Samsung hosts Hyundai Motor Group executives to widen ties into robotics and physical AI
Samsung Electronics says 177 people attended the first event of its kind at its Yongin training centre; no specific joint projects were announced.
Why it matters
Hyundai owns Boston Dynamics, and Samsung SDI has been reported as an initial battery supplier for the Atlas humanoid, so a broader Samsung–Hyundai tie-up matters for Korea's robotics supply chain. Samsung's chip chief Jun Young-hyun said the groups' capabilities from components to finished products could create new value; KED Global describes the meeting as a broader alliance on physical AI. Nothing binding was announced. Watch for joint robotics, battery or chip agreements.
