Robotics firm Boston Dynamics recently made an announcement: it is set to forge a strategic partnership with DeepMind, an artificial intelligence research entity under the umbrella of Google. The aim is to jointly expedite the development of a new - generation humanoid robot named Atlas, so that it can exhibit more natural behaviors during human - robot interactions.

This collaborative effort was unveiled at Hyundai Motor Group's press conference during the International Consumer Electronics Show 2026 (CES 2026). It's worth noting that Boston Dynamics is currently under the control of Hyundai Motor Group. In English, when introducing such a business - related cooperation, using "forge a partnership" can better convey the sense of actively building a cooperative relationship. Also, adding "named" before "Atlas" makes the introduction of the robot model clearer and more in line with English expression habits. And separating the information about the press - conference announcement into two sentences improves the readability of the text.
