Boston Dynamics upgrades Atlas with multimodal AI

Atlas transitioning from a hydraulic stunt bot to an AI-driven commercial worker is a massive leap for humanoid robotics.

• –Multimodal LLM integration allows Atlas to process visual, tactile, and auditory inputs for complex reasoning and instruction following
• –Whole-body learning enables the robot to use its entire frame for leverage, mimicking human moving techniques instead of just using hands
• –The new electric joints feature 360-degree rotation, enabling superhuman contortions and efficiency
• –Integration with the Orbit software platform allows learned skills to be instantly shared across an entire fleet
