Boston Dynamics sheds its R&D skin at CES 2026, unveiling a production version of the all-electric Atlas designed for "automotive volumes." With 56 degrees of freedom, an "alien" morphology, and a deep Google DeepMind partnership, the company is finally moving from viral videos to the assembly line.

The long-awaited "January Update" is official: Hyundai Motor Group will unveil its roadmap for mass robot deployment and bring the electric Atlas to the public stage for the first time in Las Vegas.

Amidst a flurry of competitor milestones, Boston Dynamics executives hint at a major shift toward mass production and enterprise deployment for the Atlas humanoid early next year.

The government-led manufacturing alliance, comprising Samsung, Hyundai, and LG, aims for humanoid mass production by 2029 through a new R&D partnership with the country’s top university.

Hyundai Motor Group is committing KRW 50.5 trillion to future technologies, including plans for a new AI data center, a "Physical AI Application Center," and a dedicated robotics manufacturing and foundry facility.
