Image prompt: Using the provided reference images, keep the authentic Sonoran Desert trail setting, midday Arizona lighting, and the brown-post ranger sign construction and typography, but replace the sign header with bold all-caps ‘ROBOTS’ and fictional trail entries like ‘Gait Calibration Loop’ and ‘Teleop Saddle’ with mileage and arrows, and add a small dust-covered quadruped robot dog standing alertly on the rocky trail just beside the sign post with saguaros and the hazy valley behind it, photorealistic and naturally integrated.

Figure 03 comes with a specialized charging stand. It anchors the robot so the motors can relax and stop using power to balance, while charging it inductively at 2 kW through the soles of its feet. Robots can do 4 to 5 hours of work after 1 hour of charging.

Atlas has just one fan, which is for the computer in the head. All the actuators are cooled through passive cooling. The cooling fins are directly integrated into the robot’s exterior, increasing the conductive surface area for better heat dissipation into the air.
