Hyundai plans to set up a manufacturing system to build thousands of robots by 2028, leaning on its majority stake in Boston Dynamics to compete in the global rush to mass-produce AI-powered robots. It's an impressive pitch that puts Tesla right in its sights.

Chinese robotics firm Fourier made its US debut at CES 2036 with GR-3, its first full-size “Care-bot,” showcasing the next frontier of human-robot interaction. The humanoid robot combines advanced perception, intuitive intelligence, and approachable design, offering visitors an engaging, hands-on experience.

The company says Atlas will be trained to work in its auto plants, adopting the same strategy that Tesla is using to validate its "Optimus" humanoid. Hyundai says it will build 30,000 robots globally by 2028, with a big robotics plant coming to America around then.
