Advancing Future Mobility with New Technologies

At Hyundai, we understand that mobility plays a crucial role in people's lives. That's why we are committed to ensuring that everyone reaches their destination safely, comfortably, and with a smaller environmental footprint. Every day, we strive to advance future mobility from innovations in car design to robotics.

Continue to innovate for a new mobility.

Advancing accessibility

As a mobility solutions provider, we are deeply committed to enhancing people's lives through accessibility and innovation. Through a range of projects, we work tirelessly to bring our mission of progress for humanity to life by developing impactful solutions that enhance people's lives.

Empowering workers with wearable robots

Hyundai Motor Group developed the X-ble Shoulder wearable robot. It reduces shoulder load during overhead work by 60% and muscle activity by 30%, boosting worker comfort and industrial efficiency.

Supporting mobility recovery with wearable robots

Hyundai Motor has collaborated with the Asan Medical Center and the Korean National Rehabilitation Center to support the mobility recovery of paraplegic patients by providing them with wearable robots. The X-ble MEX is designed to enhance mobility for individuals with paraplegia and assist in their rehabilitation process.

Aiding the visually impaired in navigating the world

Together with SG Enable, the focal agency for disability and inclusion in Singapore, Hyundai has spearheaded an indoor/outdoor navigation solution for people with visual impairments. Wayfinder is an essential navigation guide that provides hardware-free positioning and obstacle monitoring via computer vision. It plays a vital role in the inclusive community space of Enabling Village, a larger project of SG Enable, dedicated to integrating people with disabilities.

Fostering Innovation

Driving new mobility and supporting the next generation of innovators guides everything we do. Our guiding principle in innovating is the transformative power of collaboration: We believe in an open culture and in bringing young designers, researchers and engineers together for strategic collaborations.

Empowering Start-up Collaboration

Innovation and progress are the driving force behind our efforts for sustainability and Creating Shared Value (CSV). We believe strongly that through the power of collaboration and creative, innovative thinking, we can create a better world for everyone. That’s why we initiated two programmes – ZERO1NE and CRADLE – through which we invest into and support promising start-ups and new technologies.

Advancing Mobility Design for People Designing Customer-Centric Mobility

As we transition from being a car manufacturer to becoming a Smart Mobility Solution Provider, we are focusing on a paradigm shift from simply expanding our scale to enhancing the customer experience. At our UX Studio in Seoul and Hyundai Europe Design Center in Germany, we collaborate closely with customers to design purpose-built vehicles that genuinely meet their needs. We also partner with universities and challenge students to interpret Hyundai’s vision of “Progress for Humanity”.

Robotics

At Hyundai, we believe deeply in the power of technology to transform people’s lives. That’s why Hyundai Motor Group invested in Boston Dynamics: By combining their technical expertise with our vision, we aim to realize the future of mobility and build robots that can enhance the daily lives of everyone.

Spot and Atlas

Spot is an agile robot, able to navigate terrain with unprecedented mobility, thereby automating routine inspection tasks and capturing data safely and accurately. Almost a thousand Spots are already out in the world today – and some of them are supporting our human talents in the manufacture of cars. Atlas is designed to push the limits of whole-body mobility. Its advanced control system and state-of-the-art hardware give it the power and balance to demonstrate human-level agility to automate research tasks and dangerous work – particularly in the areas of manufacturing and logistics.

Automating EV charging with the power of robotics

One of the ways we aim to Create Shared Value (CSV) is by developing electric vehicles with user-friendly features and expanding charging infrastructure to make low-emission technologies more accessible. In 2023, Hyundai developed an automatic charging robot for electric vehicles (EV), that can reliably operate in all environments, regardless of charger location, weather or potential obstacles to overcome accessibility issues and make EV charging safer, simpler and more convenient.
