Hyundai Motor Group to make Boston Dynamics wholly owned with purchase of SoftBank stake

Hyundai Motor Group is moving to make Boston Dynamics a wholly owned subsidiary by purchasing the stake currently held by SoftBank. This strategic acquisition allows Hyundai to double down on its investment in humanoid robots. By acquiring the remaining interest from SoftBank, the company secures full control over the robotics firm, integrating advanced technology into its broader automotive and robotics ecosystem to accelerate the development of next-generation automated systems and robotic solutions.
