Boston Dynamics is a U.S. robotics company known for building highly mobile robots that can operate in real-world, human-designed environments. Today, its commercial portfolio centers on two “available now” robots - Spot and Stretch -supported by Orbit fleet-management software, while its future-facing platform is the electric humanoid Atlas.

Spot is a rugged quadruped used for industrial inspection, remote operations, and public-safety use cases, where it can traverse stairs, uneven terrain, and tight plant spaces while streaming sensor data. Boston Dynamics positions Orbit as the software layer that helps organisations manage robot fleets, review captured site data, and operate/monitor robots remotely across facilities.

Stretch is a mobile warehouse robot designed to keep goods moving - especially case handling and trailer/container unloading. Boston Dynamics markets Stretch for predictable throughput in logistics, and it has been commercially offered for purchase for several years as deployments scale with retail and logistics customers.

On the “future robots” side, Boston Dynamics has retired the hydraulic Atlas and is developing a fully electric Atlas intended for real-world work, pushing whole-body mobility and manipulation toward industrial applications.

Recent reporting also highlights progress toward more general, learned behaviors for Atlas (in partnership with Toyota Research Institute) and that Atlas is expected to be shown publicly at CES 2026, underscoring plans to move it from R&D toward commercialisation.
