Startupfortune: Hyundai is moving to take 100% of Boston Dynamics by buying SoftBank's remaining 9.65% stake for $325M
Should be great for Atlas as, Hyundai has the cleanest humanoid robotics trial path because the first customer is inside the company.
Atlas is built for industrial work such as parts sequencing, with Hyundai planning deployment at its Georgia Metaplant by 2028 and broader component assembly by 2030.
SoftBank's exit looks less like quitting robotics and more like shifting capital toward bigger AI infrastructure bets.
