Neubility is teaming up with global robotics company Unitree to develop next-generation robot solutions and expand its business.
Neubility signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Unitree to establish a strategic partnership on the 25th, the company said Tuesday.
Under the MOU, the two companies will jointly develop new robot solutions by leveraging their respective technologies and business capabilities, and will proactively pursue cooperation in the Korean market. The main area of collaboration is to combine Neubility's autonomous navigation (technology that recognizes the surrounding environment and independently plans and follows movement routes) robotics kit solution "NeuOn" with Unitree's robot hardware platform to develop robot solutions applicable to various industrial sites. The companies will identify new business models centered on the Korean market and also review future expansion into the Asia-Pacific region.
Neubility's NeuOn is an add-on computing platform that can be mounted in modular form onto existing robot products, allowing easy application of artificial intelligence (AI)-based autonomous driving solutions. Its key feature is that AI autonomous driving functions can be instantly installed on various robot hardware without a separate development process, accelerating the commercialization of physical AI robots. Neubility plans to combine NeuOn with Unitree's humanoid and quadruped robots to advance robot solutions optimized for field demands such as patrol, detection, reconnaissance, transport and special missions.
Unitree is a leading global company in the field of AI-based humanoid and quadruped robots, and a key robot partner in the next-generation physical AI ecosystem led by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
"This collaboration is significant in that it combines Neubility's autonomous navigation technology and service operation know-how with a global robot platform," said Neubility CEO Kang Ki-hyuk. "Going forward, we plan to advance our robot transformation (RX) solution, which supports the entire process of field adoption and operation required for robot-based automation services, to create new business opportunities." Irving Chen, Unitree's head of global sales, said, "Neubility is a company with field-proven technology and operational experience. We expect to develop robot solutions optimized for industrial sites together with Neubility, and based on our achievements in the Korean market, to further expand our cooperation in the APAC region in the future."
