About Atlas
Atlas is Boston Dynamics' fully electric industrial humanoid, designed for movement and manipulation across factory and logistics environments. Its joint architecture provides a wide range of motion for lifting, carrying, turning and reaching around equipment and storage systems.
The robot uses onboard perception, model-based control and autonomous task planning to locate objects and coordinate whole-body movement. Boston Dynamics is developing Atlas with Hyundai Motor Group and other industrial partners, beginning with material-handling and manufacturing workflows. Atlas remains in enterprise development and pilot deployment.
