Hyundai Motor Group said it plans to deploy over 25,000 Atlas humanoids across Hyundai and Kia plants and build capacity for 30,000 robots per year by 2028, plus 300,000+ actuators annually in the US. Georgia plants start first: Metaplant America in 2028, Kia's Georgia facility in 2029.

• Deploy 25,000+ Atlas humanoids across Hyundai and Kia manufacturing; reach 30,000 units/year production capacity by 2028.
• US actuator production: 300,000+ units annually to supply the humanoid systems; actuators serve as robot joints and muscles.
• Timeline: Metaplant America (Georgia) deploys 2028; Kia's Georgia plant follows 2029.
• Deployment at scale demonstrates confidence in Boston Dynamics Atlas for repetitive manufacturing work.
