Hyundai Mobis to start Atlas actuator prototypes in November 2026, with supply targeted for 2028
The parts maker told investors on Oct 30, 2026 that prototype joint actuators for Boston Dynamics' Atlas begin this month at a Korean research site.
Hyundai Mobis said on Oct 30, 2026, with its third-quarter results, that it will start prototype production of actuators for Boston Dynamics' Atlas humanoid robot in November 2026. Actuators are the parts that drive a robot's joints.
Press reports of the disclosure say the prototypes will be built at the Uiwang Research Institute in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Hyundai Mobis plans to check performance and reliability with the customer before an expected supply date of 2028.
The company also said it plans a dedicated organization to widen its robot parts business, and that annual research spending is expected to pass 2 trillion won for the first time by the end of 2026.
This is a prototype run at a research site. The reports give no production volume and no price. We could not reach the company's own release, so the details above rest on two press reports of the earnings disclosure.
