Hyundai Motor Group has invested millions of dollars in a U.S. robotics startup, industry sources said.
According to the robotics industry on Feb. 22, Hyundai Motor Group recently made a multimillion-dollar investment in FieldAI, a U.S. robotics software startup.
FieldAI develops AI software for robot control, with strengths in physical AI that helps robots move autonomously and carry out tasks.
Its “Field Foundation Model” (FFM) is designed to help robots detect and assess risks in real time and complete autonomous missions in complex, unpredictable environments.
FieldAI drew attention last year after raising more than $400 million from investors including Bezos Expeditions, Intel Capital and Nventures.
Hyundai Motor Group has a broad robotics lineup, including the Atlas humanoid, the four-legged robot Spot and the mobility platform MobED. Analysts say combining Hyundai’s hardware with FieldAI’s software could create significant synergy.
FieldAI has also maintained a partnership with Hyundai Motor Group robotics affiliate Boston Dynamics. FieldAI’s FFM has been installed on Boston Dynamics’ robot dog Spot and is being used at construction sites across Asia, Europe and North America.
Hyundai Motor Group plans to deploy Atlas at its HMGMA plant in Georgia around 2028 and expand its duties to parts assembly starting in 2030.
