Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Hyundai and Boston Dynamics on Monday unveiled a new version of its humanoid robot that it has been testing at a factory in Georgia and may be the future of manufacturing.

The 5-foot, 9-inch, 200-pound Atlas humanoid robot was shown off publicly for the first time Monday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Hyundai said that it plans to deploy the robots widespread at its factories by 2028 and slowly ramp up the complexity of tasks they can do.

"Through collaboration between Boston Dynamics -- home to the world's most advanced robots technology -- and global AI leaders, Hyundai Motor Group will integrate cutting-edge AI robotics across all HMG manufacturing sites worldwide, and subsequently expand into logistics, energy, construction and facility management sectors," Hyundai said in a press release.
