NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said that there is no one better than Hyundai in the field of robotics. At a joint event in Seoul on Monday, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Hyundai Executive Chairman Chung Yisun announced deeper cooperation between their companies in the field of robot development.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang expressed his great appreciation for Hyundai’s robotics achievements and announced the intention of both corporations to expand their partnership, which is a strong confirmation of success from the main driver of the AI industry in the rapidly developing segment. The significance of this event lies in the fact that the Boston Dynamics division owned by Hyundai is actively competing with the world’s leading robot manufacturers, including Tesla, for the championship in the creation of revolutionary humanoid machines.
During his visit to South Korea on Monday, Huang noted that NVIDIA and Hyundai will strengthen their alliance to achieve new successes in the areas of transportation, manufacturing processes, and robotics. According to Bloomberg, Huang emphasized that Hyundai has been performing incredibly well in industrial manufacturing, mobility, and heavy industry, expanding on a massive scale. He added that no other organization is better positioned to capitalize on these advantages and realize this potential than Hyundai.
There have also been reports of him saying that NVIDIA and Hyundai are close to launching robotics on an industrial scale. A special point of the confrontation is that such statements may hurt Huang’s ally, Elon Musk, who has repeatedly boasted that Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimus is significantly ahead of competitors’ developments. Back in 2024, Musk claimed that this project would be the greatest product in history of any type, and he has regularly repeated this opinion since then.
As for the current state of affairs, Hyundai intends to organize mass production of humanoid robots in the state of Georgia, USA. These machines will be integrated into factory processes to work with humans to assemble cars, as Axios reported in January. The strategic plan calls for the production of 30,000 Atlas humanoid robots annually by 2028 at the huge high-tech Metaplant facility near Savannah, with their subsequent introduction to the company’s factories and warehouses around the world.
