Robotic design company Boston Dynamics has improved its signature humanoid robot. Atlas is now running — and it looks more agile than some older versions. 

Thursday marked the first time in two years the company released video of Atlas being tested on outdoor terrain. 

The running robot shows the company's progress in creating human-like machines. 

Although if it's a competition, it looks like it still has a ways to go.
