When Boston Dynamics set out to build Atlas®, the guiding question wasn’t “what should a robot look like?” It was “what does industrial work actually demand?” The result is a humanoid unlike anything else on the floor.
On Wednesday, March 18th at 11:00 AM ET, the team behind that vision is pulling back the curtain.
Join Chris Thorne, Director of Hardware Innovation, James Cuseo, Technical Director of Compute and Sensing, and Aaron Abroff, Head of Industrial Design, from Boston Dynamics for a 30-minute technical deep dive into how core product requirements shaped every aspect of Atlas’ design.
In this 30-minute session, you’ll learn about:
- Actuator strategy – How modular, high-performance actuators enable continuous rotation and greater flexibility on the floor
- Safety philosophy – How Atlas is designed to protect the people and equipment around it, without sacrificing capability
- Passive thermal approach – Why a fanless cooling system makes Atlas more reliable and better suited for industrial environments
- Head design and UX – How the light ring and perception goals shaped the most recognizable part of the robot
If you’re responsible for operations, automation, or evaluating next-generation robotics for your facility, this session was built for you.
