Boston Dynamics builds a complete Atlas robot in one day

Boston Dynamics now machines, assembles and repairs Atlas in a single Waltham facility, cutting build time to roughly one day per robot. A year ago the same process took several days; the company targets one hour by 2027 and minutes in later years.

• Full Atlas build now takes about one day, down from several days a year ago
• Target is one hour per robot by 2027 and minutes in the years after
• Hard parts like gear cutting are made in-house due to tight tolerances
• Robotic arms handle bolting while humans verify fit and function
