Prince Harry joined The HALO Trust in #Ukraine 🇺🇦 today. He piloted an AI-powered drone that detects and maps explosives, and operated an R-BOT, a remotely controlled vehicle used to safely remove them – innovations that enable us to return land to communities sooner. “Nearly 30 years ago, when my mother visited Angola, deminers carried out painstaking work on their hands and knees. Today they are using drones, AI and robots,” said Prince Harry. In 2022, the Ukrainian government estimated that an area twice the size of Austria was potentially littered with mines and explosives. Since then, HALO has made real progress, with an area roughly the size of Belgium, confirmed safe, allowing families to return home and farmers to safely work their land. 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/4n7tBa9

We’ve deployed Spot® from @BostonDynamics at Copper One! Not as a standalone tool, but as part of an autonomy-first system. Integrated into MarianaOS, Spot® delivers continuous thermal, acoustic, and visual data into real-time operations. This is the shift: 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙙𝙞𝙘 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 → 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙤𝙚𝙙, 𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙤𝙧 𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙖 → 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 → 𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙨, 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩-𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡 Mining doesn’t become autonomous by automating individual tasks. It becomes autonomous when the entire operation is observable, integrated, and continuously improving. That’s the foundation we’re building at Copper One.

We teamed up with @BostonDynamics to power their robot Spot with Gemini Robotics embodied reasoning models. This means it can better understand its surroundings, identify objects and follow simple commands - like tidying up a room.

The introduction of AI Visual Inspections expanded what Spot and Orbit could tell you about your facility - now, AIVI-Learning powered by @GoogleDeepMind Gemini Robotics unlocks a whole new level of visual intelligence for your robot. Learn more: bosdyn.co/4stB97V

For an industrial robot built for the rigors of factories and power plants, tidying up a living room may seem like a light day at the office for Spot. Yet, this demonstration represents the promise of AI models in robotics. In this case, @GoogleDeepMind's visual-language model (VLM) Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 was empowering Spot with embodied reasoning.

We don’t wait for the future. We bring it forward and go for the goal. Hyundai is bringing robotics to the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

We're honored to be recognized as one of the @FastCompany Most Innovative Companies of 2026 in Robotics and Engineering. Innovation is in our DNA at Boston Dynamics. We've pushed the bounds of what robots can do and how they can impact our lives for over 30 years and we're excited to build, deploy, and scale the world's most dynamic mobile robots for years to come. We're proud to see this hard work recognized and congrats to all the #FCMostInnovative honorees!

You don't get from the research lab to customer sites overnight. As our first Atlas customers put their robots to work this year, the evolution of Atlas tells a clear story, mirroring our journey with Spot and Stretch. 🤖 Real-world impact is driven by solving problems that add value, not flash 🤖 Development take patience, persistence, and collaboration 🤖 Software and hardware go hand in hand - a useful humanoid is smart and autonomous, but also robust, service, and scalable 🤖 The humanoid form factor is a jumping off point, not a limitation bosdyn.co/47AEtGK

Boston Dynamics and @fieldai_ are collaborating to combine Spot and our world-class software stack with FieldAI’s Field Foundation Models™ for uncharted exploration, extending autonomous operations in constantly evolving spaces like construction sites. bosdyn.co/4lmCQlG

How human should a humanoid be? Our hardware and industrial design experts discuss how application requirements, safety philosophy, and modular strategy shaped Atlas. Register now to join the conversation. bosdyn.co/4aRCuP2
