The Boston Dynamics company has presented a video where robots cleverly pass an obstacle course using parkour.
They have learned to adapt to new conditions: now they do not need to be programmed for each individual jump.
“Robot perception algorithms transform data from cameras and sensors into something useful for making decisions and planning physical actions,” the company wrote.

“Parkour is the perfect environment to experiment with new behaviors. "Using jumping and balancing, we push robots to their limits to usher in the next generation of mobility, perception and athletic intelligence," Boston Dynamics tweeted.
