Week 2- Avatar vs Atlas

 Over the past weekend, I decided to indulge on Avatar 2 and immediately I recalled how similar the Robots looked like Atlas. Therefore this blog will further explore and analyze the artificial intelligence currently used in reality and fantasy. For those unaware, Atlas is a Robot created by Boston Dynamics with amazing skills and machine learning ability. On January 18th 2023, Boston Dynamics published a video of Atlas gripping objects, doing a summersault, and other human-like activities. Below is am image of Atlas and click here to watch Atlas in reality!


Now onto Avatar, which was an emotional rollercoaster in itself. When I first saw General Ardmore's exoskeleton Robot, it reminded me of Atlas. Also known as the AMP suit or Amplified Mobility Platform was used as a protective armor from the native Na'vi tribe. Below is an image the AMP suit represented in the movie.

Now the question remains: Are these Robots used to assist humans or annihilate an entire species?

 At this point in life, traveling is part of my identity. I use traveling (outside US) as a mental break from the hospital, family, and even friends.
