| 2026-01-04 | first-customer-delivery | Pilot at Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (Ellabell, GA): CBS 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker visited the plant in person and filmed Atlas sorting roof racks; an independent outlet, not Boston Dynamics or Hyundai, observed and photographed the physical unit on Hyundai's site.3 | — |
Notes
- 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).
- Shipped bar applied (2026-09-20): the January 2026 CBS 60 Minutes visit is an independent-party (CBS, not Boston Dynamics or Hyundai) on-site observation of a named customer (Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America, Ellabell, GA) with video/photo evidence of the physical unit performing real work. Per this site's shipped rule (named customer + image via the customer's own or an independent channel; invoice/serial/unboxing/customs are alternatives, not an added requirement), this qualifies as shipped, with 'pilot' noted since 2028 is cited as the target for full production deployment. Upgraded from demonstrated to shipped; an earlier note here required invoice/serial evidence in addition to the observation, which was too strict, and is removed.
