Proving that robots even exercise better than you, Boston Dynamics released a new video today demonstrating its Atlas bot going for what looks to be an afternoon jog.

Not to be confused with the robodogs likely plotting something nefarious at this very moment, Atlas is the same biped that seriously freaked out the internet when it did a backflip in November of last year.

So, to recap: Boston Dynamics robots are opening doors, doing flips, and running across an uneven terrain.

I guess there's no need to violently overthrow the humans when you can just embarrass us into going back to the gym.
