Boston Dynamics recently uploaded new videos to their YouTube channel showing its Atlas Robots running outside, and the four-legged SpotMini climbing stairs.

The first video the company uploaded doesn't show any new skills that we haven't seen before, it does however showcase the putting together of various skills the company previously demonstrated for the robot: The video shows how the robot is walking outside, jumping over an obstacle, and running.

In the company's second video, Boston Dynamic shows how their "SpotMini" is navigating by itself - autonomously, as well as walking up and down stairs.

The video also provides an insight of the robot’s navigation systems, and how it uses them to detect nearby objects and paths to walk. See the videos from Boston Dynamics below.
