Said vs. Did: Boston Dynamics’s promises, tracked →
Atlas sits at the heavy-manipulation end of the market, with 56 degrees of freedom, a 50 kg payload and 7.5 ft of reach. Its standout is learning efficiency. In May 2026 it lifted objects over 100 lb using a skill learned entirely in simulation, then adapted beyond its training range without retraining. This is the technique known as zero-shot sim-to-real.

Atlas is in pilot. Hyundai's Metaplant Application Center in Georgia has opened, and Atlas units are training there. Hyundai plans to put Atlas on the Metaplant production line from 2028 and is targeting capacity of about 30,000 units a year.
Hyundai completed its buyout of SoftBank's stake on 20 July 2026, so Boston Dynamics is now wholly owned by Hyundai Motor. Atlas is offered on enterprise terms. No public price has been published.
