Before Backflipping Humanoids There Were... Wall Climbing Gecko Robots? 🦎😯🤖

Before Atlas was doing backflips, @BostonDynamics was building four‑legged pack mules and six‑legged gecko‑bots that could climb walls — the early experiments that taught them how robots balance, react, and move in the real world.

Two decades later, that research is shaping a future where humanoids help fill the most physically demanding labor gaps. And yes — Atlas could be on factory floors by 2028.

Director of Product for Humanoids, Aya Durbin, breaks down the journey on the latest Automated Pod.
