Now things have been taken to the next level in Boston Dynamics, however. Now we have a robot striking the ‘Karate Kid’ pose. The usefulness of this endeavor? Unclear. The entertainment value, however, is off the charts.

There is a certain measure of intimidation in seeing the robot strike the pose, but the real strength is in the description of the robot. From Daily Mail Online:

In extremely challenging terrain, Atlas is strong and coordinated enough to climb using hands and feet, to pick its way through congested spaces."

That is no joke.
