🚨 BREAKING: Hyundai Motor Company is buying SoftBank's remaining 9.65% stake in Boston Dynamics for $325 million.
Reported by Reuters. A board meeting is expected on June 22nd to approve the purchase.
@BostonDynamics has had one of the most extraordinary journeys of any company in the industry:
→ Founded in 1992 as a spin-off from MIT
→ Acquired by Google in 2013
→ Sold to SoftBank in 2017
→ Majority stake acquired by Hyundai in 2021
→ Now becoming a 100% Hyundai company in 2026
Hyundai is not a passive financial investor. It is one of the world's largest manufacturers: cars, ships, industrial equipment.
Boston Dynamics inside a fully committed Hyundai gives Spot and Atlas access to real manufacturing environments, real supply chains and real deployment at scale.
This could be the moment Boston Dynamics stops being the world's most impressive robotics demo company and starts becoming a genuine industrial force.
The robots are coming. And they now have a very serious parent.

During a test sparring session ahead of URKL, EngineAI’s humanoid robot fighting league, one T800 knocked the head off another T800.
The headless robot tried to keep fighting, but its balance and orientation quickly fell apart.

We’ve been dancing with Spot for years but this kind of thing just doesn’t work with quadrupeds. But it does with humanoids!
Excited for a future with robot dance-offs.

We just wrapped what began as an 8-hour challenge - and it ran for 200 hours without a failure
Shoutout to the team for the hardcore engineering behind F.03 and the robust Helix models powering it

Voice‑driven, real‑time arbitrary action generation😁
Using external voice commands, G1 is directly controlled to generate a wide range of actions in real time.
This video was recorded in a single take, with on‑site audio recording.
Because the actions are autonomously generated by AI in real time, there may be slight latency, and the smoothness of the movements may be somewhat reduced.

Nobody is paying enough attention to what is happening at Figure AI right now.
Its humanoid robots are now working 70 hours straight livestream, sorting packages at around 2.6 seconds each.
That is reportedly FASTER than the average human worker (3secs).
They have now sorted over 88,000 packages with no human assistance, no teleoperation, and no cloud.
The company says it will NOT STOP the stream until a robot physically breaks.
The labor market is about to be redefined.
