Google's Boston Dynamics has revealed the latest version of its humanoid robot - and it can now get up easily on its own if it falls.
The Atlas robot was widely derided at the recent 'robolympics' after falling repeatedly and needing a crane to get up.
However, the new wireless version is shown being pushed over by an employee - and simply getting back up.

He's behind you! Boston Dynamic has revealed the new wireless version of its humanoid robot in a new video showing it walk, run, and even be pushed over and get up again on its own.
Boston Dynamics said the video showed 'a new version of Atlas, designed to operate outdoors and inside buildings.
'It is electrically powered and hydraulically actuated,' the secretive firm said.
'It uses sensors in its body and legs to balance and LIDAR and stereo sensors in its head to avoid obstacles, assess the terrain and help with navigation.
'This version of Atlas is about 5' 9" tall (about a head shorter than the DRC Atlas) and weighs 180 lbs.'
However, the firm released now more details - and the video has no narration.
The video shows the robot walking out of the firm's office and across a snowy plateau.
While lsing its footing several times, it corrects itself and stays upright.
It is also shown moving 10kg boxes with ease in a tight space.
It then faces a more difficult foe - an employee with a hockey stick.
