The robotic arm extended toward the car body moved slowly. As it approached the welding point, it repeatedly stopped and moved, as if fumbling for a path. It was a process of correcting the movement path generated in virtual space to match the actual position of the car body. Earlier, when the research team intentionally shifted the car body's position, the camera sensor recognized this and
Upon entering the Hyundai Motor Group Uiwang Research Center in Uiwang, Gyeonggi Province on the 16th, the sight of yellow welding robots moving around a car body made up of only its frame caught my eye. Fixed to the floor, the robots identified welding locations and movement paths in a virtual space displayed on monitors, then extended their arms to the side of the car body. Whenever an error was detected, the robots autonomously adjusted their…
Kia's Purpose-Built Vehicle (PBV) PV5 slowly entered the arched tunnel. As cameras densely installed on the ceiling and sides scanned the vehicle body, the location and size of exterior defects were displayed on the vehicle layout on the adjacent monitor. Approximately 5,000 ultra-high-resolution images are captured while inspecting a single vehicle. This is a "tunnel-type exterior inspection" technology where cameras and artificial intelligence…
[Digital Daily Reporter Chae Su-woong] The scene at Hyundai Motor and Kia’s 'e-Forest Tech Day 2026,' held on the 16th at the Uiwang Research Center in Gyeonggi Province. A yellow industrial robot approached the underside of a vehicle door and installed a door garnish. It secured 19 clips—which previously required a person to bend over to insert—using minute vibrations and precise control technology. On the other side, a robot was attaching long…
