The Boston Dynamics' next generation ATLAS is the world’s most dynamic humanoid Robots - Quiet, Reliable and Tether Free.
Works both— outdoors and inside buildings. Robot can opеrate from -20C to 45C.
This latest crop of legged robots can trudge up and down hills, clamber over obstacles, and even leap into the air like a gymnast.
It is electrically powered and hydraulically actuated. It uses sensors in its body and legs to balance, and it uses LIDAR and stereo sensors in its head to avoid obstacles, assess the terrain, help with navigation, and manipulate objects, even when the objects are being moved. Full autonomy from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the activity and 28 degrees of freedom
3D printing is a key technology in the production of a modern robot. Lightweight printed body parts allow the robot to jump. When jumping over an obstacle or doing acrobatic stunts, the robot uses not only its legs but also its upper body, swinging its arms to propel itself just as an athlete would. The next-gen Atlas can also do something that its predecessor, famously, could not: It can get up after a fall.

Atlas has one of the world’s most compact mobile hydraulic systems. The innards of an Atlas are filled with hydraulic actuators as well as the lines of fluid that connect them. When one of those lines ruptures, it bleeds the hydraulic fluid, which happens to be red.
An advanced platform
for testing the craziest solutions
Marc Raibert, Boston Dynamics CEO, about Atlas’s applications
“Our long-term goal is to make
robots that have mobility, dexterity, perception and intelligence comparable to humans and animals, or perhaps exceeding them.
This robot is a step along the way.”
