Atlas is the name used for multiple robot models produced by American robotics company Boston Dynamics.
The first Atlas robot was a bipedal hydraulic humanoid robot primarily developed by 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 2024, the hydraulic Atlas (HD Atlas) was retired from service.[2] A new fully electric version was announced the following day.
