Boston Dynamics' all-electric Atlas is the company's current humanoid platform, positioned for industrial work after the hydraulic research Atlas was retired. Hyundai field testing is a company-stated first customer pilot; RMAC's first phase is an operating training center, not a production deployment.
Boston Dynamics says the first phase of the Robotics Metaplant Application Center (RMAC) is operational at Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America as a testbed and training center, with Atlas robots in training. Hyundai says Atlas is slated for parts-sequencing work at HMGMA starting in 2028. This is not a production-line deployment.
