Boston Dynamics and Gravity Industries Team up to Make Robots Fly

Collaboration Opens the Skies to a New Era in Humanoid Robots

Waltham, MA - April 1, 2024 - Today Boston Dynamics, the global leader in mobile robotics, announced a new collaboration with Gravity Industries, the company that designs, builds and flies the trailblazing personal VTOL aviation systems, Jet Suits. The two companies aim to pioneer a new type of robotic exploration by giving Boston Dynamics' famed humanoid robot, Atlas, the ability to fly. The two teams recently began commencing test flights over Boston Harbor.

The companies envision a surprisingly wide range of future applications for the flying robot, including wind turbine inspection and repair, wildfire monitoring and emergency support, skyscraper window washing, lost balloon rescues, and in-air traffic controllers and flight maintenance for commercial airliners.

“With so much global interest in new applications for quadrupeds and humanoids, we decided it was time to push the envelope,” explained Marc Theermann, Chief Strategy Officer for Boston Dynamics. “Walking on the ground almost seems easy these days, so we’re taking our innovation to the skies.”

The earliest test case will focus on the flying robot’s aerial agility compared to that of a human. As part of the research and development phase, Atlas will begin participating in Gravity’s new racing series alongside human athletes. Competitors will command 1500bhp Jet Suits in the nail-biting pursuit of the race podium at iconic waterfront locations around the world.

“We’re making science fiction a reality,” said Richard Browning, CEO of Gravity. “This is the closest most of us will ever come to feeling like a superhero, and we can’t wait to see all the places Atlas will be flying in the next few years.”
