Signal Samsung Launches Humanoid Robot Division With Robot-Brain AI Already Tested in Factories

Summary

Samsung Electronics formally launched a Robotics eXperience business division on 21 July 2026, consolidating scattered robotics units into a single organisation reporting directly to chief executive Roh Tae-moon. The company holds a robot AI system called Shallow-pi that has already passed factory testing. It plans a Robot Data Factory in Gumi to convert its own production lines into proprietary AI training data. Observers identified the distinguishing feature as bringing factory-validated robot AI rather than a research announcement.
