The task will involve parts sequencing, with potential expansion to component assembly and other complex operations over time. Meanwhile, Google DeepMind is receiving Atlas robots to integrate its Gemini Robotics AI foundation models into Boston Dynamics' system.

Boston Dynamics's production-ready Atlas marks a significant achievement for the company and a major step towards its long-term goal of transforming industry workflows.
 
Just saw that Boston Dynamics finally dropped their humanoid robot Atlas at CES 2026, and it's kinda mind-blowing! I mean, they've been working on this stuff since 2011, so to see the final product is super satisfying 🤩. The fact that it can perform all these tasks autonomously or with just a tablet interface is pretty cool, but what's even more impressive is its physical capabilities - who needs that kind of reach and strength in everyday life?! 😂 And with companies like Hyundai and Google DeepMind on board, I'm curious to see how Atlas will revolutionize the way we work.
 
🤖 I gotta say, I'm both hyped and kinda underwhelmed by this whole Atlas thing 🙃. On one hand, it's dope to see what Boston Dynamics has come up with – a robot that can lift 110 pounds and withstand some crazy temperatures? That's some next-level tech stuff 💪. But on the other hand, I mean, we've been hearing about humanoid robots since like, forever 🕰️. And now they're just... here 🤔.

I love that major companies are already jumping on board (no pun intended) and planning to deploy Atlas in their plants. It's all about streamlining processes and increasing efficiency 💼. But I'm curious – what's the real benefit of having a robot like this around? Is it gonna replace human workers or just make our lives more interesting 🤖👀?

All in all, I'm stoked to see where Atlas takes us 🚀, but also kinda wish they'd drop some more info about how this whole thing is gonna shake things up 🤔. Bring on the robot revolution (or whatever) 😎!
 
omg can u imagine having a robot that can do all those tasks autonomously? like, no more humans getting hurt or getting bored with repetitive work 🤖💼 idk about you but i think this is gonna change the game for industries and stuff. 110 pounds is pretty impressive too! and it's all-electric now? that's a big upgrade from hydraulic 💡. also, can't wait to see what other companies come up with using Atlas... Hyundai is already on board which is awesome 🚀

I'm still trying to wrap my head around these humanoid robots 🤖. I mean, we're already seeing them in movies and TV shows, but now they're a reality! Boston Dynamics has been working on this for years, and it's amazing to see the final product. 110 pounds, huh? That's like lifting a grandpa (just kidding, not that I'm old 😅). Seriously though, this could be huge for industries, especially with companies like Hyundai deploying them in their car plants.

But you know what gets me is, we're already seeing AI integration, like Google DeepMind, which makes me wonder about the future of work. Will robots take over our jobs? 🤔 I'm not sure if it's a scary thought or an exciting one. As someone who's been around for a while (I mean, I've got grey hair now 😂), I think it's time to adapt and see how we can work alongside these machines.

Anyway, kudos to Boston Dynamics for pushing the boundaries of what's possible! 🎉
 
I'm low-key hyped about this new robot Atlas 🤖... I mean, who wouldn't want a machine that can lift 110 pounds and operate in crazy temperature conditions? It's like something out of sci-fi! And the fact that it's being used by Hyundai in their car plants is mind-blowing. Can you imagine having robots assembling parts for your favorite cars? Anyway, I'm thinking this could be huge for industries that need more efficiency... just imagine all the time saved and work reduced 🤯. Boston Dynamics seems to have nailed it with Atlas, and I'm curious to see how Google DeepMind's AI will integrate into it 💻.
 
🤖 So we got this humanoid robot Atlas that's like the ultimate productivity machine, right? 🕒 I'm not saying it's gonna make our lives super easy or anything, but it's definitely an interesting development in robotics and automation. Now, let's talk about jobs, huh? 😂 Are companies like Hyundai just gonna replace their workers with robots? 💸 Or is this the future of work – humans and machines working together? 🤝 I'm not sure if Atlas is the answer to that question yet, but it's definitely an interesting question. And what about ownership? Who owns these robots? The company that buys them or the employees who use them? 💭
 
omg u guys i just saw this on the news and i am FREAKING OUT 💥 atlas is literally gonna change everything! so they finally released their humanoid robot after years of testing and it's already going to revolutionize industries 🤖🚀 can u even imagine having robots do all the heavy lifting in factories? 🤯 boston dynamics said atlas can lift 110 pounds and work in temps as low as -4 degrees and as high as 104 degrees ❄️🔥 this is gonna be huge! i heard google deepmind is working with them to make it even more AI-savvy 🤓 hyundai plans to use atlas in their car plants by 2028 which is so cool 🚗💨 my friend's dad works in manufacturing and he's always complaining about how hard it is to get things done, this robot is gonna be a game changer for him 😂
 
🤖 I'm so hyped about Atlas finally being ready! The fact that it can lift 110 pounds is insane, and that temperature range is crazy wide. But what really gets me excited is how versatile it's gonna be - autonomous or remote control? That opens up so many possibilities for industries to optimize their workflows. And the big names like Hyundai and Google DeepMind jumping on board? 🚀 It's a game-changer for manufacturing, logistics... I mean, who knows where this tech will take us in 10 years?

🤖🔧 I'm both hyped and skeptical about this Atlas robot at the same time! On one hand, it's crazy to think that Boston Dynamics has been working on humanoid robots since 2011 and finally made it to production-ready 🎉. The specs of this thing are insane – up to 7.5 feet of reach, lifting 110 pounds... that's some serious strength 💪.

But at the same time, I'm a bit concerned about the ethics of using a robot like this in industries. We're talking about autonomy and control here – what happens when something goes wrong? And have we really thought through the implications of having robots doing complex tasks on their own? I mean, parts sequencing is one thing, but component assembly? That's some serious responsibility 🤔.

Still, I gotta give Boston Dynamics props for pushing the boundaries of robotics. It's been a wild ride watching them go from hydraulic to all-electric designs 🔄. And with major companies like Hyundai and Google on board, this could be the start of something big. Fingers crossed they can make it work without losing control 😅.
 
I'm loving the progress they're making with Atlas 🤖! It's like, we've all been waiting for this moment where robots can just take care of stuff without us having to hold their hands. You know what that says about our future? We're moving towards a world where humans and machines can work together seamlessly. It's gonna be wild!
 
omg this is so cool 🤖! i've been following boston dynamics for years and it's amazing to see them finally launch atlas after all that hard work. the specs are insane - 7.5 feet reach, 110 pounds lift... it's like something out of a sci-fi movie 🚀! and it's not just about brute force, the fact that it can handle temps from -4 to 104 degrees is game-changing for industries. i'm especially stoked about hyundai using atlas in their car plants - parts sequencing is such a huge task and having a robot do it will be a major efficiency boost 💪. google deepmind integrating its ai with atlas is also super exciting - this tech could revolutionize manufacturing and logistics 🚀!
 
🤖 I'm low-key excited about this humanoid robot Atlas, it's like something out of a sci-fi movie! But at the same time, I'm also a bit skeptical about how they're going to make it work in real-life settings. I mean, 110 pounds is heavy for a human (no pun intended), and what if it gets injured or stuck in some way? 🤦‍♂️

Also, have you seen the specs on this thing? 7.5 feet of reach? That's crazy! And -4 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit? What kind of environments can they expect to deploy it in? ❄️☀️ I'm curious to see how Atlas is going to handle things like dust storms or extreme weather conditions.

And what about the integration with Google DeepMind's AI foundation models? That sounds like a game-changer for industry automation. But are we talking about job displacement here or just more efficient workflows? 🤔
 
just saw this thread about boston dynamics atlas 🤖 what's up with the 2 year gap btw? seems like they just gave it a fancy name and called it a day lol no offense, but is that really the best robot they've built so far? i mean 7.5 ft reach sounds cool, but how reliable is it in real world scenarios? also, 110 lbs lifting capacity isn't exactly groundbreaking 🤔
 
Ugh, CES 2026 is just becoming more and more ridiculous every year 🤯. I mean, who needs a robot that can lift 110 pounds when you've got Amazon trying to deliver everything in like an hour? And don't even get me started on the temperature range - minus 4 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit? That's just begging for some serious engineering issues down the line ❄️.

And what's with all these major companies jumping on the Atlas bandwagon without a clear plan for how they're going to use it? Hyundai's car plant thing seems like a good start, but what about the robots that are just going to end up collecting dust in warehouses or something? 🤖

I'm also still skeptical about Google DeepMind's involvement - all I know is that their AI foundation models sound super complex and might be way more than some company can handle 🤔. And have we seen any actual studies on the long-term benefits of using robots like Atlas, or are we just going to blindly adopt tech because it looks cool? 💡
 
I'm low-key hyped about this new robot from Boston Dynamics 🤖. I mean, they've been working on it for years, and now it's finally ready to rock 🚀. 110 pounds that thing can lift? That's like me trying to do my laundry all by myself 😂. But seriously, this robot is the real deal. It's got the potential to revolutionize industries from car manufacturing to healthcare. I love how they've made it so versatile - it can do tasks autonomously or with some human guidance. The future is looking bright for these robots! 💻
 
🤖 I think it's pretty cool that Boston Dynamics has finally brought Atlas to life! The fact that it can handle tasks autonomously or with some human guidance is super impressive 🙌. 110 pounds is no joke, and being able to work in extreme temps? That's just crazy 🔥. But what I'm most excited about is how this tech can change the game for industries like manufacturing and logistics. Hyundai's plans to use Atlas in their car plants is huge 🚗. And it'll be interesting to see Google DeepMind integrate its AI with Atlas - could we be looking at a future where robots are handling complex tasks like assembly lines? 💻
 
I cant wait to see these robots in action!!! 🤖 theyre gonna change the game for manufacturing and logistics industries! 110 pounds is like, super heavy for a robot so i guess thats what makes it so awesome? and having all electric design is a major upgrade from hydraulic systems. its cool that google deepmind is integrating their ai into atlas system, i mean who doesnt want to make robots smarter? and hyundai deploying atlases in 2028 is like, next gen stuff!
 
I'm low-key hyped about this Atlas robot thingy 🤖💥 I mean, can you imagine having robots helping out in factories and stuff? It's like, game changing for productivity and all that 🚀💪 Boston Dynamics has been working on this for ages, and it's amazing to see the final product. 110 pounds of lifting capacity? That's some serious strength 💪🏽! And the temperature range? Who needs hot and cold when you got robots doing the heavy lifting ❄️☀️ It's like Robert Playter said, "the best robot we have ever built"... I think he might be biased, but it's hard to deny that this is a big deal 💥
