CES 2026 Read and watch our complete CES coverage here Updated less than 1 hour ago Boston Dynamics is showcasing its remarkable Atlas humanoid robot at CES 2026 in Las Vegas this week, and footage of the autonomous machine at an unveiling event may cause your jaw to head south.

For several decades, Boston Dynamics has pioneered the development of advanced robots, including humanoids and four-legged systems tested by the military as a way to carry supplies over rough terrain. The company was sold to Google in 2013 and bought by SoftBank in 2017. In 2021, Hyundai acquired a controlling stake.

Atlas is done shrugging—now he’s doing the Macarena. He can also skip, run, do cartwheels, and twist in ways no human being could even dream of doing. We’re not talking about the titan from Greek mythology who was condemned to hold up the sky for eternity.

Minutes gets a look at the first real-world test of Boston Dynamics' humanoid robot Atlas, offering a glimpse of a future coming faster than you might think.
