It has a great kinematic system.  But with all those QR codes scattered around it obviously has little knowledge of its environment.  I think this understanding and planning is going to be the big hurdle for Atlas style robots rather than just walking around.<p>Just look at the number of types of door out there and what it would take for a robot to figure out how to navigate it without having encountered the exact door before.  Its going to need to figure out that it is a door.  Experiment to find the unlatching mechanism.  Figure out if the door swings or slides and in what direction.  Then open it without hitting its self and finally make its way through.  Then exporting the training data so other robots can learn it as well.
