Veteran robot maker serving inspection, logistics and manufacturing with Spot, Stretch and Atlas
Boston Dynamics, an MIT spin-off founded in 1992, is part of Hyundai Motor Group. Spot is used worldwide for industrial inspection, and DHL has agreed to deploy over 1,000 more Stretch unloading robots. In January 2026 it unveiled the production electric Atlas humanoid; all 2026 Atlas deployments are committed to Hyundai and Google DeepMind.

Atlas ships to Hyundai's Robotics Metaplant Application Center (RMAC) in Georgia from 2026, entering parts sequencing from 2028 and component assembly by 2030.
Having deployed Stretch in North America in 2023, DHL signed an MoU in May 2025 for over 1,000 more units, expanding from unloading to case picking.
Kajima adopted Spot when it went on sale in Japan in 2020, using it for patrols and data capture on construction sites.
Distributor Tohoku Enterprise demonstrated factory patrol inspection with Spot at a trade show.
