POSCO Holdings Inc.\u2019s\u00a0PKX\u00a0subsidiary, POSCO DX, has partnered with NC AI to develop a Physical AI-based industrial robot foundation model jointly.<\/p>\n

The collaboration aims to create next-generation autonomous industrial robots capable of understanding their environments, making decisions\u00a0independently\u00a0and performing complex tasks in dynamic manufacturing settings.<\/p>\n

The companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on May 29, 2026, to combine their respective\u00a0expertise\u00a0in robotics and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

The centerpiece of the collaboration is the development of a robot foundation model, a general-purpose AI system that functions as the \u201cbrain\u201d of industrial robots. The new model aims to enable robots to understand their surroundings, make decisions\u00a0independently\u00a0and adapt to changing workplace conditions.<\/p>\n

POSCO will contribute its\u00a0expertise\u00a0in robot motion planning, control\u00a0systems\u00a0and simulation technologies. The company will also build a digital twin-based virtual testing environment, allowing robots to be trained and\u00a0validated\u00a0in a realistic digital replica of industrial facilities before deployment. This approach is expected to improve reliability,\u00a0safety\u00a0and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

NC AI will develop the core AI models for the robot foundation model,\u00a0leveraging\u00a0large volumes of industrial data to build advanced Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. These models will enable robots to understand visual information, interpret human\u00a0instructions\u00a0and convert them into physical actions. The companies will also work together on VLA optimization, robot intelligence\u00a0validation\u00a0and safety technologies.<\/p>\n

The Physical AI technology is designed to help robots\u00a0operate\u00a0autonomously in dynamic industrial environments. Robots powered by the foundation model will be able to adapt to changing conditions, respond to unexpected\u00a0situations\u00a0and perform complex tasks that are difficult for traditional automation systems.<\/p>\n

The project supports POSCO\u00a0Group\u2019s strategy to expand AI-driven automation and improve workplace safety. By combining robotics, digital\u00a0twins\u00a0and Physical AI, POSCO DX and NC AI aim to develop a scalable robot intelligence platform for deployment across various industries.<\/p>\n

Shares of PKX have gained\u00a039.8% in the past year\u00a0against\u00a0the\u00a0industry\u2019s\u00a05.3% decline.<\/p>\n
