Boston Dynamics, certainly the most sinister robot-maker Google owns, has released a horrifying new video of their robot, Atlas — presumably named for the Titan god responsible for holding the world on his shoulders and also the namesake of the best movie trilogy of all time — going outside, running over rough terrain, and getting beaten the hell up by Boston Dynamics geeks with hockey sticks. Yes, some punks are messing around and trying to start the robot revolution with this, a DARPA-funded battle robot now being developed under the benevolent eye of Google X. The robots haven’t begun fighting back — yet. Enjoy your day.
