Production starts immediately at its Boston headquarters. All deliveries planned for 2026 are already committed: fleets go to Hyundai's Robotics Metaplant Application Center (RMAC) and to Google DeepMind, with which Boston Dynamics announced a partnership the same day to give Atlas foundation models. More customers are expected in early 2027. ### Specifications | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Degrees of freedom | 56 | | Reach | 2.3 m | | Payload | 50 kg | | Operating temperature | −20 to 40 °C | | Power | Autonomous battery swapping | | Control | Autonomous, teleoperated or via tablet | ### Why it matters For Boston Dynamics, this is the shift from demonstration to product.
