Intelligent robot service platform company NEUBILITY (CEO Sangmin Lee) announced on the 5th that it has been selected as a new participating company in the 'K-Humanoid Alliance' jointly promoted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology Evaluation and Planning.
The 'K-Humanoid Alliance' is a cooperative body of industry, academia, and research institutes launched by the government in April of this year with the goal of securing world-class humanoid robot technology by 2030. Major research institutes such as Seoul National University, KAIST, Yonsei University, and POSTECH, as well as numerous private companies such as Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, SK, POSCO, HD Hyundai Robotics, and Rainbow Robotics are participating.
With this alliance, Newbility plans to develop an industrial humanoid with practical applications based on its autonomous driving technology and its "physical AI" fusion capabilities.
Building on the technology proven through its existing outdoor autonomous robot, "Newbee," the company plans to develop a humanoid robot capable of autonomous movement by enhancing key modules such as sensor fusion, path generation, and vision recognition. Specifically, the company aims to create a robot that can be used immediately in actual industrial settings.
Furthermore, Newbility will leverage its existing RaaS (Robot-as-a-Service) platform to develop a cloud-based system capable of supporting remote control, real-time monitoring, and multi-robot operation of humanoids. Through this, the company plans to simultaneously pursue field demonstrations and commercialization of humanoids.
Building on this technological foundation, Newbility plans to develop customized humanoid solutions suitable for complex industrial environments and accelerate the commercialization of robots applicable to indoor and outdoor logistics, security, patrol, and guidance.
CEO Lee Sang-min said, “This alliance participation marks a significant turning point for us to expand our business into the humanoid robot field based on our autonomous driving and AI technologies,” and added, “We plan to actively pursue the development of industrial humanoids utilizing physical AI technology and enter the market in the future.”
