HD Hyundai Robotics has introduced its first robot featuring an in-house developed AI model, showcased at ROBEX 2026 in Daegu. This dual-arm machine, equipped with five-fingered hands, is designed for kitting applications and boasts a humanlike upper body with a 7 kg payload and a 630 mm working radius. The robot's AI capabilities allow it to perceive its environment and autonomously generate motions, reducing the need for pre-programmed sequences.
The significance of this development lies in HD Hyundai Robotics' ambition to enhance automation in manufacturing processes. The company plans to expand the robot's applications beyond kitting to include welding and painting, with bipedal walking capabilities anticipated in future iterations. This initiative aligns with the company's broader strategy to integrate advanced perception and manipulation technologies into its existing industrial robots and collaborative robots (cobots).
HD Hyundai Robotics aims to reduce robot programming costs by over 50% through the implementation of AI agents that assist engineers in troubleshooting and programming. No specific timeline for the rollout of the robot beyond initial kitting applications was disclosed at the time of publication.
