# Boston Dynamics opens Atlas training center at Hyundai's Georgia Metaplant

On 2026-09-22 Boston Dynamics opened its Robotics Metaplant Application Center inside Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America near Savannah, Georgia, where Atlas humanoids are trained on parts logistics and sequencing ahead of Hyundai's plan to deploy 25,000 Atlas units across Hyundai and Kia plants.

## Key facts
- Location: Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America, near Savannah, Georgia
- Atlas currently learning parts logistics and assembly sequencing; component assembly targeted by 2030
- Hyundai plans 25,000 Atlas robots across Hyundai Motor and Kia plants worldwide
- Center to move to a building ~10x larger in 2027; expansion to other industries (aerospace, semiconductors, logistics, etc.) from 2027

## What happened

The RMAC is the first dedicated site where production Atlas units are trained on real automotive factory tasks, following pilot operations that began in June.

## Why it matters

It marks the transition from humanoid demos to a structured industrial deployment program at one of the world's largest automakers.
