Hyundai and Kia are about to use our wearable robots at their plants in North American factory. We are expecting our creations to be very handy in so many other industries, such as construction, or retail and distribution industry. But the CEX and the VEX are created by the automaker that has its own car factories, and for this reason we know exactly what the workers need. Wearable robots for industrial use are widely distributed in North American region already, so it might not be the first time you have seen these. Kim: Many of the workers in any industry are older than ever, and such wearable robots can boost load support and mobility, and prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The CEX and the VEX we unveiled last year are also a part of many projects we are working on right now. The company established a designated robotics team in its strategic technology headquarters to focus on the development of related tech. Hyun: Hyundai Motor Group selected Robot-Artificial Intelligence as one of five areas of future innovation growth. ‘The robotics team’ does not really sound familiar to us.
The robotics team (Head Researcher Dong Jin Hyun, Sang In Pak, Senior Researcher Gyu Jung Kim, and Senior Researcher Ki Hyun Bae) shares the whole story below: The CEX and the VEX were developed by the Hyundai and Kia robotics team (Senior Researcher Gyu Jung Kim, Sang In Pak, Head Researcher Dong Jin Hyun, and Senior Researcher Ki Hyun Bae, left to right) The investigational VEX(Vest EXoskeleton) is a follow-up exoskeleton designed for neck and shoulder support, and will be deployed by the end of the year. Hyundai and Kia’s robotics team: ‘VEX’ for upper body support, and ‘CEX’ for lower body supportĪfter Hyundai and Kia debuted CEX (Chairless Exoskeleton) to give knee support to sedentary assembly workers back in October 2018, they are planning for its mass-production. Hyundai and Kia debuted their wearable robots for industrial use, for the first time in automotive industry. But, we do have wearable robots right now, and they are already distributed among workers in North America. It might be easy for us to picture cool humanoid robots or fictional military robots in sci-fi movies when someone says ‘robot’, but sadly those robots that would make our lives way better haven’t been invented yet.
The treatment, unfortunately, is very expensive and not simple.Ī wearable robot, which involves physical hardware for assisting with human motion, could be a helping hand in this kind of situation. They can become acute or chronic as well. Musculoskeletal disorders are injuries or pain in the human musculoskeletal system, including the joints, muscles, nerves, and structures that support limbs, neck and back. Governments and private corporates are trying to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders in static high-precision work or dynamic heavy lifting.
