“Why build a humanoid robot?” Boston Dynamics asks, then throws in a twist:Because the world is designed for humans, including all the best Halloween costumes.

The Grand Reveal

  • The timing? October 31 – Halloween, of course.
  • Spot vs. Atlas: Costume Edition

  • Spot, the trusty quadruped, has gotten plenty of costume fun over the years.
  • Atlas, however:
  • Finding the right outfit is as simple as spotting a Spirit store in a shuttered CVS.
  • Bottom Line

  • Humans built the world—so robots should dress in it.
  • Costumes make tech feel relatable.
  • A good outfit boosts brand buzz and reignites curiosity.
