'We have not seen the limits of what Atlas can do': Boston Dynamics shows off Atlas robot's impressive fridge-lifting and drink delivery capabilities — it's only 'limited by our imagination'

  • Boston Dynamics Atlas can deliver a drink
  • It also delivers the refrigerator because it can lift up to 110 lbs.
  • We also get a glimpse into how they're training the Atlas Product humanoid robots

Atlas delivers a drink in much the same way The Hulk might do it: forget the can, bring the refrigerator. In a new video demo, we’re finally getting a good look at what the all-new Atlas Product humanoid robot can do, and it’s eye-opening, to be sure.

When I last saw the Atlas Product at CES 2026, it stood stiffly while the all-electric Atlas Prototype moved boxes and folded itself up almost accordion-style. The updated Product, though, has even more impressive moves, especially since no part of its body appears limited by typical human-level flexibility.
