Hyundai Mobis has announced a strategic collaboration with Boston Dynamics at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, focusing on supplying actuators for the Atlas humanoid robot. This partnership marks Hyundai Mobis's entry into the robotics components market, aligning with its $26 billion U.S. investment plan to deploy tens of thousands of robots in the coming years.
The collaboration is significant as it secures Hyundai Mobis's first official customer in the robotics sector, enhancing its business portfolio beyond automotive. Actuators, which constitute over 60% of humanoid robots' material costs, are critical for physical movement, and this partnership is expected to accelerate mass production plans for Atlas, benefiting both companies.
Looking ahead, Hyundai Mobis aims to establish a large-scale actuator manufacturing system and strengthen its design capabilities. The collaboration is poised to position both Hyundai Mobis and Boston Dynamics as leaders in the emerging robotics components industry, particularly as demand for robot manufacturing components continues to grow. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
