Hyundai Motor Group has
ventured further into the highvalue
robotics industry of the future
by commencing development of
Hyundai Vest Exoskeleton (H-VEX)
wearable industrial robots.
Following the Hyundai Chairless
Exoskeleton (H-CEX) demonstration
conducted in the Hyundai-KIA
North American factory last August,
the company plans to verify
H-VEX’s success through extensive
testing at the end of 2018.
In early 2018, Hyundai selected
Robot-Artificial Intelligence as one
of five areas of future innovation
growth. The company established
a designated robotics team in its
strategic technology headquarters
to focus on the development of
related tech, and is expanding its
cooperation with associated sectors.
“The robotics field not only offers
future mobility solutions, but also
presents alternative solutions to
reduce productivity decline in
the workforce. Hyundai plans to
utilise its extensive technological
database collected from
autonomous vehicle production
experience to drive the
company’s success in the
robotics field.”
