  They're not specific about that but I would guess not:

  They say it'll be stronger and have a broader range of motion but my supposition is that being electric rather than hydraulic means the more explosive leaping and acrobatics are out. The old Atlas was just a test platform but this seems to be intended as an actual product.

    Can't wait for those things to replace even the last human jobs in factories, just for humans to not benefit from that at all. Just like pretty much all of the other industrialized machinery that was once touted to save us time and make working irrelevant.

    That makes sense. The new form factor alone is impressive.

  I’m assuming it’s very new, so probably not yet.
