Atlas is an enterprise-grade humanoid robot from Boston Dynamics, fully electrically designed for real-world industrial work, material handling, and intelligent automation. Its goal is to transform industrial workspaces by providing unparalleled strength and intelligent autonomy.
Key capabilities:
- Seamless deployment: For a variety of material handling applications, Atlas requires minimal supervision and supports barcode scanning and other workflow integrations.
- Intelligent work: Based on the latest AI advances, when one Atlas learns a new skill, that task can be easily deployed across the entire Atlas fleet.
- Continuous operation: Atlas can autonomously navigate to a charging station, replace its own battery, and then immediately return to the task.
- Enterprise intelligence: Orbit is the single source of truth for connecting Atlas to MES, WMS, and other systems of record, overseeing Atlas's work and performance, and viewing fleet metrics. Customers are currently enhancing their AI and enterprise data strategies through Orbit, and in the future can integrate Atlas into the existing Orbit platform.
Design features:
- As the world's first enterprise-grade industrial humanoid robot, every centimeter of Atlas has been carefully designed, manufactured, and calibrated.
- It has the strength and endurance needed to complete demanding tasks and supports self-swapping batteries for continuous operation.
- It learns new tasks quickly, can adapt to dynamic environments, and works autonomously with minimal supervision.
- It can operate in the same workstations as employees using the same equipment, with robust perception, intelligent safety systems, and workflow integration.
- It is designed with reliability and maintainability in mind, with a wide working range and predictable performance even under the harshest conditions.
How to use:
- Assess use cases and workflows: Evaluate your use cases and workflows together with experts.
- Coordinate training: Coordinate "on-the-job" training and application-specific skills.
- Integrate workflows: Integrate Atlas into your workflows to deliver value from day one.
Applicable scenarios:
- Material handling: Including part sequencing, machine tending, order building, and more.
- Industrial automation: Suitable for enterprise applications requiring flexible, predictable, and intelligent material handling.
Limitations or current status:
- Currently in the early adoption stage: Atlas has conducted its first customer pilot with Hyundai, with on-site testing in real-world sequencing tasks.
- Product release: The latest iteration is built for enterprise applications, incorporating real-world testing experience and supporting safety, reliability, and ecosystem integration.
- Skill building: Will work with selected customers to build Atlas skills for the next round of applications, including part sequencing, machine tending, order building, and more.
- End-to-end solution: Will expand the initial deployment and scale with early adopter customers to make Atlas more broadly available.
- How to get it: Boston Dynamics will start with a few early adopters, but welcomes contact now. The team will communicate with qualified potential customers to discuss how dynamic mobile robots can transform operations.
