The company says Atlas will be trained to work in its auto plants, adopting the same strategy that Tesla is using to validate its "Optimus" humanoid. Hyundai says it will build 30,000 robots globally by 2028, with a big robotics plant coming to America around then.

Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics publicly demonstrated the robot called Atlas at the electronics convention on Monday in Las Vegas. The company said a product version of the robot that will help assemble cars is already in production and will be deployed by 2028 at Hyundai’s electric vehicle manufacturing facility near Savannah.

Spot, Boston Dynamics' first commercial robot, was first shown to the world in 2016 — but that didn't stop Hyundai from showing it off at CES six years later. It seems to be finding success in a few niche roles: as an inspection robot, and in some bomb disposal squads.

Jensen Huang, one of the most powerful figures in global technology, promised the world will see "some pretty amazing things" this year.
