Samsung SDS Accelerates RX... Hosts 'RX ART 2026' in the U.S.

Showcasing Global Robotics Technologies in Samsung Affiliates' Operations

Samsung SDS is accelerating the robotic transformation (RX) in industrial sites by collaborating with global physical artificial intelligence (AI) companies to validate robotic technologies.

Samsung SDS announced on September 3 that it held 'RX ART (Robotics Transformation Advancing Robotics Together) 2026' for two days from August 31 to September 1 in Mountain View, California, USA.

Executives and leaders responsible for robotics from major Samsung affiliates attended this event to discuss cooperation strategies. Samsung SDS, together with its affiliates, identified cases of robotic applications in industrial sites and validated them in partnership with global physical AI companies such as Walden Robotics and Roboforce, sharing the results of these collaborations.

In particular, going beyond simple technology demonstrations, Samsung SDS secured data needed for AI training based on real-world operational challenges and verified the applicability of robots. The company explained that these efforts allowed it to develop concrete and practical solutions for field deployment.

To begin with, at the manufacturing sites of Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Semes, Samsung SDS implemented a variety of manual tasks such as parts handling and consumable replacement using Walden Robotics' general-purpose robots. In unstructured and harsh outdoor environments typical of the shipbuilding and plant sites of Samsung Heavy Industries and SAMSUNG E&A, Samsung SDS applied Roboforce’s physical AI-based robotic labor technology to verify the potential for robotic automation.

Additionally, in highly precise manufacturing and equipment environments, such as those of Samsung Display, Samsung SDS demonstrated the automation potential of delicate processes by integrating the precision manipulation AI technology developed by robotics startup G.

Samsung SDS plans to convert the technical possibilities and application strategies confirmed at this event into real-world proof-of-concept projects at its affiliates’ sites, thereby expanding the use cases of robotics. Through these initiatives, the company aims to move beyond simple technology adoption and fully implement RX to achieve tangible results in industrial settings.

Ahn Daejoong, Vice President and Head of Digital Factory at Samsung SDS, stated, “This RX ART event provided an opportunity for Samsung affiliates with different manufacturing environments to experience and discuss technologies together. Samsung SDS will continue to expand its strategic cooperation with global physical AI robotics companies and actively support the advancement of manufacturing RX at Samsung affiliates.”
