Hyundai Deploys Boston Dynamics' Atlas Robots in US Factory
2025-05-06
Hyundai Motor Group is deploying Boston Dynamics' Atlas humanoid robots at its Metaplant America facility in Georgia to boost factory automation. This marks a significant step in Hyundai's partnership with Boston Dynamics to scale robotic manufacturing and design. The move is part of Hyundai's $21 billion US investment plan aimed at increasing efficiency and lowering costs, partly in response to tariffs. Despite a global sales dip last year, Hyundai's US sales rose 4% to 1.9 million units. Hyundai plans to produce 300,000 electric and hybrid vehicles annually at the facility, eventually scaling up to 500,000.
