  "account": "Hyundai Motor Group's humanoid robot Atlas demonstrated advanced robotic control technology by executing a 360-degree spinning jump mid-air while equipped with wheels. Boston Dynamics showcased the feat in a research video released on November 9. The wheeled Atlas rolled at high speed, making sharp turns and performing a side dash before completing a full mid-air rotation. It also balanced on a single wheel and rose independently from the ground. This achievement was made possible through reinforcement learning and Sim-to-Real technology, which allowed the robot to learn movements from human motion capture data. Hyundai Motor Group plans to apply this control technology to improve Atlas in its conventional bipedal form, while Boston Dynamics aims to further develop its AI to respond adaptively in unpredictable environments, with plans to deploy Atlas at its new U.S. plant by 2028.",
