Jan. 6 (UPI) —<\/span> South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor said the company would use robotics in the “metaverse,” or the virtual world.<\/p>\n The conglomerate disclosed the plan during its Tuesday presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show 2022 in Las Vegas.\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n Hyundai dubbed the vision as “meta-mobility,” which it said is designed to make robots act as a medium between the real world and virtual spaces so that changes in the metaverse are reflected in reality.<\/p>\n The company said the distinctions between future mobilities would be blurred thanks to robotics technology, and as a result, vehicles and urban air mobility devices will serve as smart devices to access the metaverse platform.\n<\/p>\n “At Hyundai, we are harnessing the power of robotics to achieve great things. We envision future mobility solutions made possible by advanced robotics — even expanding our mobility solutions to meta-mobility,” Hyundai Chairman Chung Eui-sun said.<\/p>\n This vision will enable unlimited freedom of movement and progress for humanity.”<\/p>\n Over the past few years, Hyundai has bet big on robotics technology. In particular, the firm acquired U.S. robotics company Boston Dynamics in 2020 for $880 million.\n<\/p>\n The startup is famous for machines such as Spot and Atlas. The former is a four-legged robot that can trot, climb stairs, and open doors, while the latter is a humanoid robot.\n<\/p>\n Boston Dynamics founder and Chairman Mark Raibert also attended the presentation and said he envisioned a future in which people and robots work side by side.<\/p>\n “We see a future where robots become more than just task-oriented tools, more than just machines,” Raibert said. “We believe in a future where robots become useful, trusted companions in our everyday lives.”\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hyundai Motor Chairman Chung Eui-sun enters a presentation stage along with Spot, a four-legged robot, during the Consumer Electronics Show 2022 Tuesday in Las Vegas.
