I still think Boston Dynamics would do better if it sold the robots used in its YouTube videos

If robots can fill our labor shortage, we really have no need for 99% of all immigration. We can suspend almost all of it.

Boston Dynamics, a pioneering robotics company, is back with the amazing Atlas humanoid robot! In my opinion, it has the most practical “anatomical” structure & movement capability, especially in the torso. This robot will sell a lot for all kinds of work if competitively priced!
