Hyundai considers acquiring Boston Dynamics

According to media reports, Hyundai wants to take over Boston Dynamics.

The currently most interesting robots currently come from Boston Dynamics. The company, once part of Google, is now owned by SoftBank. But that could change soon.

According to US media reports, the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai is considering taking over the company. Among the highlights are the Robo-Hound Spot and the Bipod Atlas.

That Hyundai is going in this direction is less surprising. Two years ago, the company already announced that it was heading in this direction. They are also very committed to the development of autonomous driving. In this field the joint venture Motional was founded with the company Aptiv.
