Industrial Applications
Editorial: a documented manipulation/development platform for supervised research and guarded assembly pilots. Rated arm load and public controls improve technical assessment; mass, charging configuration and exact safety/production-duty evidence still require resolution.
This editorial assessment concerns industrial buyer readiness. It is not an independent performance test.

Manipulation and Perception
Two 7 DOF arms, 600 mm reach EX end effector, 3.5 kg RATED payload per arm, 5 kg maximum brochure value with unspecified full-reach duty.±0.05 mm is arm repeatability, not mobile task accuracy.29 body joints + two 6 DOF hands=41; brochure prose 12 DOF hands is combined.1.5 m/s endpoint and walking limit are separate claims.
Maker brochure: i5 base, i9(24 core/32 thread)+16 GB 256-bitGDDR 6 GPU option/module; 41.15 TFLOPS FP32 and 1500 TOPS marketing number use different precision/definitions. D455 depth +60 FPS FHD stereo, Robosense Airy 3 DLiDAR, 2 wrist+2 waistRGBD, 360° mic/two 5 W speakers. Delivered BOM and software options govern.
SDK and Integration
Native C++ RPC/CycloneDDS and public ROS2/Gazebo workspace now located; not simply an unspecified future SDK. Optional Embodied AI Set advertises URDF/training/data tools. Exact Max firmware/controller mapping and licences remain unverified.
| API type | C++ RPC and CycloneDDS joint/state interfaces; edition/firmware entitlement required |
|---|---|
| Languages | C++ native examples; Python ROS2 control examples |
| ROS support | Public ROS2 Foxy/Ubuntu 20.04 and Humble/22.04 workspace; exact sales-SKU mapping unverified |
| Simulation | Gazebo/ros 2_control, URDF, RViz; P2 legged and W-P3 wheeled examples; delivered-model fidelity unverified |
| Offline operation | Local Ethernet RPC/DDS documented; full autonomy, model licence and update egress require verification |
| Teleoperation | VR/MR full-body or segmented motion capture and data toolchain advertised as configuration-dependent options. |
| Software updates | Public source revisions; robot firmware signing, rollback and maintenance term unverified |
| Documentation | Open documentation |
| Code examples | Open repository |
| Integration constraints | Public SDK includes libraries and samples. Root licence not recovered; public access is not unrestricted reuse permission. Internal P2/P3 and 22 DOF simulation labels do not identify every retail configuration. |
Native build Ubuntu 20.04/GCC 9.4; high-level FSM/velocity, low-level debug-state joint/hand/IMU/BMS data and recording. Examples can move hardware. No blanket licence or ATOM-to-LUMO compatibility asserted.
Safety Notes
September 4, 2025 ATOM quick-start requires protective hoisting for startup, debugging and shutdown. Remote LB+A soft stop enters damping and can let the robot fall; hard wireless stop cuts joint/control power and requires restart. This describes operating behaviour, not a certified safety integrity level. Independent fall zone, load stability, stop latency and application safeguards require assessment.
Compliance and Certificates

|---|---|
| Price range | Quote-based or unverified |
| Lead time | Needs verification |
| Availability regions | China / international supplier inquiry; exact SKU by contract |
| Spare parts | No exact EU stock or repair SLA verified; request battery, drive, hand, sensor/controller spares and supported lifetime. |
| Warranty | One year in September manual and December Max brochure; exact battery/hand exclusions and transport/labour scope unverified. Max onsite training listed available; no universal EU service SLA. |
| Configuration and pricing basis | Dated configuration quote required |
| Distributors and service | German office is a commercial contact; exact humanoid dealer appointment and repair scope unverified. |
