POSCO Group has decided to promote the application of humanoid robots to logistics management for steel products.
On the 4th, POSCO Group announced that four companies — POSCO, POSCODX, POSCO Venture Capital, and Persona AI — signed a “memorandum of understanding (MOU) for on-site application of industrial humanoid robots.” Under the agreement, POSCO will identify areas within its steelworks where humanoid robots can be introduced and will be responsible for evaluating their applicability. POSCODX will design and build robotic automation systems and develop models specialized for steelworks. POSCO Venture Capital will support the execution of proof-of-concept (PoC) projects, while Persona AI will be in charge of developing humanoid robots designed specifically for steelworks.
POSCO Group plans to deploy Persona AI’s humanoid robots in steel coil logistics management in the second half of this year (July–December) to verify their feasibility for real-world application. POSCO Group believes that collaboration between humans and robots can create a safer working environment.
