    Damn!

    The production model is trash compared to prototype atlas as shown.

    There is something so funny about being strangled during the robot uprising by a giant ring-light.

    • @sajkachris

      January 5, 2026 at 7:25 pm

      Funny? or romantic?

    • @Thorsten566

      January 5, 2026 at 7:43 pm

      @sajkachris Yes

      Someone on that robotics team might be a Pathfinder fan from Apex Legends. Now I just want Pathfinder’s animations to be updated to have his limbs rotate like Atlas’ limbs. /watch?v=kBpc2EaKBcA

    They messed up the production model, these companies are idiots, they should of learned how to mass produce the research model

    • @phoenixmorphix

      January 5, 2026 at 7:15 pm

      Harsh, but, yeah, a research model would’ve been cool.

      I think they’re going for enterprise models primarily because many companies with sizable pockets are betting on ai & automation. Therefore, they’re more likely to buy these robots in bulk.

    [1:42] I really appreciate that they were very clear about how the robot was being controlled (typically autonomous, teleoperated with simple commands today).

    So many companies are vague and intentionally misleading about how their humanoid robots are being controlled in demos, so it’s nice to see clarity here.

    For those thinking, my job is safe because robots can’t do it yet. True, but all the unemployed factory workers can and they will start competing for jobs in all the other sectors.

    I bet Hyundai can build a Jaeger in its shipyards.

  8. @lyft4238

    January 5, 2026 at 7:09 pm

    I think it’s ugly because it’s made for factories

  9. @kbram7363

    can’t believe Google sold it

  10. @phoenixmorphix

    5:02 Very glad different climates were considered! 👏👏👏

    Anthony Daniels (C3PO) it’s probably watching this video why, why did I have to have such a restrictive robot suit???? Look how mobile this robot is😂

    upto 104 degrees is not good with the weather it is going to be like.

  14. @RPG_Guy-fx8ns

    January 5, 2026 at 7:32 pm

    Just add a version number. Call this Atlas 7. Atlas 6 looked better.

    • @RPG_Guy-fx8ns

      January 5, 2026 at 7:45 pm

      Also, I don’t know why they would put motors in the ankles, instead of moving them to the calves like everyone else.

    This is giving me strong Cylon, Caprica vibes. First they enter the workforce, integrate into society. Then, they revolt….

    Guess who will be patrolling the cities in 30 years? With the assist of drone motherships high above the skies of our streets?

  18. @WhoTnT

    January 5, 2026 at 7:51 pm

    This presentation has reach the point where it is starting to sound like the media in video games about robotic companies. Instead of Hammond Robotics from Apex Legends, we have Hyundai Robotics. The future has reached much faster than I would have thought

    January 5, 2026 at 7:53 pm

    Dint Unitree do al this and more in 2025?

    • @デヴィン

      January 5, 2026 at 8:27 pm

      Can you drop unitree robots into an American factory and have it do any task?

  20. @simhozebsgaming

    January 5, 2026 at 7:54 pm

    Wow this is terrifying

  21. @Robocat9000

    January 5, 2026 at 8:02 pm

    The way it walks is very human-like. I remember seeing the original videos and it looked slow and clumsy. Now it moves with confidence

  22. @jvstaudach

    January 5, 2026 at 8:03 pm

    this is not sane. pull the plug.

  23. @cogoid

    January 5, 2026 at 8:04 pm

    Why is there suddenly such a deluge of marketing videos from Boston Dynamics? Has Hyundai accelerated the timeline for the IPO?

  24. @aaronalquiza9680

    January 5, 2026 at 8:14 pm

    that walk cycle is gangsta

  25. @kus4kus4

    Factory Worker : Oh man, Im in danger.

    Military general : Hmmm… Can you attach m60 vulcan on this thing? How many? Im sold…
