Recently named a '2020 Emerging AI+X TOP 100' company by PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) and the AIIA (Artificial Intelligence Industry Association),MakinaRocksdevelops anomaly detection and control & optimization solutions forthe industrial sector based on deep learning & reinforcement learning.The Seoul and Silicon Valley-based startup is currently partnered with global conglomerates in semiconductor,battery,and energy industries.

Hyundai Robotics,the leading industrial robotics company in South Korea,focuses on robots used in automobile and semiconductor industries. With their accumulated technology and research,the company is pushing to diversity their business to construction and F&B tech industries.

Under the terms of the MOU,MakinaRocksand Hyundai Robotics will work together to further advance AI-based industrial robot anomaly detection with the joint development of deep learning models and operational frameworks for industrial robot predictive maintenance.To this end,the two companies plan to develop operating environments for deep learning models and integratethem withHyundai Robotics'Robot Monitoring System (HRMS).

"While existing AI projects are currently at thePoC(Proof of Concept) level,this agreementprovides the opportunity for more,as itincludes theMLOps(Machine Learning Operations) aspect necessary for operating machine learning systems,"saidMakinaRocksco-CEO,Andre Yoon. "Thecollaboration will provide new AI application use-cases,contributing tonew value creationin the industrial robot market."

Hyundai Robotics Managing Director,Dae-gyuYoon,remarked,"As an increasing number of customers request AI-integrated robots,an AI-based analysis platform for robot functions is an indispensable necessity. We plan to expand our userbase with robots that can autonomously predict failures and perform quality management."
