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.

I'm pointing out a very obvious way in which automation does indeed help benefit humans in general. We have access to sophisticated products at very low prices compared to what it would be like if all this stuff was made "by hand."
