Cartwheeling Robot Video Sends Hyundai Motor Shares Higher

Hyundai Motor Co. shares rose after the automaker’s robotics unit released a video showing its Atlas humanoid robot executing a cartwheel and backflip, highlighting its dexterity and lifelike movement.

The stock, which has been on a tear since Atlas was unveiled at the CES technology conference in Las Vegas last month, jumped as much as 5.7% in Seoul trading on Tuesday.
