Atlas-Gemini

The hybrid brain powering Boston Dynamics' all-electric Atlas. Combines Boston Dynamics' Atlas control stack (including Orbit skill-sharing) with Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics foundation models for higher-level reasoning and learning. Partnership announced at CES January 2026; Atlas 2026 production is committed to Hyundai plus DeepMind, with the Robotics Metaplant Application Center (RMAC) at Hyundai Metaplant America serving as a supervised-training data factory.

BD x DeepMind CES 2026 partnership (primary Boston Dynamics)
Boston Dynamics (Jan 5 2026, CES Las Vegas) announced an AI partnership with Google DeepMind to integrate Gemini Robotics foundation models with the new all-electric Atlas humanoid, with joint research expected to begin the same year at both companies and an initial industrial/automotive task focus. Treat roadmap claims as company-stated (Boston Dynamics)
Gemini Robotics VLA framing (primary Boston Dynamics)
The same Boston Dynamics post quotes DeepMind robotics leadership on Gemini Robotics models for perception, reasoning, tool use, and human interaction, and quotes BD Atlas behavior leadership on needing scalable VLA models for complex humanoids. Treat quotes as company-stated (Boston Dynamics)
