing stuff. Read about it over here.
