The company designed the robot as part of a multi-year innovation program and built it together with Calvary Robotics and other partners.

“Atlas will complement our skilled workforce, keeping them safe and performing heavy work, the installation and securing of solar modules, while adding new high-tech jobs,” AES said in a press release. They also launched a video, see below:

AES Also Invested in Ecoppia Solar Robots to Automate Cleaning of Solar Panels

In addition to this brand new solar robot, AES also invested in Ecoppia solar robots to automate the cleaning of photovoltaic panels, in 5B and its MAVERICK technology for plug-and-play solar farm installation, and in the world’s first solar storage and battery solutions coupled to DC, providing dispatchable power.

The work AES is doing to repurpose solar energy is helping organizations achieve their clean energy goals, accelerating the zero-emissions future of Carbon.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Iran declared that the security of the Persian Gulf will be for everyone or for no one — and threatened to attack ports of neighboring countries after the U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.

Chinese automaker patents a toilet hidden inside the car seat that can be activated by voice command and promises to meet the needs of those stuck in traffic for hours or traveling long distances.

The BRICS Bank releases an additional 2.5 billion reais for Brazil, raising the total invested in the country to 7 billion dollars since 2015 in railways, renewable energy, sanitation, and urban mobility.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

A neighboring country of Brazil starts to profit billions from oil after the war in Iran, sees its economy grow at an unusual pace, and enters a silent dilemma that few countries can resolve without a crisis.

Goodbye classic tiles: solar tiles lead a sustainable European trend that transforms rooftops into sources of clean energy, reduces electricity costs, and redefines the future of modern construction on a global scale.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.
