NEURA Robotics partners with HD Hyundai on shipbuilding robots - The Robot Report

NEURA Robotics has formed a strategic partnership with HD Hyundai Samho and HD Hyundai Robotics to jointly develop and test specialized quadruped and humanoid robots for shipbuilding applications. This collaboration aims to leverage NEURA’s cognitive robotics technology, including its 4NE1 humanoid platform, alongside Hyundai’s expertise in welding automation and shipyard automation solutions. The partners plan to validate these robots in real-world shipbuilding environments to enhance efficiency, safety, and productivity, addressing the industry’s growing skilled labor shortage. HD Hyundai Samho will provide demonstration sites and practical validation, while HD Hyundai Robotics will contribute technical support such as path learning data and performance validation. NEURA Robotics will focus on developing and commercializing humanoid robots tailored for shipbuilding tasks. This partnership is part of a broader push by NEURA Robotics to advance intelligent, collaborative robotics, as evidenced by its multiple recent agreements with companies like Vodafone, NVIDIA, SAP, and others to enhance connectivity, AI, simulation, and robot mobility.
