The product version of the all-electric Atlas was shown at CES on 2026-01-05, and Boston Dynamics said series production would start immediately at its Boston-area headquarters. All 2026 units are committed to Hyundai's Robotics Metaplant Application Center (RMAC) in Georgia and to Google DeepMind; further customers are planned from early 2027. Hyundai says it intends to deploy about 25,000 Atlas units in its plants from 2028, but that is a plan, not a delivered fleet.
Our verdict
The best-resourced humanoid programme in the industry with a real parent customer, but as of October 2026 it is an early-access product for two named customers: not buyable, no price, no unit count published.
