At CES 2026, Hyundai Motor Group announced our commitment to building a Group Value Network for human-centered AI Robotics, bringing together the Group’s collective capabilities. Under our theme ‘Partnering Human Progress’, we outline our tangible plans to accelerate commercialization of human-centered AI Robotics—amplifying human potential and empowering people in both work and everyday life.
Teaming up for human progress
Hyundai Motor Group’s plan is clear: the Group will accelerate its business by leveraging its global mass-production capabilities and a robust value chain across its affiliates. Through collaboration between Boston Dynamics—home to the world’s most advanced robotics 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.
Through this, we reveal how human-centered AI Robotics can go beyond the laboratory to become an integral part of human life—and why only Hyundai Motor Group can make this vision a reality.
Partnering our Group Value Network with Boston Dynamics
Many companies develop robots, but bringing them into real-life applications involves countless trials and errors. The key differentiator of Hyundai Motor Group’s AI Robotics lies in its ability to apply and validate these technologies at scale, backed by the world’s largest manufacturing capabilities.
Hyundai Motor Group’s integrated AI Robotics value chain
Hyundai Motor Group’s manufacturing facilities are helping to develop reliable robots that are tested and trained internally. Thanks to various capabilities within the Group, we can supply parts, mass-produce robots, and provide one-stop robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS). Working with affiliates like Boston Dynamics, the Group is expanding its mass-production expertise from automotive to robotics, increasing overall value for customers.
Each of HMG’s group affiliates plays a crucial role in development and testing by bringing its own expertise:
– Hyundai Motor Company and Kia provide manufacturing infrastructure, process control and large-scale production data.
– Hyundai Mobis works closely with Boston Dynamics to develop high-performance actuators, standardizing key components and optimizing designs for manufacturability.
– Hyundai Glovis optimizes logistics and supply chain management.
By integrating all these areas of expertise, we can offer ongoing customer support after deployment, including regular software updates, hardware maintenance, repairs, and remote monitoring and control. These services enable us to oversee the process from start to finish, helping to bring AI Robotics solutions to market.
