Hyundai to Take Full Control of Boston Dynamics

Hyundai is moving to acquire SoftBank’s remaining 9.65% stake in Boston Dynamics, aiming for full ownership of the robotics firm. The deal, valued at approximately $325 million, will integrate Boston Dynamics’ physical AI expertise directly into Hyundai’s manufacturing chain.

Hyundai plans to deploy the Atlas humanoid robot at its Georgia plant by 2028, targeting an annual production capacity of 30,000 units for logistics, welding, and assembly tasks by 2030.
