K-humanoid-alliance

South Korean logistics firm CJ Logistics has partnered with Rainbow Robotics to develop AI-powered humanoid robots capable of autonomous decision-making for warehouse operations. Rainbow Robotics will supply hardware, while CJ Logistics focuses on developing 'Agentic AI' and identifying tasks for field tests planned later this year.

South Korea has launched the K-Humanoid Alliance, uniting over 40 academic institutions, research bodies, and private companies like LG, Doosan, and Rainbow Robotics. Backed by government funding, the initiative aims to make the country a global leader in humanoid robotics by 2030, focusing on developing foundational AI models and core components like sensors and actuators.
