Hyundai Rotem wins 2 state-backed R&D projects for AI robotics

Hyundai Rotem has secured two state-backed research and development projects aimed at advancing unmanned robot technologies powered by physical artificial intelligence (AI), as it works to strengthen future battlefield capabilities. The company said Tuesday it has been selected to lead two national initiatives. The first, commissioned by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources, focuses on developing an integrated control system for multiple types of robots that can be operated using natural-language commands. The second, commissioned by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD), involves building a physical AI-based simulator and a modular robotic platform. The industry ministry-led project aims to create software that allows operators to control different unmanned robots through spoken or written instructions. Today, unmanned systems are usually operated one by one using remote controls or manually input commands. The new system is designed to let a few operators manage several different platforms at once. Hyundai Rotem plans to apply the technology to its HR-Sherpa unmanned groun
