This Boston Dynamics robot has probably done more exercise than you today
It’s running and jumping.

Boston Dynamics has released a video showing its Atlas robot out for a run in the countryside.
Atlas is an advanced robot designed to look like a human – it has arms, legs and 28 joints and is able to mimic the movement of humans. It is nearly 5ft (1.5m) tall, and weighs 165lb (75kg).
Although the new video doesn’t show Atlas doing anything drastically different from previous videos, it does show Atlas jumping forwards over an obstacle.
Boston Dynamics was bought from Google’s parent company, Alphabet, by Japanese firm SoftBank in August last year, but it looks as though developments are surging ahead.
