Boston Dynamics Unveils the Production Atlas at CES 2026
- 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]
