Aaron Levie, CEO of the enterprise cloudcompany Box, posted the video that was originally shared by Boston Dynamics, the creator of the robot called Atlas. “It’s time for Atlas to pick up a new set of skills and get hands on. In this video, the humanoid robot manipulates the world around it: Atlas interacts with objects and modifies the course to reach its goal—pushing the limits of locomotion, sensing, and athleticism,” they wrote. While re-tweeting the video, Levie wrote, “Totally normal and friendly robot, can’t imagine anything going wrong.”
