Visitors watching CLEVI’s humanoid robot demonstration
[Industry Daily]
CLEVI, an AI (artificial intelligence) specialist, attracted considerable attention from visitors at the ‘1st Industrial AI EXPO (hereinafter referred to as the Industrial AI Expo)’ by demonstrating a humanoid robot equipped with teleoperation technology.
Teleoperation is a technology that enables a robot to imitate an operator’s movements in real time. CLEVI is using it to operate robots and conduct reinforcement learning.
CLEVI CEO Hwan-ho Lee explained, “We fine-tuned an LLM (large language model) and installed it in the robot as on-device AI,” adding, “When a person extends their hand, it assesses the situation as ‘asking for a handshake’ and operates by taking the appropriate action.”
He added a qualification: “However, on-device AI still has physical limitations, so complex actions must be processed via a server.”
Regarding ‘physical AI (physical artificial intelligence)’, he said, “It is currently in a transitional phase, and ultimately, we will need to demonstrate why this technology should be used,” adding, “By using teleoperation, robots can be deployed instead of people in hazardous working environments, such as radioactive areas, so we are developing it as a solution that demonstrates the value of physical AI.”
He said, “Our goal is to develop robots that make decisions and act like people based on AI agents,” explaining, “For example, even without being taught the instruction ‘stand up a fallen chair’, the robot would independently decide what to do and take the necessary action.”
In addition to humanoid robots, CLEVI introduced several AI solutions at the exhibition, including an AI agent creation platform and multimodal AI.
Meanwhile, the Industrial AI Expo, where visitors can explore various AI applications in industry, will be held at COEX Magok in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, until the 5th. It is hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and jointly organised by organisations including the Korea Association of Industrial Intelligence.
