[Ipg-smz] This robot is freaking amazing.

[Sally Wiener Grotta]

It's body/space perception and coordination is remarkable. Just
yesterday, I was having lunch with three well established science
fiction writers who were claiming that it would be a long time before
robots would be able to take specific products off shelves in
warehouses. I told them the technology already exists. The Parkour Atlas
has elements that would be useful for those kind of tasks.
