The Atlas Robot Deals with Frustrations at Work

I saw the latest update video on Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot and found it a bit underwhelming. We've followed Atlas for years, and he's learned how to tidy up around the factory. Meanwhile, we've been watching robots in a kickboxing tournament. So I skipped it. This particular video is about a collaboration between Boston Dynamics and the Toyota Research Institute, which is profoundly interesting if you own a factory, or if you work at a Toyota factory and could be replaced by a robot, but not so much to the general public. 

But apparently I wasn't the only one who found it a bit ho-hum. YouTuber dhant122 saw that what the video lacked was an inner monologue, or an exterior monologue, for that matter. So he fixed it. Now Atlas is the factory worker facing constant drudgery that's made worse by his nemesis Tom, who is quite the work bully. -via Laughing Squid
