Hyundai Motor Group says it will roll out human-like robots at a manufacturing plant in the US state of Georgia, adding to a list of companies racing to use the new technology.
The South Korean firm showed off Atlas, a humanoid robot developed by Boston Dynamics, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Monday.
The announcement follows firms that plan to deploy humanoid robots on their factory floors, including Amazon, Tesla and Chinese car making giant BYD.
Hyundai plans to deploy the robots at the same plant that was involved in a massive immigration raid in 2025 that led to arrests of hundreds of workers, including at least 300 South Korean citizens.
The Atlas humanoids will begin work in 2028 and gradually take on more tasks, said Hyundai. The firm owns a majority stake in Boston Dynamics, the technology company famous for Spot the robot dog.
