✦ AI Summary
Within the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's "K-On-Device AI Semiconductor Technology Development Project," a collaborative robot task is being pursued, and Doosan Robotics is overseeing it.
Mobilint will develop the AI semiconductor, Doosan Robotics will develop the collaborative robot body and controller, and Aedin Robotics will develop a gripper for object grasping and manipulation.
Aedin Robotics was selected as a joint research and development institution, and the gripper under development is expected to be verified in logistics and manufacturing settings before commercialization.
Within the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's "K-On-Device AI Semiconductor Technology Development Project," a collaborative robot task is being pursued, and Doosan Robotics is overseeing it. Mobilint will develop the AI semiconductor, Doosan Robotics will develop the collaborative robot body and controller, and Aedin Robotics will develop a gripper for object grasping and manipulation. The project runs through December 2030.
The project aims to develop the AI semiconductor, collaborative robot body and controller, and gripper separately and combine them into a single domestic collaborative robot system built around a Korean-made AI semiconductor, Korean-made collaborative robot, and Korean-made gripper. The target Aedin Robotics is developing is a sensor-integrated gripper for installation on Doosan Robotics' next-generation collaborative robot. The development scope includes two-finger grippers and multi-finger grippers, with the two-finger gripper shaped like two fingers and the multi-finger gripper shaped like several fingers.
Aedin Robotics announced on the 30th that it will participate in the collaborative robot task under the "K-On-Device AI Semiconductor Technology Development Project." Aedin Robotics was selected as a joint research and development institution for the government-led national project, and its designation is that of a joint R&D institution. The participating organizations are Aedin Robotics and Doosan Robotics, and Aedin Robotics has begun gripper development.
Aedin Robotics embeds its core force and torque sensors and tactile sensors from the gripper design stage. This is intended to realize a gripper that can autonomously adjust force to match an object and a gripper capable of safe collaboration with humans. The gripper safety test results obtained in the process are expected to be used in Doosan Robotics' response to international safety certification for collaborative robots.
Aedin Robotics is also developing an "inverse and tactile data collection SDK." This SDK is a tool that records and replays force and tactile data collected by the gripper in a standard format. The company plans to provide it as a data base for robot AI training.
The gripper under development will be verified in logistics and manufacturing settings before commercialization. The two companies signed an MOU for joint development of physical AI last November. They plan to use this project as an opportunity to expand their cooperation into product development and commercialization.
Lee Yoon-haeng, CEO of Aedin Robotics, said that in the era of physical AI, the ability to accurately and safely execute AI's judgments at the fingertip level is a core element of robot competitiveness. He added that, based on the company's own sensory intelligence technology, it intends to add refined fingertip sensitivity to Korean-made AI semiconductors and Korean-made collaborative robots.
