How strong is Atlas?

Atlas, in the context of robotics as discussed by Lex Fridman, refers to a humanoid robot developed by Boston Dynamics. According to Robert Playter, the CEO of Boston Dynamics, Atlas has impressive capabilities in terms of strength and agility, though it may not be able to curl as much as humans just yet. A standout metric for assessing Atlas' strength is its ability to perform a box jump, jumping about a meter in height, something many humans find challenging. Playter also notes that the next generation of Atlas robots will feature even stronger actuators, suggesting that these robots will surpass human strength capabilities in certain aspects 1 .
