tl;dr: Hyundai is buying SoftBank's remaining 9.65% stake in Boston Dynamics for $325 million, making the robotics firm a wholly owned subsidiary. The move positions Hyundai to deploy Boston Dynamics' Atlas humanoid robot at its Georgia EV plant by 2028, starting with parts sequencing before scaling to heavier tasks by 2030, with Hyundai Mobis already producing Atlas actuators. SoftBank, meanwhile, is redirecting focus toward Roze AI, a new AI infrastructure venture targeting a $100 billion valuation. | |
