American robot manufacturer Boston Dynamics, owned by Korean Hyundai Motor, will not hold an initial public offering (IPO) in 2027 due to financial problems. Reuters reports this with reference to a top manager at Hyundai Motor.
According to him, the company’s flagship product, the Atlas humanoid robot, has not yet been implemented on an industrial scale, and the developer’s activities are unprofitable.
Kim Hyun-soo, senior fund manager at IBK Asset Management, noted that Boston Dynamics' robots can dance, but it's not difficult. “A much more difficult task is to ensure that they carry heavy loads and are included in the production process in factories,” the expert emphasized.
Other analysts, in comments to the agency, suggested that Boston Dynamics would be able to go public no earlier than 2030.
