Boston Dynamics is the global leader in developing and deploying highly mobile robots capable of tackling industry's toughest challenges.
Our robots are equipped with advanced mobility, dexterity, and intelligence, enabling automation in unstructured or hard-to-traverse spaces, from industrial plants and construction sites to distribution centers and warehouses.
Boston Dynamics’ mission is to imagine and create exceptional robots that enrich people’s lives. We see this work as the next step in the evolution of machines that reduce the danger, repetition, and physically difficult aspects of work.
We are driven to create robots that will fit seamlessly into our lives and expand our potential. Boston Dynamics has just begun to scratch the surface of what robots can do, and we are excited to be building the future for today, tomorrow, and beyond.
We set out to build a robot that could go where people go.
The commonly referenced “dull, dirty, and dangerous” tasks of robotics don’t always occur on a neatly organized factory floor. They pop up in the natural world and human-built environments. Our designs are ultimately motivated by functionality—to move and balance dynamically in unstructured, unknown, or antagonistic terrain.
Today, we combine an established legacy, roots in R&D, and an entrepreneurial mindset to create the foundation for our commercial organization.
Spot, our quadruped robot, is unlocking digital transformation for hundreds of customers. Stretch, a versatile case handling robot, is automating back-breaking warehouse tasks. And Atlas, the world's most dynamic humanoid robot, is pushing the boundaries of robotics R&D and taking the first steps toward a true general purpose robot.
