Hyundai Motor Group plans to mass-produce humanoid robots in Georgia, and put them to work helping real humans build cars in the same factory. Why it matters: Hyundai, through its Boston Dynamics subsidiary,

Scientists achieve major robotics milestone as robot learns 1,000 different physical tasks in single day, potentially transforming manufacturing, healthcare and home robotics.

For several decades, Boston Dynamics has pioneered the development of advanced robots, including humanoids and four-legged systems tested by the military as a way to carry supplies over rough terrain. The company was sold to Google in 2013 and bought by SoftBank in 2017. In 2021, Hyundai acquired a controlling stake.

Agibot just released a robot dog, a factory-worker humanoid robot on wheels, a "white-collar" humanoid robot for reception-like duties, and a playful dancing robot.

Zeroth Robotics debuted at CES 2026 with five robots, but only the 15-inch M1 home humanoid has near-term timing and pricing. Preorders are expected in Q1 2026.

For a long time, tech companies have pitched pet cameras as a way to find out what your furball is up to when you’re not home. Vex, a new robot companion launched at CES this week, takes that a step further: it follows your pet around, filming as it goes, and uses AI smarts to stitch together a video from the footage.

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.

Beatbot unveiled the world's first self-emptying robot pool cleaner at CES 2026 today. This pool owner can't wait to take one home.

A ground robot evacuating a wounded Ukrainian soldier was attacked by a Russian drone. His battalion said the robot was damaged, but the soldier was protected and had no new injuries. Robots are increasingly used by Ukraine but are also targets and can put hurt troops in more danger.
