Finally the last version of Atlas released. It is designed to operate outdoors and inside buildings. It is electrically powered and hydraulically actuated and specialized for mobile manipulation. It uses sensors in its body and legs to balance and LIDAR and stereo sensors in its head to avoid obstacles, assess the terrain, help with navigation and manipulate objects. This version of Atlas is about 5' 9" tall (about a head shorter than the DRC Atlas) and weighs 180 lbs.
