Product Description
Atlas is a leaping, backflipping humanoid robot designed by Boston Dynamics that uses depth sensors for real-time perception and model-predictive control technology to improve motion. Built with 3D-printed parts, Atlas is used by company roboticists as a research and design tool to increase human-like agility and coordination. Boston Dynamics’ newest electric version of Atlas has shown much promise, and the company plans to improve the robot’s reinforcement learning through a partnership with the Robotics & AI Institute.
Mobility & Structure
| Attribute | Value | Description | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Locomotion Type | N/A | Bipedal, wheeled-hybrid, etc. | Defines interaction envelope |
| Degrees of Freedom (DOF) | N/A | # of controllable joints | Directly tied to dexterity & versatility |
| Max Walk Speed | N/A | m/s | Static, dynamic balancing |
Upper Body & Manipulation
| Attribute | Value | Description | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arm DOF | N/A | Each arm's axis count | Higher = more natural movement |
| Hand Dexterity | N/A | Pinch / 3-finger / 5-finger | Newtons |
| Grip Feedback | N/A | Force, pressure, tactile sensors | Enables delicate handling and learning |
Perception
| Attribute | Value | Description | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual Sensors (Eyes) | N/A | RGB / Depth / IR / LiDAR | Navigation, facial recognition, object tracking |
| Eye DOF / Movement | N/A | Can they move? (Y/N, axis count) | Naturalistic interaction & gaze tracking |
| Audio Sensors (Ears) | N/A | # of mics + array type | Needed for voice commands, sound source localization |
| Face Display / Actuators | N/A | LED screen / moving eyebrows / static | Social communication, emotional response |
| Face Expressiveness | N/A | None / Basic / Realistic | Higher = better interaction in social spaces |
Interfaces
| Attribute | Value | Description | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voice Recognition | N/A | NLP model + languages supported | Enables natural user interaction |
| Speech Output | N/A | TTS engine used + quality level | Critical for public/commercial use |
| Touch UI / Screen | N/A | Present or not | Optional fallback interaction |
| Remote Control | N/A | Web / App / Joystick | Needed for manual override or remote training |
