Atlas (Electric 2025)
Last updated:
Atlas (Electric Atlas, 2025) is Boston Dynamics' fifth-generation humanoid robot, fully electric and designed for real-world industrial and research applications. It features advanced all-electric actuators that provide superior strength and a broader range of motion than previous models, including 360-degree rotation at key joints. Atlas integrates sophisticated sensor arrays such as LiDAR, stereo and RGB cameras, and depth sensors, enabling real-time perception and environmental awareness. Its software leverages AI, machine learning, and large behavior models for autonomous whole-body manipulation and locomotion, allowing it to perform complex tasks like packing, sorting, and adapting dynamically to unexpected physical challenges. The robot is built with lightweight titanium and aluminum 3D printed parts for optimal strength-to-weight ratio and supports integration with Boston Dynamics’ fleet management software, Orbit.
