Atlas at New York New Jersey Stadium

Boston Dynamics' all-electric humanoid robot, announced April 2024 as a full redesign from the earlier hydraulic Atlas research platform. The electric Atlas stands 1.9 m (6.2 ft), weighs 90 kg, and features 56 degrees of freedom with a 2.3 m reach, 30 kg sustained payload, IP67 sealing, and a 4-hour battery with autonomous self-swap capability. Initial deployment is at Hyundai's Robotics Metaplant Application Center (RMAC) performing part sequencing, machine tending, and order-building; broader customer rollout is planned for 2027.
