Overview
Atlas is Boston Dynamics' fully electric full-size humanoid, announced in April 2024 as the successor to the retired hydraulic Atlas (2013 to 2024) known for parkour and backflip demonstrations. A product version was revealed at CES in January 2026. Atlas is in production pilot deployment rather than open sale: 2026 production units are committed to Hyundai's Robotics Metaplant and to Google DeepMind. The platform uses NVIDIA Jetson Thor compute, runs behavior models developed with Toyota Research Institute, and is managed by Boston Dynamics' Orbit fleet software.
Strengths
- 56 degrees of freedom, double the retired hydraulic generation.
- 360-degree rotation at hips, waist, and neck.
- Payload of approximately 50 kg.
- NVIDIA Jetson Thor onboard AI compute.
- Titanium and aluminum structure with 3D-printed components.
- Backed by a decade of Atlas locomotion research and Orbit fleet software.
Considerations
- Not available for general purchase; all 2026 production units are committed to Hyundai and Google DeepMind.[2]
- No official price exists. Published figures are independent estimates and range widely, from $150,000 to $420,000.[3]
- A research and industrial platform, not a consumer product.[3]
- Height figures conflict across sources: approximately 1.9 m is the primary published figure, while some references list approximately 1.5 m.[3]
The flywheel
Owner records.
Owner records are not open for the Boston Dynamics Atlas. The platform is not openly for sale; units are deployed with pilot partners. If that changes, this record will begin accepting owner-reported data.
