Hyundai Motor Poland presented the Boston Dynamics’ quadruped robot Spot® to customers and media. From 20 January to 8 February, Spot® visited four Hyundai Electrified Showrooms in Poland – in Gdańsk, Poznań, Wrocław, and Warszawa.
On 7 February, Spot® was also presented to a broader Polish audience during a live broadcast of Onet Rano, Poland’s most popular online morning show. During a 20-minute interview, journalist Janusz Schwertner spoke with Michał Dziwulski (Product, Hyundai Motor Poland) and Agnieszka Piłat (artist, painter, Boston Dynamics robot trainer in San Diego, California) about Hyundai’s vision of Progress for Humanity, electromobility, robotics, and how robots would affect people’s safety and comfort in the future. The interview was broadcasted from the Hyundai Dealer Electrified Showroom in Warsaw. The agile robot was present during the entire interview, walking around the space. In one day, this broadcast generated more than 0.5 million views.
The interview was part of Hyundai Motor Poland x Onet Rano yearlong cooperation, aimed to promote electromobility. For one year, journalists of Onet Rano will be using the fully-electric IONIQ 5 as a mobile studio, inviting guests to discuss political and social issues.
On 8 February, Spot® was presented to the most prominent Polish technology, business, and automotive journalists, again along with Hyundai’s vision of Progress for Humanity and Hyundai’s transformation into a Smart Mobility Solutions Provider. Hyundai develops solutions beyond cars: commercial hydrogen vehicles, Urban Air Mobility, robotics, and autonomous driving. After the presentation, Spot® danced to BTS' popular song “I’m On It”.
Throughout the year, Spot® will embark on a European tour. The first leg of the tour has already been concluded in Poland with events at four Hyundai Electrified Showrooms – Margo, Nawrot, Karlik, and Auto G.T. Warsaw.
Spot® is now headed to the Czech Republic, where it will be present at the grand opening of an EV showroom in Prague. From April to July, Spot® will be in the UK, and the tour will continue in Trondheim, Norway. The final leg of the European tour is still in planning.
Progress for Humanity
Hyundai Motor Company is striving to provide freedom of movement to everyone by investing in mobility services, building a close relationship with leading mobility service providers and expanding our role beyond the automotive transportation sector. The company will play a pivotal role in global society’s transition to clean energy by helping make hydrogen an economically viable energy source.
IONIQ Line-Up Brand
By 2025, Hyundai expects to sell 560,000 battery electric vehicles worldwide and have introduced more than 13 BEVs built on E-GMP, Hyundai Motor Group’s first dedicated EV platform. Under the IONIQ line-up brand, Hyundai will offer customer-centric EV experiences centred on connected lifestyle solutions. The first model under IONIQ was the fully-electric midsize CUV IONIQ 5 launched in early 2021. IONIQ 5 is based on the concept EV ‘45’, which Hyundai unveiled at the International Motor Show (IAA) 2019 in Frankfurt as a homage to its very first concept car. IONIQ 5’s designers took inspiration from the past and integrated it with cutting-edge parametric pixels, a unique design element that Hyundai designers will continue to incorporate into future IONIQ models: IONIQ 6 sedan (2022) and IONIQ 7 SUV (2024).
Hyundai Electrified Showrooms
Hyundai Electrified Showroom is a new concept of Hyundai showrooms, in which customers have better access to electrified models. Among all car manufacturers, Hyundai offers the widest range of electrified powertrains, including mild hybrids, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, BEVs and FCEVs. In Poland, there are already four Hyundai Electrified Showrooms in the cities of Gdańsk, Poznań, Warsaw, and Wrocław.
Hyundai electrified models:
- MHEV (Mild Hybrid): i30, TUCSON
- HEV (Hybrid): KONA Hybrid, TUCSON Hybrid, SANTA FE Hybrid

IONIQ 5 Robotaxis
Motional, a joint venture between Hyundai and Aptiv, has announced that their latest driverless IONIQ 5-based robotaxi (IONIQ 5 Robotaxi) will be available from 2023. Based on the fully-electric IONIQ 5, IONIQ 5 Robotaxi is an SAE Level 4 autonomous vehicle that can operate without a driver. The first key benefit of autonomous robotaxis is the safety aspect. Driverless technology will significantly improve the safety of our roads by eliminating accidents caused by human error, which will save millions of lives. The next benefit is that Hyundai believes autonomous vehicles will provide a more accessible, affordable, and reliable form of transportation for everyone. That is why Hyundai is building IONIQ 5 Robotaxis to offer improved mobility options to a wide range of users across the world.
