[현대차·BD 딥다이브]① 풋옵션 만기 앞두고 구체화된 'IPO 시계'

Boston Dynamics' IPO timeline is crystallizing as SoftBank's put option expires in June 2026, with the Atlas humanoid robot entering mass production by 2028.

This dual-purpose transaction exemplifies how emerging technology investments can simultaneously address governance transitions and scale robotics expansion.
