The project to develop the hydraulic, human shaped hero is overseen by DARPA, a wing of the U.S. Defense Department. The tool, which researchers say will someday rescue people in environments where humans can\u2019t survive, appeared in 2013 and has been undergoing refinements since.<\/p>\n<p>The latest video \u2013 released by research partner ihmc Robotics \u2013 shows the robot carrying out Daniel LaRusso\u2019s famous training montage from \u201cThe Karate Kid\u201d while balancing on a pile of cinder blocks.<\/p>\n<p>At 6\u20192\u2033 and 330 pounds, the robot \u2013 known as Ian \u2013 can also walk, jump and drive a car.<\/p>\n<p>The original design for the Atlas requires a tethered power source, but researchers are reportedly working to eliminate that handicap.<\/p>\n<p>Google acquired Boston Dynamics a year ago.
