Boston Dynamics Unveils the Production Atlas at CES 2026

Boston Dynamics revealed the product version of its fully electric Atlas humanoid at Hyundai's CES media day and began building it at its Boston headquarters immediately. Every 2026 Atlas is already committed, with fleets going to Hyundai's Robotics Metaplant Application Center and to Google DeepMind.

Boston Dynamics unveiled the product version of its fully electric Atlas humanoid at CES in Las Vegas on 5 January 2026, during Hyundai's global media day.^[1]
Production began at the company's Boston headquarters immediately; every 2026 deployment is already committed, with fleets shipping to Hyundai's Robotics Metaplant Application Center and to Google DeepMind, and additional customers planned for early 2027.^[1]
Alongside the reveal, Boston Dynamics announced a partnership with Google DeepMind to put its foundation models into Atlas, and named Hyundai Mobis as the supplier of the robot's actuators.^[1]
Hyundai says a recent $26 billion US manufacturing investment puts the division on track for around 30,000 systems a year from a single factory.^[3]
Atlas went on to win CNET Group's 'Best Robot' in the Best of CES 2026 awards.^[2]

Notable features

Atlas is built as an enterprise-grade humanoid for industrial work from material handling to order fulfilment, and connects to MES, WMS and other industrial systems through Boston Dynamics' Orbit software.^[1]
Atlas has 56 degrees of freedom, a 2.3 m (7.5 ft) reach and lifts up to 50 kg (110 lb); it swaps its own batteries rather than stopping, and a task learned by one robot replicates across the fleet.^[1]
It can run autonomously, be teleoperated or be steered from a tablet; it is water-resistant, works from -20 to 40 °C (-4 to 104 °F), and has human detection and fenceless guarding for safety.^[1]
Boston Dynamics says this generation cuts the number of unique parts sharply, with every component designed to fit automotive supply chains.^[1]
