Something core to humanoid platforms today are also the strategic departures from the human form factor.
For example, we’ve moved entirely to rotary actuators, leaving behind linear actuators that more closely mimic the form factor of our musculo-skeletal system, because rotary actuators are more efficient and have a smaller sim2real gap. This has negative implications, for example for distal mass at the ankles and wrists, but the benefits from focusing on designing just two highly efficient actuator types have brought important gains.
The actuator efficiency allows us to rely on implicit proprioception to adapt to unexpected loads, without any force/torque sensors. And the increased reliability and smaller sim2real gap has increased our development speed.
(you'll see at the end of the video an unexpected load doubling the weight of the fridge)

You can’t lift a fridge with just your hands. Your whole body needs to conform to its shape, and bear the load between your arms and torso.
Here, @BostonDynamics' Atlas uses proprioception to manage the whole-body interaction and adapt to a shifting 100 lb load. Enabling this type of high performance manipulation is exactly why we walked away from what was arguably the world’s best implementation of MPC for humanoids, and shifted entirely to RL without looking back.
This level of whole-body controls is a fundamental building block of physical intelligence and key to the value proposition of humanoids.

Just months after its debut, Atlas is proving why it is the world’s most capable and dynamic humanoid robot, ready for real work. Lifting a mini-fridge is a feat of strength, but the true breakthrough is in the underlying reinforcement learning and controls systems.

Boston Dynamics recently co-hosted a Global Tech Talent Career event with @Hyundai_Global. The event offered a rare, deep dive into Atlas, AI, and the future of mobility from the best minds in software engineering, controls architecture, and AI research.
Attendees took the lead in a reverse interview panel—challenging our panel of experts with technical questions about the future of autonomy and robotics. Our engineers shared the "why" behind their work, highlighting the culture of high-stakes problem solving and the collaborative spirit that drives Boston Dynamics forward. We showcased how the partnership between Hyundai Motor Group and how Boston Dynamics is bridging the gap between experimental research and global-scale application. A special thank you to the brilliant students who pushed the conversation forward.
The conversation doesn't stop there! Head over to our Careers Page to submit your resume and join the team.

Prince Harry joined The HALO Trust in #Ukraine 🇺🇦 today.
He piloted an AI-powered drone that detects and maps explosives, and operated an R-BOT, a remotely controlled vehicle used to safely remove them – innovations that enable us to return land to communities sooner.
“Nearly 30 years ago, when my mother visited Angola, deminers carried out painstaking work on their hands and knees. Today they are using drones, AI and robots,” said Prince Harry.
In 2022, the Ukrainian government estimated that an area twice the size of Austria was potentially littered with mines and explosives. Since then, HALO has made real progress, with an area roughly the size of Belgium, confirmed safe, allowing families to return home and farmers to safely work their land.
