आंकड़ों में
Hyundai Motor Group has taken full control of robotics company Boston Dynamics by purchasing SoftBank's remaining 10 percent stake. Building on its 80 percent stake held since 2021, the company aims to strengthen its high-tech asset structure and create strategic flexibility for a potential initial public offering (IPO) with this move.
However, this acquisition caused disappointment among investors on the Seoul Stock Exchange and led to heavy selling pressure on the shares. The transaction is estimated to be worth approximately 300 million euros (500 billion won), and Boston Dynamics' market value is believed to have reached five trillion won. Following the news breaking to the press, Hyundai shares lost more than 30 percent of their value.
The company plans to use Atlas humanoid robots at its factory in the US state of Georgia starting in 2028. The goal is to integrate these robots into automotive assembly processes by 2030. This automation strategy is being protested by the Hyundai union, which has concerns about job security, and the workers decided to begin partial strikes in the second half of July.
