LG CNS is accelerating its physical artificial intelligence (AI) business centered on industrial humanoid robots by investing in a US robotics company.

On the 10th, LG CNS announced that it has made a strategic investment in the US robotics company “Dexmate.” Dexmate, which manufactures humanoid robots, is a Silicon Valley company whose quality and performance have been recognized to the extent that its products have been adopted as standard research hardware by global robot-brain development companies. Dexmate’s robots maintain the task execution capabilities of humanoid robots, while featuring wheels instead of legs to enable long-duration, stable operations.

An LG CNS official said, “Because it moves on wheels, it has a more stable lower-body structure than bipedal robots, making it easier to apply in industrial sites such as logistics centers and manufacturing plants, and it has the advantage of enabling precise two-handed cooperative tasks.” The robot supports a load capacity of about 15kg based on both arms and can operate for more than 20 hours on a single charge.

LG CNS is the first Korean company to invest in Dexmate. This investment was made through LG Technology Ventures, LG’s corporate venture capital arm. With this investment, LG CNS has secured wheel-type humanoids in addition to bipedal humanoids and quadruped robots, giving it a diverse portfolio of robotic hardware. Based on this, LG CNS plans to provide “full-stack” robot transformation services that combine robot training with a learning platform.
