Boston Dynamics' Atlas humanoid robot is now a product and heading to factories in 2028

One of the world's most advanced humanoid robots is finally headed to work. Boston Dynamics and its partner, Hyundai Motors, unveiled the Atlas product at CES 2026 in Las Vegas on Monday (Jan 5th).

After developing impressive robotics for more than three decades and spending years building Atlas (first as mostly hydraulic, and now all-electric), this new version of Boston Dynamics' humanoid will be joining the company's Spot quadraped robot in manufacturing.

For the first time, Boston Dynamics offered a public demonstration of Atlas's capabilities. Up until now, the company has closely guarded the prototype, only delivering carefully editing videos highlighting a series of eye-popping capabilities that include parkour, gymnastics, running, walking, simulated factory work, and contorting in truly inhuman ways.
