Heroic rabbit digs a tiny stuck kitten out of trouble!

That is one clever rabbit! And the way he plops down to take a break after all that digging... priceless.

Chasky the rabbit comes up with a genius solution to free his cat friend, Pelu. The fluffy pet quickly digs a hole near the shed for the cat to fit through at their home in Spain. After the bunny is done, it hops away and takes a well-deserved rest after the rescue effort. Pelu goes to thank his fluffy friend for the help when he finally gets out.

Parkour Atlas

Yikes! Atlas is getting more and more agile. Not sure if it's a good thing or not but check him out doing parkour...

Atlas does parkour.  The control software uses the whole body including legs, arms and torso, to marshal the energy and strength for jumping over the log and leaping up the steps without breaking its pace.  (Step height 40 cm.)  Atlas uses computer vision to locate itself with respect to visible markers on the approach to hit the terrain accurately.

Atlas, The Next Generation


A new version of Atlas, designed to operate outdoors and inside buildings.  It is specialized for mobile manipulation.  It is electrically powered and hydraulically actuated.  It uses sensors in its body and legs to balance and LIDAR and stereo sensors in its head to avoid obstacles, assess the terrain, help with navigation and manipulate objects.  This version of Atlas is about 5' 9" tall (about a head shorter than the DRC Atlas) and weighs 180 lbs.



How small a hole can a mouse get through? Experiments.

The sound effects alone was worth the watch of this experimental video with over 18M views, involving one mouse, some peanut butter, various sizes holes... and a shrew?...

Experimenting with how small a home a mouse is able to fit through.  But it didn't go as planned.  I had a lazy mouse, and a hard-working invading shrew.

Update:  Two days later, the shrew squeezed itself through the 16.5 mm hole (See 2nd video)
