Hyundai Motor completes full acquisition of Boston Dynamics by buying SoftBank's remaining 10% stake for approximately $335 million, with plans to deploy the Atlas humanoid robot at its Georgia manufacturing plant starting 2028, initially for parts sequencing and expanding to assembly tasks by 2030.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you supply parts sequencing or assembly automation to automotive OEMs, your customer just bought a robot company and committed to replacing those services at scale by 2028. The window to lock in contracts before Atlas lands in Georgia is now closing.
