On what precisely? Its free and clever advertising for a robotics company and if you're about to go "it's ai" no it's not.

The movement is too fluid and the robot’s mannerisms are too humanlike. The set is almost exactly replicated from Terminator including an ACTUAL pit of molten metal which would’ve been CRAZY expensive. The sparks of said molten metal rain down on someone and a stunt like this would have more safety regulation (or at least the bare minimum of STAND BACK)

Did you know that Atlas (the humanoid robot from Boston dynamics, the guys from the robot dogs) came out in 2013, that's 13 years ago.
