Personally, I have watched I Robot one too many times to be 100 percent comfortable with this idea but it is true. American based robotics company Boston Dynamics has created a robot that they call ATLAS. While impressive in what it takes to build and program such a gentle giant there are still questions that many people have as to its uses.

ATLAS stands at 6 feet weighing in at 180 lbs this machine is being programmed to navigate rough terrains while maintaining its balance and completing its mission.

Let's take a closer look at this robot and see what it can do and watch a short video of it in action.
