Car companies, such as Tesla, BMW, and Hyundai, are testing robots on assembly lines to replace workers in repetitive tasks, improving efficiency and reducing costs.

Many car companies are proposing to replace employees who perform repetitive tasks with robots, a measure aimed at increasing efficiency and reducing production costs. Tesla has introduced the humanoid robot Optimus in its factories, but other companies, such as BMW and Hyundai, are rapidly advancing in the development of industrial robots. BMW has launched a pilot project with humanoid robots at its Leipzig plant, integrating 'Physical AI', which combines artificial intelligence with real robots. This allows for more efficient use of robots in production, including in battery assembly. Hyundai, after acquiring Boston Dynamics, is investing $6.3 billion in the development of robots and an AI data center in South Korea. The pilot projects from BMW and Hyundai highlight the importance of digitization and artificial intelligence in the future of the automotive industry, aiming to create a flexible and competitive production environment.
