Frequently asked questions
How do Atlas (Electric) and G1 compare on price?
Atlas (Electric): ~$420,000 (enterprise estimate). Not sold openly: early deployments with select customers; Atlas training center at Hyundai Metaplant Georgia operating since Sep 2026, Hyundai plans 25,000 units. G1: $87,000. Only one of the two has a public unit price; the other publishes a range or enterprise-only terms.
Which has higher payload: Atlas (Electric) or G1?
Atlas (Electric) rates a higher payload at 30 kg vs 10 kg. Payload ratings are vendor claims and do not always include a duty cycle — peak vs sustained payload can differ significantly.
Are both Atlas (Electric) and G1 shipping to customers?
Yes. Both are commercially available as of the last review. Delivery timelines and customer geographies vary per vendor — check the manufacturer page for each.
Which is better for ROS-based development: Atlas (Electric) or G1?
Atlas (Electric) has ros2; G1 has no ROS support. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
