Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Boston Dynamics has released a new video (available in the article) that shows its Atlas robot running, cartwheeling, and breakdancing. Atlas' walking now resembles walking rather than taking a bunch of steps - its other movements are starting to look less forced too. The current explosion in humanoid robotics is still at a very early stage, but it is looking clearer than ever that humans and androids will soon be interacting regularly in daily life. Chinese company Unitree has also been doing incredible work with its lightweight G1 humanoid, which has a starting price tag of $16,000.
