Video Friday: More Boston Dynamics, Giant Fighting Robots, and ANYmal Quadruped

Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your Automaton bloggers. We'll also be posting a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next two months; here's what we have so far (send us your events!): Let us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today's videos. It's not always clear whether Boston Dynamics' robots are operating autonomously or being controlled by a human, but it's definitely clear in this video of a presentation and demo by Marc Raibert: At the end, the human driving Atlas accidentally walks the robot off the stage. We developed a mobile robot that rolls by active deformation of the soft outer shell.
