Hyundai Motor Group is expanding its 'dark factory' strategy into logistics, planning to deploy Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot in warehouses by 2028. Atlas will perform precise tasks, such as picking and decanting, as part of a broader logistics automation strategy.

Boston Dynamics' 'Stretch' has already automated box-level processing and is processing 500,000 boxes weekly. The logistics automation sector is transitioning to flexible automation driven by AI and humanoid robots.

Hyundai Glovis will present logistics technologies at '2026 Smart Factory & Automation World'. Atlas is currently being tested for parts sequencing at Hyundai's facility in Georgia, USA.
