Hyundai Mobis announced at CES 2026 in Las Vegas that it has signed a strategic framework agreement to supply high-precision actuators for Boston Dynamics’ next-generation humanoid robot, Atlas. Under the deal, Hyundai Mobis will leverage its $26 billion U.S. investment plan to support the mass production of tens of thousands of Atlas units over the next few years, marking the company’s formal entry into the global robot components market.

This collaboration secures Hyundai Mobis’s first official customer in the robotics sector, representing a key milestone in the company’s mid- to long-term strategy of diversifying beyond automotive. Actuators account for over 60 percent of a humanoid robot’s material cost, and Hyundai Mobis aims to apply its automotive component design and large-scale manufacturing expertise to establish a cost-competitive, high-performance actuator production line.

By partnering with Boston Dynamics, Hyundai Mobis gains a stable, long-term demand partner and accelerates its development of global-standard mass production capabilities. Boston Dynamics values Hyundai Mobis’s reliability-based evaluation systems and automotive cost structures. Hyundai Mobis plans to build a dedicated actuator factory tied to its North American robotics production hub—projected to have an annual capacity of 30,000 units—positioning both companies to achieve early economies of scale in the emerging robotics components industry.
