"This final enterprise version of Atlas "can perform a wide array of industrial tasks," according to Boston Dynamics, and is specifically designed with consistency and reliability in mind. Atlas can work autonomously, via a teleoperator or with "a tablet steering interface," and the robot is both strong and durable. Boston Dynamics says Atlas has a reach of up to 7.5 feet, the ability to lift 110 pounds and can operate at temperatures ranging from minus 4 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit."
"Boston Dynamics has been publicly demoing its work on humanoid robots since at least 2011, when it first debuted Atlas as a DARPA project. Since then, the robot has gone through multiple prototypes and revisions, most notably switching from a hydraulic design to an all-electric design in 2024. Later that year, Boston Dynamics demonstrated the robot's ability to manipulate car parts, which appears to be one of the first ways Atlas will be put to work."
Atlas is entering production with the final enterprise version currently being built and the first deployments slated for Hyundai and Google DeepMind. The robot is designed for industrial tasks with emphasis on consistency and reliability. Atlas can operate autonomously, via teleoperation, or using a tablet steering interface, and offers a 7.5-foot reach, 110-pound lifting capacity, and operation across -4 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The platform transitioned from hydraulic to all-electric design in 2024 and demonstrated part manipulation capabilities suitable for automotive applications. Hyundai plans initial use in car plants with expanded assembly roles targeted by 2030.
