Not to be outdone by the AI-upgraded Figure 01, Boston Dynamics has unveiled a new fully electric Atlas humanoid robot. This version builds upon its predecessor, which means the robot is stronger and has a broader range of motion.
The previous hydraulic Atlas (HD Atlas) could already lift and maneuver a wide variety of heavy, irregular objects, but this new model sports several new gripper variations to meet a diverse set of expected manipulation needs in customer environments. Put simply, the team is equipping Atlas to move in the most efficient way possible to complete a task, rather than being constrained by a human range of motion.

A decade ago, we were one of the only companies putting real R&D effort into humanoid robots. Now the landscape in the robotics industry is very different. Our customers have seen success with Spot and Stretch and they are eager to tackle the next challenge with Atlas. Given our track record of successful commercialization, we are confident in our plan to not just create an impressive R&D project, but to deliver a valuable solution,” said Boston Dynamics.
