    They also have one inserter called Stretch for sales as well. Atlas is a research platform, all that knowledge and algorithms and tech they got from doing Atlas is applied onto their other robot. The new Atlas seems to move closer to become an actual product too.

    They used to have an inserter on two wheel called Ostrich but they deem that sort of robot, while able to move fast, is a pain and impractical when their job is simply loading and unloading stuff, as most of the time spend on turning and repositioning. So they scrap that and turn into Stretch.

    Boston Dynamics change and adapt their robot and build to solve specific issue, while Musky Melon insist their robot has to be a two legged humanoid, slow moving robot with precise hand function.
