HD Hyundai Robotics, Palantir to slash robot programming costs with AI

HD Hyundai Robotics and Palantir Technologies are using AI agents to help engineers improve robot programs, aiming to cut programming costs by more than half. The collaboration reduced the average time to complete tasks from 21.5 days to 7.9 days after the agents were introduced in August. HD Hyundai Robotics also plans to train field engineers to identify problems and implement AI-based solutions. The companies will hold regular executive steering committee meetings to set priorities and identify further projects.

AI agents analyze existing robot programs and propose improvements that engineers can refine using their practical experience.

Traditionally, skilled engineers have observed robots on-site and repeatedly adjusted work sequences, movement paths and speeds.

HD Hyundai Robotics said reliance on individual experience has made robot programming difficult to standardize.

Ahn Sung-hwan, HD Hyundai Robotics’ chief technology officer and vice president, presented the collaboration at Palantir’s Sovereignty Bootcamp in New York.

About 450 executives from roughly 250 organizations and companies have attended the bootcamp’s three editions since July.

HD Hyundai Robotics is working with Palantir Technologies to integrate artificial intelligence (AI), simulation and human engineers’ expertise into robot programming, aiming to cut programming costs by more than half.

According to HD Hyundai Robotics on Sunday, Ahn Sung-hwan, the company's chief technology officer and vice president, outlined the collaboration during a keynote address at Palantir’s recent Sovereignty Bootcamp in New York. He presented his company’s strategy for applying physical AI and its vision for the technology.

The collaboration focused on changing how human engineers can solve problems on factory floors. Under the two companies’ collaboration, AI agents analyze existing robot programs and propose improvements. The engineers can then refine what the AI comes up with using their practical experiences.

Traditionally, skilled engineers have had to observe robots on-site and repeatedly adjust work sequences, movement paths and speeds. This reliance on individual experience has made the process difficult to standardize.

HD Hyundai Robotics said the two companies could reduce the average time needed to complete tasks from 21.5 days to 7.9 days since introducing the new AI agents into their problem-solving processes in August.

Under the partnership, HD Hyundai Robotics also plans to train field engineers as “on-site solution experts,” expanding their responsibilities beyond robot programming, installation and commissioning to defining problems and implementing AI-based solutions.

The two companies plan to hold regular steering committee meetings involving senior executives to set priorities for joint projects and identify additional applications that can deliver measurable results.

Palantir's Sovereignty Bootcamp explored how companies can protect their data and core business information while using AI to strengthen competitiveness. About 450 executives from roughly 250 organizations and companies have attended its three editions since July.

“We are continuing to expand cooperation with global companies to further strengthen our physical AI capabilities,” Ahn said during the latest bootcamp. “We plan to broaden the applications of our physical AI solutions business by identifying projects that can solve problems on-site more quickly and effectively.”

Ryan Taylor, Palantir’s chief revenue officer, said his company’s partnership with HD Hyundai Robotics was changing how the two companies address customers’ needs.

"We are working with HD Hyundai Robotics on projects that can deliver measurable results in the short term," Taylor said. "Going forward, we will support HD Hyundai Robotics in creating new business opportunities by integrating its robots with Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform, while helping the company leverage its accumulated experience to gain a competitive edge."

HD Hyundai Robotics 和 Palantir Technologies 正在利用人工智能代理帮助工程师改进机器人程序，旨在将编程成本降低一半以上。自 8 月份引入人工智能代理以来，双方的合作已将完成任务的平均时间从 21.5 天缩短至 7.9 天。HD Hyundai Robotics 还计划培训现场工程师，使其能够识别问题并实施基于人工智能的解决方案。两家公司将定期召开执行指导委员会会议，以确定优先事项并确定后续项目。

人工智能代理会分析现有的机器人程序，并提出改进建议，工程师可以利用他们的实践经验来完善这些建议。

传统上，经验丰富的工程师会在现场观察机器人，并反复调整工作顺序、移动路径和速度。

HD Hyundai Robotics表示，由于依赖个人经验，机器人编程难以标准化。

HD Hyundai Robotics 与 Palantir Technologies 合作，将人工智能 (AI)、仿真和人类工程师的专业知识融入机器人编程中，旨在将编程成本降低一半以上。

据HD Hyundai Robotics周日发布的消息，该公司首席技术官兼副总裁安成焕在Palantir近期于纽约举办的Sovereignty Bootcamp大会上发表主题演讲，概述了双方的合作。他介绍了公司应用物理人工智能的战略以及对该技术的愿景。

此次合作旨在改变工程师在工厂车间解决问题的方式。在两家公司的合作框架下，人工智能代理会分析现有的机器人程序并提出改进建议。工程师随后可以结合自身的实践经验，对人工智能的改进方案进行完善。

传统上，经验丰富的工程师需要现场观察机器人，并反复调整其工作顺序、移动路径和速度。这种依赖个人经验的做法使得流程难以标准化。

HD Hyundai Robotics 表示，自 8 月份将新的 AI 代理引入到他们的解决问题过程中以来，两家公司完成任务所需的平均时间已从 21.5 天缩短至 7.9 天。

根据合作协议，HD Hyundai Robotics 还计划将现场工程师培训为“现场解决方案专家”，扩大他们的职责范围，使其不仅负责机器人编程、安装和调试，还要负责定义问题和实施基于人工智能的解决方案。

两家公司计划定期召开由高级管理人员参与的指导委员会会议，以确定联合项目的优先事项，并确定能够带来可衡量结果的其他应用。

Palantir 的“数据主权训练营”探讨了企业如何在利用人工智能增强竞争力的同时，保护其数据和核心业务信息。自 7 月以来，已有来自约 250 家机构和公司的约 450 位高管参加了该训练营的三期活动。

“我们正持续扩大与全球企业的合作，以进一步增强我们的物理人工智能能力，”安在最近一次训练营中表示。“我们计划通过寻找能够更快、更有效地解决现场问题的项目，来拓展我们物理人工智能解决方案业务的应用范围。”

Palantir 首席营收官 Ryan Taylor 表示，该公司与 HD Hyundai Robotics 的合作正在改变两家公司满足客户需求的方式。

泰勒表示：“我们正与HD Hyundai Robotics合作开展一些短期内就能取得显著成效的项目。展望未来，我们将支持HD Hyundai Robotics通过将机器人与Palantir的人工智能平台集成，创造新的商机，同时帮助该公司利用其积累的经验获得竞争优势。”
