Atlas Can Lift More Than Half Its Own Body Weight! Boston Dynamics’ Atlas humanoid robot doesn’t just lift a fridge by sight it uses physical feedback to sense the load and adjust its movements. The team trained Atlas in simulation, where multiple virtual versions practiced lifting fridges with different weights, positions, and grip conditions. This helped the real robot adapt to unpredictable loads. Although Atlas was trained for loads of 50–70 pounds, it successfully moved a fridge loaded with more than 100 pounds of objects during testing. At 198 pounds, Atlas demonstrated impressive strength, coordination, and adaptability. The future of humanoid robotics is getting stronger!
