Please watch that video again. That is not flat ground. It’s literally walking over rocks, loose ground, and bumpy terrain. I don’t know why you’ve got a bee in your bonnet about Boston Dynamics, but it’s very weird.
Their other robot, Spot, is used in industrial and research applications, and has sold pretty well. I don’t think Atlas is for sale yet, so that would explain why it’s not widely used.
I don't, it's not just them. They've done the best out of all the robotics companies, as far as I can tell. It's just a hard problem. Even regulated roadways navigated on wheels have proven tricky for machines.
It was covered in snow, how'd you see any of that?
