Boston Dynamics has added a head to its Atlas humanoid robot to enable factory work alongside humans, replacing the previous research-focused version designed only for parkour and balance tests. The new head houses all cameras, computing, lights, and the controlling joint, featuring swappable modules that allow annual upgrades without changing the robot's body.
Bosch announced it will begin mass production of humanoid robots at its Bühl plant in Germany starting August 2027, manufacturing on behalf of British startup Humanoid. The Gamma robot platform is designed for industrial applications, with auto supplier Schaeffler as the first major customer planning to rent several hundred units in 2027. Humanoid, which recently closed a $152M funding round reaching a $1.35B valuation with investors including Bosch and Schaeffler, is pursuing a Robotics as a Service rental model rather than direct sales.
