Hyundai Motor Group deploys autonomous mobile robots across its Metaplant America manufacturing process
Hyundai Motor GroupAutonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) · LiDAR sensors · 3D depth cameras +6Hyundai Motor Group's Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR), which uses SLAM technology with LiDAR sensors and 3D depth cameras to navigate and select optimal travel paths, is currently being used across the entire manufacturing process at Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA). The Group also showcased other AI robotics products at CES 2026 including the Atlas humanoid robot, Spot integrated with Orbit AI software for facility inspection, and the AI Keeper quality-inspection solution based on Spot that autonomously detects assembly defects on the automotive production line.
Overview
Hyundai Motor Group's Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR), which uses SLAM technology with LiDAR sensors and 3D depth cameras to navigate and select optimal travel paths, is currently being used across the entire manufacturing process at Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA). The Group also showcased other AI robotics products at CES 2026 including the Atlas humanoid robot, Spot integrated with Orbit AI software for facility inspection, and the AI Keeper quality-inspection solution based on Spot that autonomously detects assembly defects on the automotive production line.
The solution
Hyundai Motor Group's Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) is based on Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology, using LiDAR sensors and 3D depth cameras to independently recognize its surroundings and obstacles and select optimal travel paths. The AMR is currently being used across the entire manufacturing process at Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA). At CES 2026 the Group also showcased other AI robotics products, including the Atlas humanoid robot from Boston Dynamics, Spot integrated with Orbit AI software for facility inspection, the AI Keeper quality-inspection solution based on Spot that autonomously detects assembly defects on the automotive production line, and Stretch, a logistics loading/unloading robot working alongside Hyundai WIA's Collaborative Robot (Cobot).
Reported business value
The AMR enhances the efficiency of logistics operations across the entire HMGMA manufacturing process. The AI Keeper automates the assembly quality inspection process, enabling immediate corrective actions and precise checks even for hard-to-reach internal vehicle components.
