These new hands are the perfect companion for Atlas. With 13 degrees of freedom, they are directly actuated, built for high fidelity simulation to enable sim-to-real RL, and designed from the ground up for dexterous physical work.

Why will Boston Dynamics win the humanoid robotics race? We've already commercialized autonomous mobile robots, creating markets with Spot and Stretch. Now we're doing it again with Atlas: learning in real environments, designing for manufacturing at scale, and introducing a new era of physical intelligence.
