Atlas is the name used for multiple robot models produced by Boston Dynamics.
The first Atlas robot was a bipedal hydraulic humanoid robot primarily developed by the American robotics company Boston Dynamics with funding and oversight from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The robot was initially designed for a variety of search and rescue tasks, and was unveiled to the public on July 11, 2013.[1]
In April of 2024, the hydraulic Atlas (HD Atlas) was retired from service.[2] A new fully electric version was announced the following day.
