Robotic improvement faces the important problem of guaranteeing secure and environment friendly human-robot collaboration in industrial settings. Conventional robots typically lack the sensitivity to detect close by people or objects, resulting in security dangers and operational inefficiencies. Aidin Robotics resolves this subject with superior drive and torque sensing know-how and revolutionary impedance-based proximity detection know-how, permitting robots to understand and bodily work together with their surroundings with excessive sensitivity.
We invested in Aidin Robotics as a result of their refined drive and torque sensing know-how units them aside from different merchandise. Aidin’s sensors precisely measure precise forces and torques, offering robots with the potential to detect interactions with human-level precision. This potential permits robots to determine the diploma of drive and torque being utilized, enabling them to deal with objects with the required sensitivity for duties that have been beforehand too delicate for automation.
By integrating Aidin’s drive and torque sensors, robots can now function in environments the place exact software of drive is essential, making them safer, extra adaptable, and extra environment friendly in dynamic settings. This development is predicted to broaden the scope of robotic purposes, enabling deployment in new areas that require human-like dexterity and interactive capabilities.
We joined Aidin Robotics’ ₩15 billion (roughly $11.2 million) Sequence B funding spherical led by Korea Funding Companions, with participation from POSCO Funding, CJ Logistics, and GS Ventures. This spherical brings Aidin Robotics’ whole funding to ₩20 billion (round $15 million) since its inception. The capital infusion is meant to assist expertise acquisition, product improvement, mass manufacturing scaling, and world market enlargement.
We’re excited to assist the Aidin Robotics workforce and their management of unmatched experience in robotics and sensor know-how. President and CEO Dr. Hyouk Ryeol Choi, an IEEE Fellow and former president of the Korea Robotics Society, brings a long time of management in robotic sensors. Co-CEO Dr. Yoon Haeng Lee, an award-winning system developer recognized for his groundbreaking work on quadruped robots, provides intensive system improvement expertise. CTO Dr. Yong Bum Kim, a robotic sensor specialist with worldwide tutorial achievements, rounds out a workforce uniquely positioned to drive innovation in human-robot collaboration.
Investing in Aidin Robotics presents an thrilling alternative to see how their superior drive and torque sensing know-how is built-in into future robotics initiatives, additional enhancing security and adaptableness in human-robot interactions.
