FUNCTIONALITY
The Atlas Robot has a bright future ahead of itself..The previous robot projects were only available for company and military usage.
REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS
Natural Disaster Relief Efforts
Hospital Usage
National Security rescue effort.
Infrastructure Disaster Relief.
Experimental Usage
“The ultimate goal is to create roots that can
respond to dangerous emergencies.”
If a robot could drive a vehicle, open doors, and
explore where humans could not, and turn valves,
the damage would have been much more
controlled.
The future of this robot is for it to do anything
that a human can’t to keep humans safe.
FUTURE OF ATLAS
ADVANTAGES

that humans can’t withstand.
It acts and resembles a human.
Aids emergency services in
search and rescue operations.
DISADVANTAGES
It just got revealed in
july2013, so it still has to
malfunction.
