Hasta La Gadget!

Boston Dynamics has made a name for themselves over the years through its robots like Spot. The company has indeed come a long way since then, developing new robots with new skills and abilities, and in a recent video they put out, it shows the humanoid Atlas robot performing a series of parkour movements.

We have to say that this is probably one of the coolest things we’ve ever seen. This is because the way the robots pull off the moves looks almost perfect and human-like. Sure, they aren’t quite as graceful compared to humans who do the same thing, but for a robot that has to mimic and learn what a human does, it is downright fascinating.

According to Boston Dynamics, “Parkour is the perfect sandbox for the Atlas team at Boston Dynamics to experiment with new behaviors. In this video our humanoid robots demonstrate their whole-body athletics, maintaining its balance through a variety of rapidly changing, high-energy activities. Through jumps, balance beams, and vaults, we demonstrate how we push Atlas to its limits to discover the next generation of mobility, perception, and athletic intelligence.”

If you have a few minutes to spare, you can check out the videos above that show the robot in action, as well as a behind-the-scenes to understand how Boston Dynamics went about developing them.

Originally designed to help people keep track of keys and bags, it seems that Apple’s AirTag is now becoming a popular choice amongst bike owners to help prevent their bikes from being stolen, or if in the event that it is stolen, will make it easier for them to locate.

This is the case with Brandon, a Renton, Washington resident who claimed that his bike had been stolen earlier Tuesday morning. This isn’t the first time that Brandon has experienced motorcycle theft, so when the AirTag was launched, he bought one and hid it inside his motorcycle as a precaution.

It turns out that his decision paid off because when he realized his bike was missing, he quickly tracked it down using the Find My app. He eventually located the bike where for some reason, the thieves had abandoned it. He called the police, filed a report, and recovered his bike without any incident.

It is unclear why the thieves might have abandoned the bike, but Brandon speculates that perhaps the AirTag had notified the thieves to its presence, and it might have spooked them which is why they abandoned it. For those unfamiliar, to prevent stalking, Apple built in some safety features into the AirTag where it will notify users if an unknown AirTag is traveling with them.

It was a rather controversial move for both users and some government regulators, but the trend of removing the charging brick from smartphone boxes might become standard soon. Apple started it, and Samsung followed suit after mocking it. Google will soon be next, apparently, as the company made it publicly known that the Pixel 6 won’t ship with a charger … Continue reading
