    "Height/weight conflict: several outlets covering the April 2024 unveiling (aggregator sites, not manufacturer-sourced) reported roughly 1.5 m and 89 kg for electric Atlas, while the current official bostondynamics.com/atlas page (accessed 2026-09-20) states 1.9 m and 90 kg. Because the 1.5 m figure could not be traced to a manufacturer statement, only the current official page value is recorded here as claimed; the discrepancy is flagged rather than resolved.",
    "Payload: the official page lists 50 kg instant / 30 kg sustained lift capacity; only the instant figure is recorded in the single-value `payload_kg` field per schema.",
    "Full-scale Hyundai production deployment is still ramping (Boston Dynamics/Hyundai have said full introduction to production is targeted for 2028).",
    "Demonstrated status: the Hyundai metaplant observation was of a pre-production electric Atlas prototype in fall 2025. Boston Dynamics introduced the product version in January 2026 and described fleet shipments as future. The prototype observation cannot establish customer receipt of this record’s product variant; an exact 4 January 2026 delivery date is unsupported.",
    "battery_wh, charge_time_min, actuator_torque_nm, sdk, and warranty remain omitted for lack of Atlas-specific figures. No exact first-customer-delivery event or automotive delivery sector is asserted.",
    "locomotion left out (2026-09-21): searched the manufacturer's own product/press page and its main launch coverage (The Robot Report / IEEE Spectrum / named outlet where applicable) for a literal quote naming the propulsion (\"bipedal\", \"legs\", \"walks\", \"wheeled base\", etc.); none of the pages fetched in this pass contained a checkable sentence naming it specifically for electric Atlas -- most pages describe height/DOF/speed without ever stating the locomotion type in words. Left out rather than inferred from photos or category. Revisit with a source that states it directly."
