Remember DARPA and Boston Dynamic's PETMAN? Well now they're back with a new humanoid robot, Atlas. Can he take a 20-lb medicine ball to the hip and keep his balance? Yes. Is he arc-reactor powered? It sure looks like it. Is the Atlas of today the Terminator of tomorrow? *shaking Magic 8-Ball* Weird -- it says, Courtesy is contagious. "That's because you just opened a fortune cookie." Dammit, I always get these things confused.

Hit the jump for the video, but skip to 0:45 to get to the action.
