AI model
The software that decides what the robot does.
Gemini RoboticsProduction AtlasConfirmed
Google DeepMind's family of AI models that help robots understand what they see, follow instructions and plan movements. Boston Dynamics and Google DeepMind are working together to put Google's Gemini Robotics AI models into the new Atlas. This is joint research that started in 2026, so it may not be what controls every robot in use today.

Atlas Large Behavior Model2025 research versionConfirmed
One AI model, built with Toyota Research Institute, that looks through the robot's cameras, reads an instruction and moves the whole body. Boston Dynamics and Toyota Research Institute built a single AI model that looks through Atlas's cameras, reads a typed instruction and moves the whole robot, 30 times a second. It learned from recordings of people steering the robot.

GR00T2025 research versionLikely
Nvidia's AI model for humanoid robots. Boston Dynamics says Atlas was an early user of Nvidia's GR00T robot AI platform. It does not say a GR00T model drives the robot.
Why not confirmed. The maker names the GR00T platform, but it does not say that a GR00T model controls Atlas. The page is also from March 2025, before the production version.

Senses
How the robot sees and hears the world.
Onboard camerasProduction AtlasConfirmed
Cameras built into the robot. Cameras give Atlas a view all the way around itself, so it can see people approaching. The maker does not name the camera models.

Stereo camera pairs2025 research versionConfirmed
Cameras in pairs, like two eyes, so the robot can judge distance. Atlas has a pair of stereo cameras in its head that handle very bright and very dark scenes well. Its AI model uses them to judge depth and see what it is handling.

Training
How the robot was taught.
Teleoperated demonstrationsConfirmed
People drive the robot remotely, and the recordings become its lessons. People wearing VR headsets steer Atlas through tasks, and those recordings are used to teach its AI. VR remote control is also a standard way to operate the production robot.
