Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics publicly demonstrated the robot called Atlas at the electronics convention on Monday in Las Vegas. The company said a product version of the robot that will help assemble cars is already in production and will be deployed by 2028 at Hyundai’s electric vehicle manufacturing facility near Savannah.

The company says Atlas will be trained to work in its auto plants, adopting the same strategy that Tesla is using to validate its "Optimus" humanoid. Hyundai says it will build 30,000 robots globally by 2028, with a big robotics plant coming to America around then.

LG has unveiled its new AI-powered household robot, LG Cloid, at CES 2026. The robot is part of the company’s vision of a home where household chores are handled entirely by intelligent machines. The robot’s “Physical AI” combines two technologies: VLM (Vision Language Model),

LG will debut its CLOiD home robot at CES 2026, highlighting its push toward intelligent home automation and a future where robots reduce daily household work.

Humanoid robots are having a moment. Amazon is testing out bipedal robots called Digit from startup Agility Robotics in its warehouses. Figure AI recently raised a $675 million megaround at a $2.6 billion valuation to develop humanoids for BMW and others.

The company is also doing fire rebuilds in Los Angeles. Currently, it is in the process of building 20 to 25 homes, including in the Palisades and Eaton wildfire zones, CEO Sasha Jokic said.

But if you shrink that robot down, give it the ambulatory capabilities of a human and bathe the whole thing in AI, Hyundai reckons it can replace the most unreliable element of the modern assembly line: the human laborer. Enter Atlas, one of those humanoid ‘bots I mentioned up top there. As it turns out, Atlas can do more than dodge a hockey stick.
