I think I either need to clean my window or set up an eye appointment (probably both to be honest). I just spent 5 minutes trying to figure out what the large pink thing in bushes behind my house was before I realized that it wasn't a large pink object behind the bushes but blooms on our lilac bush.

While turkeys can see more colors than us and even see in a 360 degree field around themselves, they have very poor depth perception!

The bars of a gate frame the view, leading to another identical gate, creating a corridor of repeated patterns. Beyond, the glass of a front door reveals the inverted world of chain link fences and trees, a silent echo of the space beyond. 🚪🔗🌳

門の格子が視界を囲み、もう一つの同一の門へと続き、繰り返されるパターンの回廊を作り出します。その先には、家の玄関のガラスが逆さまの世界、つまり鎖状のフェンスと木々の静かな反響を映し出しています。🚪🔗🌳

I don't know that this little fella has a name yet. I made it a while ago and it's been lurking in my folders. What would you name this? Comment below:

Rather extreme 'depth perception' issues.

Boston Dynamics Atlas Dynamic Duo Tackles Obstacle Course

Historically, the capabilities of real world humanoid robots have trailed far behind their TV and movie counterparts. But roboticists kept pushing state of the art forward, and Boston Dynamics just shared a progress report: their research platform Atlas can now complete a two-robot parkour routine.

Watching the minute-long routine on YouTube (embedded after the break) shows movements more demanding than their dance to the song " Do You Love Me? " And according to Boston Dynamics, this new capability is actually even more impressive than it looks. Unlike earlier demonstrations, this routine used fewer preprogrammed motions that made up earlier dance performances. Atlas now makes more use of its onboard sensors to perceive its environment, and more of its onboard computing power to decide how to best move through the world on a case-by-case basis. It also needed to string individual actions together in a continuous sequence, something it had trouble doing earlier.

Such advances are hard to tell from a robot demonstration video, which are frequently edited and curated to show highlighted success and skip all the (many, many) fails along the way. Certainly Boston Dynamics did so themselves before, but this time it is accompanied by almost six minutes worth of behind-the-scenes footage. (Also after the break.) We see the robot stumbling as it learned, and the humans working to put them back on their feet.

Humanoid robot evolution has not always gone smoothly (sometimes entertainingly so) but Atlas is leaps and bounds over its predecessors like Honda Asimo. Such research finds its way to less humanoid looking robots like the Stretch. And who knows, maybe one day real robots will be like their TV and movie counterparts that have, for so long, been played by humans inside costumes.
