SEOUL, South Korea and LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) today unveiled its transformative AI Robotics Strategy at the Consumer Electronics Show 2026 (CES 2026), presenting a bold roadmap for advancing human-robot collaboration under the theme 'Partnering Human Progress'.
This year's theme builds on its CES 2022 theme, 'Expanding Human Reach', evolving hardware-driven robotics into adaptive, artificial intelligence-driven robots designed to amplify human potential. At the heart of this progression is the Group's human-centered AI Robotics, created to assist and collaborate with individuals.
To achieve this goal, the Group's AI Robotics Strategy is underpinned by three foundational partnerships to drive progress and unlock entirely new possibilities for industry and society:
1. Partnering humans with co-working robots: Robots designed to assist and collaborate with people starting from manufacturing environments, performing hazardous and dangerous, as well as repetitive tasks.
2. Partnering the Group Value Network with Boston Dynamics: Combining Boston Dynamics' expertise in AI Robotics with Hyundai Motor Group's global scale and manufacturing capabilities to create safe training grounds and an End-to-End (E2E) AI Robotics value chain.
3. Partnering with AI leaders: Collaborating with global AI pioneers to open new chapters in AI Robotics innovation and drive the vision of 'Progress for Humanity'.
Based on this strategy, Hyundai Motor Group plans to position itself as a human-centric leader in the Physical AI industry by leveraging its Group-wide value chain and extensive product portfolio. Physical AI refers to the tangible realization of technologies that collect data using hardware in real-world environments to make autonomous decisions — spanning areas such as robotics, smart factories, and autonomous driving.
As the Group secures essential data for Physical AI implementation across the entire value chain — from manufacturing and logistics to sales — it will establish a cycle of continuous improvement by digitizing real-world data for AI learning, applying this to products. This approach will enable the expansion of industries from mobility to robotics.
The Group will also promote the establishment of the Hyundai Motor Group Physical AI Application Center, which will play a key role in advancing the Physical AI ecosystem. In addition, the Group plans to build a robot manufacturing and foundry plant based on customized robotics technologies developed through Physical AI.

Hyundai Motor Group Announces AI Robotics Strategy to Lead Human-Centered Robotics Era at CES 2026
Hyundai Motor Group Announces AI Robotics Strategy to Lead Human-Centered Robotics Era at CES 2026
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At CES 2026, a live robotic tactile interaction demonstration at the ENTERPRISE AI Zone in the North Hall drew industry experts and media.
Through a complete ice-cream making process—including lever manipulation, ingredient handling, and cup handover—the humanoid robot TORA-ONE showcased its autonomous task-execution capabilities.
As a leader in high-precision tactile perception and full-stack embodied AI solutions, PaXini presented its comprehensive product matrix to CES 2026. The exhibit featured full-body 6-axis F/T sensing ecosystems, multidimensional tactile dexterous hands, humanoid robots, and an omni-modality data acquisition system.
From Fingertips to Full Body: Endowing Robots with Tactile Sensation
At the core of the robot's dexterous manipulation is precise perception, which is underpinned by a full-body 6-axis F/T sensing ecosystem. The PX-6AX-GEN3 multidimensional tactile sensor is pivotal for hand perception. It spans three product series and 12 models, achieves <0.5%FS repeatability across the full measurement range, and simultaneously measures 15 sensing dimensions, including six-axis force, material texture, and elastic response.
In addition to comprehensive tactile sensing at the fingertips, force control at the wrist and joints is equally vital. PaXini showcased the PX6D/PXTS, the world's first commercial Hall-effect 6D force/torque sensor designed for embodied AI, combining extreme lightweight design with advanced on-sensor intelligence. It leads the industry in measurement performance and dynamic response, further enabling precise whole-body force perception and stable force control at a disruptive cost-performance ratio.
From Perception to Embodied AI Execution: The Multidimensional Tactile Dexterous Hand
Translating perception into precise action is the DexH13 multidimensional tactile dexterous hand. Equipped with 1,140 ITPU multidimensional tactile processing units, the DexH13 was able to accurately mirror a wide range of human hand gestures, while demonstrating stable grasping of irregular objects—from test tubes to cubes—and performing delicate tasks like knob turning.
The Ultimate Embodied AI Vehicle: Multidimensional Tactile Humanoid Robots
As the culmination of perception and execution, PaXini's humanoid robots offer generalization capability and practical performance, unlocking the true value of technological services in industrial applications. The core of these smooth interactions is the deep integration of tactile feedback into motion control: TORA-ONE demonstrated human-like manipulation, including cup receiving, dispensing, and wafer pick-and-place, while TORA-DOUBLE ONE showcased advanced motion control and interaction capabilities, completing complex obstacle-crossing tasks and engaging with visitors through handshakes.
The Fuel for Embodied AI: The World's First Omni-Modality Embodied AI Data Acquisition System
A major highlight was the exact replica of PaXini's Omni-Modality Embodied AI Data Acquisition System at the CES venue.
In response to the scarcity of physical contact modality data, PaXini unveiled its pioneering "human-centric" omni-modality data acquisition solution, which significantly improves data acquisition efficiency compared to teleoperation and, being based on human configuration, offers high data reusability and long-term value.
PaXini has established the capacity for large-scale production of nearly 200 million omni-modality data entries annually and plans to open this resource globally via a cloud store, addressing the industry's "data anxiety" through data infrastructure.
Ecosystem Strategy: Enabling Global Embodied AI Advancement
Through this closed loop of "Tactile Sensors - Robot Platform - Embodied Data - Scenario Application," PaXini goes beyond showcasing isolated technologies at CES 2026, delivering a complete embodied AI infrastructure. PaXini is dedicated to enabling AI to truly understand the physical world and making intelligent touch accessible everywhere.
