Except Atlas’s eyes are cameras and lasers, and its energy comes from a far-off electrical supply. The humanoid robot is one of Google-owned robotics company Boston Dynamics’ creations, and while it can’t do everything a human can do yet, it’s getting close.

Atlas took a giant step for robot-kind recently by going on a walk in the woods – a task only the company’s four-legged robots have been seen doing in the past. It may sound like a relatively simple activity, but autonomous walking is not so easy when you don’t have a human sense of balance.
