LG CNS Unveils Integrated Robot Learning and Operation Platform

LG CNS, a leading IT service company, has unveiled its groundbreaking 'Physical Works' platform, a comprehensive solution designed to manage the entire lifecycle of industrial robots, from learning to operation. This marks a significant first for a domestic company, aiming to establish a new market standard in the burgeoning field of AI-powered robotics.

The platform is divided into two key components: 'Forge,' which tackles the critical hurdle of data acquisition and validation, and 'Baton,' which enables unified control over various robot models. Forge significantly reduces robot training time from months to mere weeks by supporting both direct human operation and virtual environment simulations. Baton, on the other hand, addresses the complexity of managing heterogeneous robot fleets, allowing for seamless integration and control of different robot types from various manufacturers within a single interface.

The key to robotic transformation is not the performance of individual robots, but rather establishing a learning and verification system tailored to the site, along with an integrated operating system.

LG CNS anticipates substantial gains in productivity and cost savings, projecting over a 15% increase in productivity and up to an 18% reduction in operational expenses for environments managing around 100 robots. The company is already engaged in proof-of-concept projects with over 20 clients using Forge, and Baton is currently deployed in the Busan Smart City National Pilot Project for integrated control of four types of robots. This initiative underscores LG CNS's commitment to leading the charge in robotic transformation (RX) and solidifying its position in the advanced robotics market.

We will create a new standard for the commercialization of physical artificial intelligence based on our capabilities that encompass robot learning, application, and operation.
