It has been found that Samsung Electronics is considering the possibility of investing in a stake in Boston Dynamics, a US robotics company owned by Hyundai Motor Group.
As 'physical AI' that moves in actual industrial fields beyond generative artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a core axis of next-generation AI competition, Samsung is also actively seeking to enter the humanoid robot ecosystem.
According to industry sources on the 6th, Samsung Electronics is reviewing the feasibility of investing in Boston Dynamics through its M&A organization under the Business Support Division. It is said that it has a strong strategic investment nature rather than a simple financial investment for securing competitiveness in future robot business.
The industry sees that Samsung Electronics is examining various scenarios and conducting studies, focusing on the possibility of investing in a portion of Boston Dynamics' stake rather than acquiring management control.
In particular, the approximately 10% stake held by SoftBank, a Japanese investment firm, is mentioned as a major review target.
Boston Dynamics is considered one of the world's leading robotics companies.
