Part 3/8:
Atlas is built on an established foundation of full-body control, aiming to better generalize its functionality for real-world challenges. The robot boasts impressive computational capabilities, with 10,000 sparse 8-bit integer tera operations per second for rapid, straightforward AI jobs, and a trillion sparse 8-bit floating point operations per second for more nuanced decision-making.
Powering all these features is a robust 3.7 kWh lithium-ion battery that supports around one hour of mixed operational tasks like walking and tool usage. Boston Dynamics has plans to commercially launch Atlas in late 2026, targeting industrial sectors first, with expected pricing in excess of $100,000.
