Hyundai Group robotics and mobility expansion

Overview

Hyundai Mobis and Hyundai Motor Group are actively expanding their involvement in the robotics and advanced mobility sectors. Hyundai Mobis is diversifying its portfolio by moving from automotive components into humanoid robotics and electrification. The company has begun producing prototype actuators for Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robot and plans to increase its robotics workforce and R&D investment to strengthen its competitiveness in electronic components and software defined vehicles.

Simultaneously, Hyundai Motor Group is fostering a domestic robotics ecosystem through its MobED mobile robot platform. By establishing the MobED Alliance, the group is collaborating with various South Korean companies to provide a stable driving platform that allows partners to focus on specialized robotic services and modules. This initiative aims to support small and medium-sized robotics firms by reducing development costs and time.

At the 2026 RoboWorld exhibition, the group demonstrated the practical applications of the MobED platform through partnerships with Gaon Robotics, Wego Robotics, and Roas. The MobED platform utilizes in-wheel motors and a Drive-and-Lift module to maintain stability on uneven terrain or when encountering 20cm obstacles. Demonstrations included Gaon Robotics’ patrol, delivery, and recycling robots, Wego Robotics’ dual-arm mobile manipulator, and Roas’s showcase of the platform’s 360-degree rotation and terrain adaptability.
