The session will showcase live demonstrations of advanced AI-driven robotics technologies, highlight new approaches to human–robot collaboration, and outline Hyundai Motor Group’s plans to build an integrated, group-wide AI robotics ecosystem. The company aims to demonstrate how robotics can move beyond research labs and become an integral part of everyday life and industrial operations.

A major highlight of the keynote will be the on-stage debut of Atlas. According to the group, the humanoid robot will serve as a tangible example of how its AI robotics technologies can be deployed in real-world environments, from manufacturing floors to logistics and potentially even public spaces.

Hyundai Motor Group will also present its vision for applying robotics within its software-defined factory concept. By tightly integrating robotics, AI, and software in manufacturing processes, the group aims to transform its production systems and position itself as a comprehensive provider of AI-based manufacturing and automation solutions.

Industry observers note that Hyundai’s growing investment in robotics reflects a broader shift among automakers toward becoming mobility and technology companies, with AI and automation playing a central role in future competitiveness.
