On-device AI and robotics company Integrit has registered four patents for vision-language-action (VLA)-based robot technology and is launching its next-generation humanoid platform business in earnest.

Integrit announced on the 23rd that it had registered four domestic patents related to environment recognition and action decision-making technologies for VLM·VLA-based robots. The registered patents cover: △ a robot that determines the priority of actions by considering multiple conditions and explains the reasons △ a situation-adaptive VLA home gateway △ a home robot that generates situation-appropriate multimedia △ a mobile robot that provides vision-based autonomous navigation and wireless communication coverage.

The company explained that these patents relate to technology that connects AI perception results to the robot’s actual decisions and actions. The robot determines action priorities by evaluating its surrounding environment and multiple conditions, and responds in line with real-time changes in the situation.

Integrit plans to combine this technology with the “world model” and “Time Series Foundation Model (TSFM)” currently under development. The world model is a technology that predicts the outcome before the robot takes action, and TSFM predicts risk signals by analyzing time-series data from robots and equipment. The company aims to realize robots that not only perceive their environment and generate actions, but also predict the outcomes of those actions.

The company expects this technology to be applied not only to industrial robots in sectors such as semiconductors, manufacturing, logistics, and facility management, but also to the development of household humanoids.

Integrit’s platform is designed as an open structure that is not dependent on specific manufacturers or hardware. Its policy is to support commercialization by robot manufacturers by linking the edge AI platform “AirPath,” on-device AI technology “SynaAI,” and the field data integration platform “FlyingLet Synapse.” According to the company, Integrit has been applying on-device AI-based robot control and autonomous facility inspection technologies to major domestic semiconductor production facilities and Incheon International Airport.

Lee Jong-min, Director of Integrit’s AIR Research Institute, said, “The competitiveness of next-generation humanoid robots depends not only on their ability to perceive their surroundings and generate actions, but also on how accurately they can predict and judge the physical results of those actions and future environmental changes.”

Integrit plans to unveil a next-generation humanoid development kit in January next year and expand its business from industrial to household service robots.
