Hyundai wants “tens of thousands” for its automotive plants within years, while Boston Dynamics is reportedly producing only four Atlas robots a month.
The push follows CES claims of a new factory able to make 30,000 Atlas robots annually and comes amid reported exits of the CEO, CTO, CFO and other senior staff.
