今年2月，广州开发区推出首批10条高效物流低空航线，运用无人机“闪送”保税下单的货物；3月，进一步开通首条城市医疗集团低空医疗配送快线，将血液标本送到医院检验科进行检验。

据广州开发区、黄埔区发展改革局相关负责人介绍，该区未来将支持亿航智能、区交投集团等低空运营商开展空中交通试点，扩大无人驾驶航空器在载人飞行、文化表演、农业农村、智能交通、城管巡查、执法取证、国土测绘、应急救援、森林防火、定位服务、灾害监测等领域的普及和应用推广。

深圳则在基础配套建设方面领先，采用“边建边使用”策略，目前已开工建设100多个eVTOL起降点，而深圳市相关低空经济行动方案显示，到2025年底，深圳全市要建设完成600个这样的起降点。

I am sure many people have followed Boston Dynamics over the years. Their videos of Atlas (the humanoid robot), Spot (the dog one) and handle (the weird one with the grabber and wheels) have generated nearly a billion views on YouTube so far.

I don't think it is a stretch to say that Atlas has demonstrated the most incredible movement in a humanoid robot to date. Yesterday Boston Dynamics announced they were retiring Atlas and gave it a farewell video which has some great footage of early testing as well as failures the robot has suffered while testing.


While this might have seemed like the end of the humanoid type robot at Boston Dynamics, today they released a video of All New Atlas which uses electric motors instead of hydraulic fluid (of which you can see ruptured lines in several cases in the video above).


IEEE Spectrum conducted an interview with Robert Playter the CEO of Boston Dynamics about the origin of All New Atlas which contains some good information.



They also have an overview of the robot itself.



Really look forward to seeing what they do with the All New Atlas!
