Michelo Robotics Co., Ltd. (CEO Park Jang-jun) , a company specializing in AI-based physical robot software, announced that it has been selected for the development project of the ‘Intelligent Autonomous Painting Robot System’ in the ‘Defense Venture Innovation Technology Support Project’ hosted by the Agency for Defense Development.
This project aims to automate the painting process at the Army's General Maintenance Depot. The core of the project is to transform the manual, skilled labor-intensive system into an AI-based autonomous robotic system. MicheloRobotics will form a consortium with Withers21 Co., Ltd. to jointly develop the project, which will last 24 months.
The key technology applied is Michelo Robotics' proprietary "Michelo AI-based Real2Sim–Simulator–Sim2Real" software for surface treatment automation. This technology converts data obtained from the real environment (Real) into a virtual simulator (Simulator), which is then reflected back into the real-world task (Sim2Real), allowing the robot to optimize its work path and improve quality through self-learning.
Michelo AI collects data on shape, location, and texture from actual painting environments, generates thousands of painting patterns through simulations, and then incorporates these patterns into real-world processes, enabling real-time error correction and quality improvement. This is expected to approximately double painting quality consistency and increase productivity by approximately 1.8 times compared to existing systems.
Michelo Robotics' Michelo AI, based on a three-stage micro-agent architecture of "observation, simulation, and reflection," implements autonomous robotic intelligence that integrates real-world environments with virtual learning. This technology is attracting attention as a prime example of the "Defense-to-Industry" model, as it has potential for expansion into civilian industries such as automotive, aircraft maintenance, shipbuilding, and construction equipment.
Park Jang-jun, CEO of Michelo Robotics, said, “This project is the first case of physical AI-based robot software being applied to an actual defense maintenance site, and is a symbolic project that goes beyond automation to realize ‘intelligence of skill.’ Through this technology development, we will present an AI robot platform that can be utilized across the military and industry.”
