Hyundai wants to build a robots that operate in the real world, not just virtual reality. The concept of the metaverse is in its beginning stages with various ideas emerging at once and some will surely fail. The idea of including robots might seem a bit outlandish at first but there is real value in doing so and could be one of the most practical reasons for the metaverse since it anchors it in reality.
Hyundai has a long history in robotics for industrial use and shipbuilding. Its acquisition of Boston Dynamics near the end of 2020, solidified its position as a leader in the field for lighter and more mobile robots. In fact, the division that owns a controlling share in Boston Dynamics is Hyundai Motor Group, which manufactures vehicles. This is a consumer-oriented part of the vast Hyundai conglomerate, focusing on mobility.
With this background, robotics takes on a new meaning, and a large amount of Hyundai's YouTube the is in the metaverse. Real-world presence while in virtual reality is a very realistic and practical need that will exist at the point that people are spending a significant amount of time in VR.
