What happened
Hyundai Motor Group is increasing its focus on robotics and physical artificial intelligence to remain competitive against fast-growing Chinese automakers and find new sources of growth. The company's shares previously doubled after Boston Dynamics unveiled the Atlas humanoid robot at CES in January, reaching 755,000 won in June. However, the stock has since dropped sharply to 312,000 won.
