Best known for headline-grabbing demonstrations, its current humanoid is the all-electric [Atlas](/models/boston-dynamics-atlas) (a full redesign of the original hydraulic Atlas), now moving into commercial factory work with Hyundai. Its quadruped [Spot](/models/boston-dynamics-spot) is the company's established commercial success (industrial inspection, security, research), informing its robots-as-a-service pricing and field-support models.\n\nDeployments: the electric Atlas is being deployed into Hyundai's manufacturing operations (including the Georgia Metaplant Application Center), beginning with material-handling/evaluation tasks and progressing toward production-line work; software is developed with Hyundai operational data and a DeepMind partnership. Boston Dynamics has stated plans for up to 30,000 Atlas units per year by 2028 through Hyundai (a forward capacity plan, not current output). Atlas won Best Robot / Best of CES at CES 2026.\n\nValuation note: following the CES 2026 Atlas demonstration, Boston Dynamics is undergoing a significant valuation re-rating: Korean securities firms have implied valuations of roughly $21-28 billion and bullish analysts have floated IPO targets of $85B+, but these are implied/speculative figures, not a confirmed raise or IPO. The company is widely noted as pre-commercial on humanoids (Atlas) even as Spot is commercially proven.","status":"Hyundai subsidiary","founded":1992,"hq":"Waltham, Massachusetts, USA","fundingTotal":"1100000000","type":"both","reviewStatus":"reviewed","lifecycleState":"active","supersededByCompanyId":null,"sources":[{"url":"https://bostondynamics.com/","label":"Boston Dynamics — company website","title":"Boston Dynamics — company website","mediaType":"article","sourceName":"Boston Dynamics","publishedAt":"2026-01-01"},{"url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Dynamics","label":"Boston Dynamics — Wikipedia","title":"Boston Dynamics — Wikipedia","mediaType":"article","sourceName":"Wikipedia","publishedAt":"2026-01-01"},{"url":"https://bostondynamics.com/blog/boston-dynamics-unveils-new-atlas-robot-to-revolutionize-industry/","title":"Boston Dynamics (official) - unveils the all-electric Atlas (full redesign of the hydraulic Atlas)","sourceName":"Boston Dynamics (official)"},{"url":"https://www.hyundaimotorgroup.com/en/news/CONT0000000000199186","title":"Hyundai Motor Group (official) - Boston Dynamics Atlas named Best Robot in Best of CES 2026 (BD is a Hyundai Motor Group company)","sourceName":"Hyundai Motor Group (official)"},{"url":"https://bostondynamics.com/products/spot/","title":"Boston Dynamics - Spot quadruped (commercial product, official)","sourceName":"Boston Dynamics (official)"},{"url":"https://siliconangle.com/2026/01/06/hyundai-boston-dynamics-join-forces-bring-humanoid-robots-factories/","title":"Hyundai and Boston Dynamics join forces to bring humanoid robots to factories (Jan 2026)","sourceName":"SiliconANGLE"},{"url":"https://www.humanoidsdaily.com/news/the-alien-in-the-factory-boston-dynamics-launches-production-ready-atlas-at-ces-2026","title":"Boston Dynamics launches the production-ready Atlas at CES 2026","sourceName":"Humanoids Daily"},{"url":"https://www.hyundainews.com/releases/4664","title":"Hyundai - Boston Dynamics Atlas (Hyundai Motor Group company)","sourceName":"Hyundai (official)"},{"url":"https://bostondynamics.com/blog/electric-new-era-for-atlas/","title":"Boston Dynamics - an electric new era for Atlas (official;
