Boston Dynamics’ humanoid Atlas robot is now a gymnast

Boston Dynamics’ humanoid Atlas robot is now a gymnast Over the past few years, we've seen Atlas navigate uneven terrain and even jump around a parkour course. This latest video is on another level, though. The bipedal robot does a handstand, rolls around and also does a few jumping twists -- all without losing its balance.

Separately, enterprise customers interested in one of the company’s dog-like Spot robots can apply to purchase one. According to Boston Dynamics, the versatile bot is useful for going places a wheeled machine can’t reach; like inspecting construction sites or serving as a remotely-controlled camera for public safety.

The first stop for Mario Kart Tour is New York City, where players can control the familiar-looking racer using their phone’s touchscreen instead of a gamepad.

How to pick a 4K TV in 2019 Even though many of today's televisions have a baseline picture quality that was nearly unreachable just a few years ago, trying to find one that fits you among identical-looking screens with differences that are only apparent in their price tags will require some skill.

Watch the first flight of a drone with a microturbine engine A company called UAV Turbines has successfully completed the inaugural flight of its Monarch 5 engine, which is essentially a tiny version of the engines you see on planes.

Apple Watch Series 5 review

Apple Watch Series 5 review According to Dana Wollman, the fifth edition of Apple’s Watch is a minor upgrade, but a good one. Even with its new always-on Retina display, it’s probably not a necessary upgrade from last year’s model -- that one still gets a lot of the other new tweaks thanks to WatchOS 6 -- but if you’re buying a smartwatch for the first time, then this is the best one you can get.
