Founded
1992Boston Dynamics builds advanced mobile and humanoid robots for industrial automation.
Demand for autonomous mobile robots is growing across manufacturing, logistics, and energy as operators seek to automate inspections and material handling. Boston Dynamics addresses this market with legged and humanoid platforms designed for dynamic, unstructured industrial environments.
The company competes with both established automation vendors and newer humanoid-robot entrants, and its position depends on converting research expertise into scalable enterprise deployments with reliable fleet-management software.
Boston Dynamics designs robots that combine locomotion, perception, and manipulation for industrial environments. Its platforms are deployed for autonomous inspection, remote investigation, and material handling in manufacturing, energy, construction, and logistics facilities.
The company leverages decades of legged-robotics research to deliver machines that can navigate stairs, ramps, and uneven terrain, carry useful payloads, and operate in hazardous conditions without direct human control.
Boston Dynamics sells Spot, Atlas, and Stretch robot platforms to enterprise and government customers, typically through direct sales and service packages that include hardware, software, training, and support. Pricing varies by configuration, payload, and deployment scale.
The company also offers fleet-management software such as Orbit, which is positioned as a subscription or enterprise license tied to deployed robot units, aligning revenue with long-term customer operations rather than one-time hardware transactions.
