Boston Dynamics is unlikely to conduct an IPO in 2027 as Hyundai Motor Group focuses on scaling production and deployment of its Atlas humanoid robots, which have yet to be deployed at scale and have generated significant losses. Hyundai aims to build a factory capable of producing 30,000 robots annually by 2028, with a public listing more likely in 2029 or 2030 after operational improvements.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Robotics, Drones & UAV.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a delay in access to public markets as Hyundai prioritises robot production and capability over an IPO. Shift your plans towards partnering with Hyundai or positioning for supply opportunities in their scaling manufacturing effort.
