Boston Dynamics and the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) are teaming up to create robots that can learn practical tasks, like peeling potatoes. This collaboration combines Boston Dynamics’ impressive Atlas robot, known for its agility and strength, with TRI’s advanced behaviour models. The goal is to develop intelligent machines that can take on everyday tasks, making them more useful in our homes and workplaces. While some may find the idea of robots learning to do chores unsettling, this partnership aims to showcase how technology can enhance our daily lives without crossing into the realm of science fiction.
