The carmaker said Tuesday the Robotics Metaplant Application Center (RMAC) has started operations at Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) in the state of Georgia in the United States. The facility will serve as a major testbed where Atlas is trained in an environment designed to replicate actual automotive production sites before the robots are deployed on factory floors. Atlas is being trained to perform a range of manufacturing-related tasks, including preparing materials for logistics operations and sorting automotive parts according to their assembly sequence. The training is intended to help the humanoid robot handle increasingly sophisticated work in real-world production environments. The facility is expected to play a key role in Hyundai Motor Group’s plan to deploy about 25,000 Atlas robots across its Hyundai Motor and Kia producti", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hyundai-motor-group-opens-robot-training-center-in-us", "canonical_source": "https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/business/companies/20260922/hyundai-motor-group-opens-robot-training-center-in-us?utm_source=rss", "published_at": "2026-09-22 05:17:03+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-22 05:22:25.619371+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["robotics", "artificial-intelligence", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Hyundai Motor Group", "Boston Dynamics", "Atlas", "Robotics Metaplant Application Center", "Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America", "Hyundai Motor", "Kia", "Georgia"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hyundai-motor-group-opens-robot-training-center-in-us", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hyundai-motor-group-opens-robot-training-center-in-us.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hyundai-motor-group-opens-robot-training-center-in-us.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hyundai-motor-group-opens-robot-training-center-in-us.jsonld"}}
