For builders
Can you program Atlas (product version)? What Boston Dynamics publishes.
Nothing on the maker’s own pages when we looked. Access may exist for customers. No SDK, API or developer pages for Atlas on the maker's site when checked. The developer site at dev.bostondynamics.com covers Spot and its payloads and does not mention Atlas.
