Aiden Robotics selected for the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's 'AI Factory Project'

AdinRobotics , a company specializing in sensors for robots, has been selected as a specialized company for the 'AI Factory Project' hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE).

The 'AI Factory Project' is a government-led project to introduce cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robots to the manufacturing industry to improve productivity and efficiency. Through this project, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy plans to build more than 100 AI-based manufacturing sites by 2030 and expand the scope of application to various fields such as distribution and logistics. In addition, it is also developing a highly versatile AI foundation model to promote its spread across all industries.

The selection of specialized companies was conducted based on criteria such as technological prowess, supply performance, market reliability, and corporate growth potential. A total of 180 companies applied this year, and a total of 23 companies were selected, including 14 companies in the AI solution field and 9 companies in the equipment and robot fields. Aidin Robotics was finally selected as a specialized company in the equipment and robot field after beating out a competition rate of about 8 to 1.

Through this selection, Aidin Robotics has once again been recognized for its technological prowess through its participation in successive government projects, following its designation as the only sensor specialist company in the robot parts sector within the 'K-Humanoid Alliance' launched under the leadership of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy in April.

Adin Robotics has domestically produced the first 6-axis force and torque sensor for collaborative robots based on the 'Field Sensing' technology developed at the 'ROBOTICS Innovatory' lab of Sungkyunkwan University. Currently, the sensor is applied to the wrists and joints of collaborative robots, grippers, and robot hands, and is being supplied to large domestic and foreign companies and research institutes. It is exported to 14 countries including Europe and the Americas.

AdinRobotics plans to participate in future industrial verification projects, including AI factory projects, and expand the application of its robot sensors and automation solutions to manufacturing sites. Through this, it plans to provide AI robot solutions that can be used in processing and finishing processes in major industries such as automobiles, steel, and semiconductors, and seek to expand the market.

Lee Yoon-hang, CEO of Adin Robotics, said, “Being selected as an AI factory specialist will be an opportunity to increase the possibility of applying robot sensors to industrial sites,” and added, “We will continue to strengthen our technological competitiveness through participation in national projects and develop solutions that can contribute to the entire industry.”
