PolarisAI Targets Industrial Sites with Humanoid Robots... Accelerates Commercialization of Physical AI

PolarisAI is accelerating the commercialization of its physical AI business by introducing an industrial safety solution that combines humanoid robots and artificial intelligence (AI) video surveillance technology. The company’s strategy focuses on going beyond simple robot distribution by developing robot scenarios that can be utilized in manufacturing and logistics environments, and securing proof-of-concept references in industrial sites.

PolarisAI announced that it is participating in the 'KOREA SAFETY INDUSTRY EXPO 2026 (K-SAFETY EXPO 2026),' held at BEXCO in Busan from September 2 to 4, 2026. There, the company will present the industrial humanoid robot 'UBTECH S2' and the field-specific AI device 'Polaris Edge.' PolarisAI is the official domestic distributor of UBTECH, the global humanoid robot company.

This exhibition is not limited to simply showcasing the robots; it is focused on demonstrating their application in actual industrial settings and verifying the business potential of these scenarios.

On site, the UBTECH S2 performs tasks by moving within pre-designated work zones, picking up boxes, transporting them to assigned locations, and then returning to its standby position. This demonstrates the potential of replacing burdensome heavy lifting or repetitive tasks—common in manufacturing and logistics—with humanoid robots.

Along with the S2, PolarisAI is also unveiling Polaris Edge, a field-focused AI device. By integrating humanoid robots with cutting-edge AI technology for on-site environments, the company aims to build a physical AI model that reduces workers’ exposure to hazards and enhances both safety and operational efficiency at industrial sites.

Physical AI refers to technology where AI goes beyond analyzing data in digital space, and instead perceives and makes decisions about the physical environment through devices such as robots, then carries out tasks based on those judgments. The potential for humanoid robots in manufacturing, logistics, and industrial safety is rising, and the relevant market is expanding accordingly.

PolarisAI plans to leverage this exhibition as an opportunity to validate the on-site applicability of its physical AI technology and secure new references. The company will continue to identify operational scenarios for use in manufacturing, logistics, and industrial safety, and will expand related business through field demonstrations.

In particular, PolarisAI is building a physical AI business portfolio that integrates the technological expertise accumulated from its existing AI software business with humanoid robots, spanning both software and hardware. The company intends to move beyond merely providing humanoid robots and expand into offering integrated AI and robot solutions tailored to client work environments and requirements.

A representative from PolarisAI stated, "The purpose of this exhibition is not to simply display humanoid robots, but to verify which tasks can be replaced by robots in real industrial sites and how a safer and more efficient work environment can be established," adding, "We will continue to accumulate field tests and references to accelerate the commercialization of the physical AI business."

Meanwhile, PolarisAI is maintaining a stable foundation in its fashion and culture (F&C) business centering on Kipling, while fostering AI convergence solutions and physical AI as new growth engines. The company plans to leverage the business foundation established in its existing operations to increase investment in new AI businesses and, in the mid- to long-term, strengthen its business portfolio and corporate value.
