Atlas

Atlas

Atlas is the world’s most dynamic humanoid robot, engineered to push the limits of whole-body mobility and manipulation. Its advanced control system and high-density lithium-ion battery enable it to walk, jump, backflip, and interact with complex environments. Equipped with stereo vision, LiDAR, force sensing, and inertial measurements, Atlas navigates uneven terrain and maintains balance under disturbances. The fully electric version offers broader motion and commercial deployment pathways, marking a new era in humanoid robotics.
