The new vision system will be installed in the next generation of Atlas, Boston Dynamics’ humanoid robot, to play the role of its eyes, which will be able to “detect and perceive” its surroundings even during times of low visibility or poor weather conditions, according to Boston Dynamics.“We’re excited to partner with LG Innotek to drive innovation and redefine the development of robot eyes,” said Robert Playter, chief executive officer of Boston Dynamics.“It is my hope that by working together, we will develop groundbreaking vision systems that are as advanced as the cameras in our mobile phones.” The partnership comes as LG Innotek has been actively expanding its presence in new businesses, such as automotive parts for self-driving cars, robot components and flip chip ball grid array (FC-BGA) substrates, beyond camera modules for smart devices.“By collaborating with Boston Dynamics, a world leader in robotics, LG Innotek will gain an advantage in the robotics components market,” said LG Innotek CEO Moon Hyuk-soo.
LG Innotek Co., a leading South Korean electronics parts maker, will jointly develop new vision sensing systems with Boston Dynamics Inc., a major global mobile robot developer, for the latter’s humanoid robot, Atlas.
According to the agreement, LG Innotek will lead the development of a new vision sensing system integrated with various sensing components, including camera and 3D sensing modules.
