With a title like "What's new, Atlas?" for a video like this, you know that Boston Dynamics is just messing with us now: The game played out on a real set wherein Cozmo would roll through a series of trials, exploring rooms and solving puzzles which tested his ability to move, to place, stack, and turn blocks, and recognize faces and pets, testing Reddit's collective will to help him.
