What happened

HD Hyundai Robotics recently unveiled its in-house–developed intelligent dual-arm robot, accelerating its push into physical artificial intelligence (AI). The company is also working with global AI software firm Palantir to advance its physical AI solutions. The intelligent dual-arm robot is a physical AI–based machine with a structure similar to a human upper body, including two arms and five fingers. It can overcome the structural limits of conventional industrial robots that can only repeat standardized tasks in confined areas.

The intelligent dual-arm robot is a physical AI–based machine with a structure similar to a human upper body, including two arms and five fingers.

Each arm of the robot has a payload of 7 kg and a working radius of 630 mm.

The robot can perform delicate tasks such as gripping and moving objects.

A robot developed in-house by HD Hyundai Robotics is built in, enabling the machine to perceive its surroundings and autonomously generate context-appropriate motions.

The robot can adapt flexibly to various environments without programmers having to specify each task sequence and position.
