Hyundai Motor Group expands robotics ecosystem via MobED platform
Hyundai Motor Group is expanding the domestic robotics ecosystem by collaborating with South Korean companies through its mobile robot platform, MobED (Mobile Eccentric Droid). At the 2026 RoboWorld exhibition held at KINTEX, the group showcased various applications developed in partnership with Gaon Robotics, Wego Robotics, and Roas.
The MobED platform utilizes in-wheel motors and a Drive-and-Lift (DnL) module based on eccentric wheels, allowing the vehicle to maintain stability and level posture even when traversing uneven terrain or 20cm obstacles. This technology enables partners to focus on developing specialized top modules and services rather than the underlying driving platform.
Key demonstrations included:
Gaon Robotics presented four types of robots for patrol, delivery, recycling, and semi-humanoid functions.
Wego Robotics showcased a dual-arm mobile manipulator capable of grasping and manipulating objects while moving, utilizing AI and Robot Operating System (ROS) technologies.
Roas demonstrated the platform's terrain adaptability, including 360-degree rotation in tight spaces and overcoming height differences.
Hyundai Motor Group has established the MobED Alliance to foster continuous technical and business cooperation, aiming to reduce development costs and time for specialized robotics firms.
