Hyundai Motor to fully acquire Boston Dynamics, plans humanoid robot…

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. 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.
