This is a Pentagon-funded Atlas robot. Boston Dynamics, a U.S robotics company, tested this robot and said that it refuses to be knocked over by a blow to the side. The robot can also walk on rough terrain. Pretty cool huh?

Back when we had free labor (a.k.a in salving black people) this economy was booming, imagine what we can produce with free labor from robots.

I dont think robots will be availiable for commercial buyers for quite some time, the technology isnt advanced enough.

This is really cool. I think robots would be a great help in the future.
