According to Chinese media outlet Cailian Press, South Korean Samsung Electronics is reportedly accelerating the development of a prototype humanoid robot, aiming for its first public unveiling at the “CES” technology trade show to be held in Las Vegas, U.S., in January 2027. Prior to this, South Korea’s largest automaker, Hyundai, and its subsidiary Boston Dynamics, earlier this year, unveiled the next-generation humanoid robot “Atlas” to the public for the first time. Industry insiders say, “As artificial intelligence (AI) advances and the commercialization of humanoid robots is expected to accelerate, Samsung is picking up the pace.” In order to increase the development efficiency of humanoid robots, Samsung is reportedly placing the development of both artificial intelligence (AI) software and hardware under the supervision of Yoon Jang-hyun, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the DX Division.
