The verified answer
As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies Atlas, a humanoid by Boston Dynamics (pilot): 3 verified deployments on record. 12 sources back the record.
Overview
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.

Google’s ATLAS study analyzed nearly 15 million AI interactions across more than 150 countries and found that, for the non-routine cognitive work where AI is used most heavily, fewer than 10% of conversations attempted to automate a task end-to-end. For now, the real-world picture looks much more like humans working with AI than AI simply replacing them.
Google’s ATLAS dataset suggests most observed cognitive work with AI is collaborative, but its scope and enterprise exclusions limit what the finding proves.
