Atlas (Electric) vs GR-2: which robot wins?

Boston Dynamics's Atlas (Electric) against Fourier's GR-2 — price, capability, availability, and a verdict you can act on.

	Atlas (Electric)	GR-2
EST. PRICE	Not for sale	Enterprise pricing
HEIGHT	~5′9″ / 175 cm*	~5′5″ / 175 cm*
WEIGHT	~89 kg*	~63 kg*
PAYLOAD	25 kg*	~3 kg per hand*
RUNTIME	Swappable battery	~2 hrs, swappable*
DEXTERITY	Full-rotation joints, superhuman range	12-DOF hands with tactile sensing*
AVAILABILITY	Industrial only	Industrial only
WHICHBOT SCORE	8.8 / 10	7.6 / 10
OUR TAKE	The gold standard of humanoid engineering, reborn electric. Its 360-degree joints move in ways humans cannot — and Hyundai factories get it first.	The care-focused humanoid. Born from a rehab-robotics company, GR-2 bets that the killer app is helping humans, not just lifting boxes.

WHICHBOT VERDICT

Neither robot is sold to consumers — both are commercial platforms. For businesses, Atlas (Electric) edges it on our scoring (8.8 vs 7.6), but the right answer depends on your workflow: payload, shift length, and integration support matter more than headline specs.

CHOOSE THE ATLAS (ELECTRIC) IF…

Watching where the engineering ceiling is — and where factory humanoids are headed.
Decade-plus of world-leading locomotion research behind it
All-electric redesign with beyond-human joint range

CHOOSE THE GR-2 IF…

Healthcare innovators and labs exploring robots that work with people, not around them.
Unique healthcare/rehabilitation pedigree and focus
Refined dexterous hands with tactile sensing

Frequently asked

Which is better, the Atlas (Electric) or the GR-2?

It depends on your goal. Watching where the engineering ceiling is — and where factory humanoids are headed. By contrast: Healthcare innovators and labs exploring robots that work with people, not around them. Our scores: Atlas (Electric) 8.8/10, GR-2 7.6/10.

How do the prices compare: Atlas (Electric) vs GR-2?

Atlas (Electric): Not for sale. GR-2: Enterprise pricing. Figures compiled from public sources as of July 2026; service and lease pricing is quoted per project.

Can I get either of them today?

Atlas (Electric): Industrial only — The all-electric Atlas is being deployed into Hyundai Motor Group factories, with commercial industrial availability expected to follow. No consumer path has been announced. GR-2: Industrial only — Shipping to research institutions and pilot partners, with a distinctive focus: Fourier’s rehabilitation-robotics roots point GR-2 toward healthcare and human-care roles.
