The factory floor is eerily quiet, the surface underfoot is polished to within an inch of its life and small robotic platforms autonomously scoot around delivering parts to production cells. It is here where factory workers wearing high-tech exoskeletons are working on an individual Hyundai Ioniq 5.
One employee, supported by a robotic pack that allows him to work above head height for extended periods of time, steps away from his station to allow a robotic dog to enter the scene. Spot, the agile robotic pooch from Boston Dynamics (and your Black Mirror-induced nightmares), jogs into the workspace, extends its telescopic neck and begins scanning the floor of the Ioniq 5 for imperfections.
