…lab at the Uiwang R&D Center in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The companies have used DEEPX's technology as part of a proof-of-concept phase over the past year to run algorithms that allow robots to smoothly complete their tasks. DEEPX said its semiconductor technology demonstrated that it offers high AI computational efficiency and low power operation, making it suitable for mass production. The proof of concept also “demonstrated outstanding AI performance by providing higher AI accuracy with INT8bit than FP32bit,” the company claimed. Hyundai tasks DEEPX with enhancing its robots' AI capabilities As part of the agreement, Hyundai and Kia plan to…

…China remains the largest market for robotics, and South Korea has the highest robot density, or number of robots per 10,000 human workers, according to the IFR. Some countries, such as Singapore, Sweden, and Denmark, have a relatively high rate of automation but smaller populations, noted the Frankfurt, Germany-based nonprofit organization. Source: International Federation of Robotics Robotics market increases after 2019 dip While robot shipments dipped from 422,000 in 2018 to 382,000 in 2019, that was because of a temporary, pre-pandemic decline in manufacturing, according to the IFR. “Two main industries were affected in 2019,” said Dr. Susanne Bieller, general…

…Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea investigated a partially compliant robot hand. It uses a rigid link connected to a structure known as a crossed flexural hinge (CFH), which it said could increase the robot's lifting power while minimizing damage in the event of a collision. Generally, a CFH is made of two strips of metal arranged in an X-shape that can flex or bend in one position while remaining rigid in others, without creating friction. “Smart industrial robots and cooperative robots that interact with humans need both resilience and strength,” said Dongwon Yun, who heads…
