May 25 (Asia Today) -- Hyundai Motor Group is accelerating plans to mass-produce humanoid robot Atlas and deploy it at manufacturing sites, creating new software-defined factory and robotics parts organizations as it pushes to build AI-driven future factories.
Industry officials say the leading candidate for Atlas mass production is the company's Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America, or HMGMA, in the U.S. state of Georgia.
Analysts say Hyundai's strategy goes beyond simply introducing robots into factories and instead aims to simultaneously establish AI-based manufacturing systems and a dedicated robotics supply chain.
According to industry sources Sunday, Hyundai Motor Group recently created a new "Software Defined Factory," or SDF, division and appointed Alpesh Patel to lead the effort.
