HD Hyundai is promoting the demonstration and commercialization of welding humanoids in earnest.

HD Hyundai is known to have recently signed a "joint development agreement for demonstrating and commercializing humanoids for shipyard-specific welding" at the HD Hyundai Global R&D Center in Pangyo, Gyeonggi-do.

This agreement is a follow-up step to the "Humanoid Development for Shipbuilding Welding" business agreement signed in May 2025, and the prototype, which has been in development since last year, received passing points in terms of technology usefulness and possibility.

According to the joint development agreement, HD Korea Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering will develop welding education technology for robots using data accumulated at shipyard sites, while applying AI models that have learned welding process data to actual shipbuilding work.

Through this, HD Hyundai plans to complete the development of humanoids for shipyard-specific welding that can perform high-level tasks such as welding, movement, recognition, and precision control and apply them step by step to actual shipbuilding sites.

An HD Hyundai official who spoke with this newspaper by phone said, "We plan to lead a new paradigm in the shipbuilding industry by introducing humanoids to shipbuilding sites."
