Watch Google's robot perform that scene from 'The Karate Kid'

When everyone was wondering what Google had in mind for all its new robotics companies, "teaching robots martial arts" was probably one of the more paranoid guesses. Boston Dynamics, which used to be funded by DARPA before getting bought by Google a year ago, also makes the animal-like robots BigDog and Cheetah. Atlas debuted in 2013 and Boston has released several videos of the robot slowly climbing over rubble and removing debris — the hope is that eventually Atlas could be sent on dangerous rescue missions.
