About this listen
Boston Dynamics and the Toyota Research Institute demonstrated a major robotics milestone by using a Large Behavior Model (LBM) to power the Atlas humanoid, enabling continuous whole-body tasks that combine manipulation and locomotion without hand‑coding new behaviors. The video shows Atlas adapting to unexpected physical changes mid-task (e.g., sliding boxes, closing lids), illustrating how LBMs let developers add skills quickly via demonstrations and improve generalization for long‑horizon tasks. The project (launched in October 2024) advances research on large models for whole‑body control and points toward more capable, general‑purpose humanoid assistants.
