The Most Dynamic Humanoid Robot

Atlas’s advanced control system and state-of-the-art hardware give the robot the power and balance to demonstrate human-level agility.

SEE ATLAS IN ACTION
Technology
Atlas is an R&D platform pushing the bounds of robotics forward.

HIGH POWER

Atlas has one of the world’s most compact mobile hydraulic systems. A custom battery, valves, and a compact hydraulic power unit enable Atlas to deliver high power to any of its 28 hydraulic joints for impressive feats of mobility.

ACTUATION JOINTS
Hydraulic 28
DYNAMIC

Atlas’s advanced control system enables highly diverse and agile locomotion, while algorithms reason through complex dynamic interactions involving the whole body and environment to plan movements.

SPEED
2.5 m/s

LIGHTWEIGHT

Atlas uses 3D printed parts to give it the strength-to-weight ratio necessary for leaps and somersaults.

HEIGHT WEIGHT
1.5 m 89 kg
Whole-Body Coordination and Dynamic Motion

Atlas leverages its whole body to move with human-like grace and speed.

 

 

Behavior Libraries
Template motions are created using trajectory optimization and combined into complex routines.
Real-Time Perception
Atlas uses depth sensors to generate point clouds of the environment and detect its surroundings.
Model-Predictive Control
Atlas uses models of the robot’s dynamics to predict how its motion will evolve over time and adjust accordingly.
