Optimus Gen 3
NVIDIA Isaac (ROS2) but limited public access. Mostly enterprise.
Atlas (Electric): ~$420,000 (enterprise estimate). Optimus Gen 3: ~$20,000–$25,000 target (consumer).
Atlas (Electric) rates a higher payload at 50 kg vs 25 kg. Payload ratings are vendor claims and do not always include a duty cycle — peak vs sustained payload can differ significantly.
Atlas (Electric) has ros2; Optimus Gen 3 has no ROS support. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
Atlas (Electric) ships with LiDAR for depth sensing; Optimus Gen 3 does not. LiDAR adds cost and complexity but improves obstacle detection in low-light or low-contrast environments.
