Overview
- LG CNS unveiled the two-part PhysicalWorks platform Thursday at its Seoul R&D center, pairing Forge for robot training with Baton for fleet control.
- In a live demo at LG Science Park, four robots from Unitree, Deep Robotics, Dexmate and Bear Robotics completed a handoff without remote control, taking about 90 seconds over a few meters.
- Baton already coordinates patrol, barista, luggage and cleaning robots in Busan’s national smart-city pilot, according to the company.
- The firm is piloting the platform with about a dozen clients and says it is running more than 20 proof-of-concept projects across electronics, chemicals, batteries and shipbuilding.
- Executives say they will lean on decades of factory IT work and fresh robotics investments to move from trials to paid deployments within one to two years.
