Hyundai completes Boston Dynamics takeover, setting Atlas on a factory-floor path

Hyundai Motor Group will pay $325 million to buy SoftBank's remaining 9.65% stake in Boston Dynamics, gaining full ownership and signaling a shift from demos to production. Atlas is slated to begin in Hyundai's Georgia Metaplant by 2028 with sequencing tasks first, expanding to heavier automation by 2030, aided by Hyundai Mobis components; SoftBank pivots toward AI infrastructure via Roze AI, while Boston Dynamics becomes a manufacturing platform within Hyundai's ecosystem.
