DEEPX, led by CEO Lokwon Kim, has partnered with Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB to build a new AI computing platform for robots.
This platform will use advanced technology to make robots smarter and more efficient in the future.
The partnership aims to build a new AI system that can run large generative AI models in real time inside robots.
This is not just about sharing technology. Both companies are working together to design the main computing system that will power future robots.
Modern robotics AI is focusing on technologies like Vision-Language-Action (VLA) and Vision-Language Models (VLM). These help robots see their surroundings using cameras and understand human language.
With these technologies, robots can not only see and understand but also make their own decisions and take actions. This helps turn robots from simple machines into smart and intelligent systems.
To make these advanced robot features work smoothly, DEEPX and Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB will work together in four main areas. These include building low-power AI chips, creating hardware systems for robots, developing AI software, and making AI tools for robot applications.
At the center of this partnership is DEEPX’s new chip called DX-M2. This chip is designed to run large AI models while using very little power. It helps robots and other machines process data directly on the device, making them faster and more efficient.
The market for Physical AI chips is expected to grow to about $123 billion by 2030, mainly driven by robots and humanoid machines. DEEPX and Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB have already been working together for the past three years to build low-power “edge brain” technology for robots.
“The AI industry is rapidly shifting from data center-centric models to a Physical AI era. Ultra-low-power computing capable of running AI in real-world systems will become the core infrastructure. DEEPX aims to become the global leader in Physical AI computing platforms powering AI across robotics and industrial systems.” Lokwon Kim, CEO, DEEPX
“In the era of Physical AI, robots are becoming the closest point of contact between AI technology and people. At Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB, our goal is to create robots that can naturally coexist with humans — and to achieve this, we are strategically building a core technology ecosystem in collaboration with specialized partners worldwide.” Dong Jin Hyun, Vice President, Head of Robotics LAB, Hyundai Motor Group
