Atlas, the humanoid robot developed by Boston Dynamics under Hyundai Motor Group, has successfully executed complex maneuvers—including a full 360-degree mid-air spinning jump—after being fitted with wheeled feet. This wheeled iteration of Atlas serves as a research platform designed to push the boundaries of motor performance and whole-body control technology. At its core, the technology combines AI-driven reinforcement learning with Sim-to-Real transfer. Hyundai Motor Group intends to leverage the underlying control technology to boost the performance of Atlas's standard bipedal form, with plans to subsequently develop adaptive control capabilities. Hyundai Mobis is set to begin prototype production of Atlas actuators this month, aiming to supply them by 2028. The group plans to deploy Atlas at its new U.S. factory in 2028 for parts sequencing tasks, and to expand its application to assembly processes by 2030.
