Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robot failing at parkour is strangely humbling

We knew the Boston Dynamics robots could dance, but this is something else. Now, the company’s much loved Atlas robot has learned to bust some gnarly parkour moves, backflips and all (above), but there’s a pretty sensational blooper reel to go along with it (further down). 

I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry right now, but these outtakes of Atlas falling flat on its arse (via Futurism) are sure to awaken some flavour of emotion for you—be it joyous or fearful.
