AIDIN Robotics announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MintRobot, a leading robotics platform company, to jointly develop a next-generation teaching device for robotic arms.
This partnership aims to enhance the motion programming and usability of robotic arms across various industries. By integrating AIDIN Robotics' six-axis force-torque sensors, the two companies will collaborate extensively to develop an advanced teaching device that can be applied to a wide range of robotic applications.
Traditionally, robotic arms have relied on teaching pendants for programming, which presents limitations, especially for service robots. The joint development will overcome these challenges by creating an intuitive and versatile teaching device applicable not only to industrial robots but also to service robots and humanoid systems.
AIDIN Robotics has been at the forefront of field sensing technology for over 20 years, developing highly responsive force-torque sensors at a fraction of the cost compared to competitors in North America and Europe. These sensors are already widely adopted by domestic and international enterprises. Additionally, the company is currently developing tactile sensors suitable for humanoid robots, expanding its innovative product lineup.
MintRobot specializes in the development of robotic arms, possessing core technologies across the entire spectrum of robot platform design, control, and manufacturing. The company was the first in South Korea to successfully commercialize cylindrical robots and continues to lead the industry by integrating cutting-edge ICT technologies, such as virtualization, into robotics. Furthermore, MintRobot is pioneering Software-Defined Robotics (SDR), a crucial AI-driven technology for next-generation robots.
“The greatest value a robotics platform can provide is maximizing convenience and financial benefits for robot application developers,” said Kang Hyung-seok, CEO of MintRobot. “Through this collaboration with AIDIN Robotics, we aim to introduce an entirely new robotics development experience (DX) to the industry.”
“As the adoption of robots expands across various sectors, user-friendly devices and platforms have become essential,” said Lee Yoon-haeng, CEO of AIDIN Robotics. “With this partnership, we will prioritize user convenience, developing solutions that are not only applicable to collaborative robots but also easily integrable into humanoid robots.”
This strategic collaboration is expected to bring significant advancements in robotic programming, further accelerating the growth of the robotics ecosystem.
