Boston Dynamics Retires Atlas Humanoid Robot Evolution
Boston Dynamics announced today that they will be retiring their Atlas humanoid robot platform after nearly 10-years of development and progress. This robot featured dynamic manipulation that allowed it to use both hands and its full range of motion to interact with the world in meaningful ways.



Unlike other humanoid robots, Atlas utilized dynamic models of it self to predict how its motion will evolve over time, while depth sensors enabled it to see its surroundings. Featuring 28 hydraulic joints and a frame made of titanium, aluminum, as well as 3D-printed prints to give it the strength-to-weight ratio required for leaping purposes.

Boston Dynamics Retires Atlas Humanoid Robot Evolution

I was in my first year of MechE degree when Atlas did the back-flip landing. Our introductory course’s instructor had us watch the video in the class as well. Now, as an engineer who worked on UAVs, USVs, UGVs and some other robots, I can only realize how hard was it to create something like Atlas,” said one commenter.
