Atlas robot sorts roof racks at Georgia factory, marking progress in industrial humanoid robotics.

Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot, backed by Hyundai, successfully completed its first real-world test at a Georgia factory, autonomously sorting roof racks for automotive assembly. The 5-foot-9-inch, 200-pound robot, powered by Nvidia chips and trained via human-guided AI, demonstrates advanced mobility and task learning. While still facing challenges in delicate manipulation, its progress marks a key step toward industrial humanoid robots.
