Overview

Atlas is the electric, product version of Boston Dynamics' biped humanoid. It stands 1.9 m tall, weighs 90 kg and carries an IP67 rating. The maker names two external sites, including Hyundai Motor Group's metaplant in Georgia, where field testing began in autumn 2025.

Its status is pilot. Boston Dynamics says deployments are scheduled for 2026 and that a select number of early adopters will receive the robot. No price has been published.

The published figures centre on strength and endurance. Atlas can sustain a 30 kg load, against a 20 kg median carry payload among tracked humanoids, and can lift 50 kg for short periods. It has 56 degrees of freedom, well above the median of 29. Runtime is 240 min, and the batteries are self-swappable for continuous operation. Sensing combines tactile sensors with a 360° camera view. Teleoperation is used to collect training data, and the trained policies then run on their own. Boston Dynamics has not published walking speed, battery capacity, charge time, processor or safety certifications.
