Hyundai Motor Group is intensifying efforts to mass-produce its Atlas humanoid robot, particularly at its Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) in Georgia, USA. The company has created a new division called 'Software Defined Factory' (SDF) to integrate AI into manufacturing processes, aiming for a comprehensive automation system that enhances production, quality management, and logistics. Alpesh Patel has been appointed to lead this initiative, leveraging his experience in digital manufacturing systems. Hyundai plans to produce 30,000 Atlas robots annually by 2028, with the first units expected to assist in parts sequencing at the Georgia facility. The company is also establishing a Robotics Parts Procurement Office to streamline sourcing for essential robot components. Georgia's HMGMA is seen as an ideal location for testing and deploying these robots due to its existing smart factory operations, which include over 1,000 robots and 1,700 workers. This strategic move reflects Hyundai's commitment to developing AI-driven manufacturing systems and a robust robotics supply chain.
