The present day of Korean robot technology, 2021 Daegu International Machinery Industry Competition.

From November 16 (Tue) to November 19 (Fri), the 2021 Daegu International Machinery Industry Exhibition was held at the new EXCO building in Daegu, which was newly opened. The Daegu International Machinery Industry Exhibition is an industrial exhibition that encompasses the Daegu International Automation Equipment Exhibition (DAMEX) and the Daegu International Robotics Exhibition (ROBEX) International Parts and Materials Exhibition (PARTS SHOW).

In particular, prominent local robot companies such as Samik THK, Stovey Korea, Yasukawa Electric, and Hyundai Robotics participate every year, drawing keen attention from the robot industry. This year's exhibition was also attended by various local robot companies to showcase their products and technology.

TX2 Touch, a cooperative robot introduced at the exhibition, is known to be the robot with the highest safety level among cooperative robots in the world. While prioritizing the safety of workers, it boasts faster and more accurate performances than general cooperative robots.

At this exhibition, Hyundai Robotics organized booths centered on previously strong industrial robots such as electric and electronic robot automation demonstrations using small high-speed handling robots, logistics robots, and deburring robot systems introduced with its partner Youngchang Robotech, while touring stores.

Kang Cheol-ho, CEO of Hyundai Robotics, said, "We are already expanding our facilities to produce more than 10,000 service robots a year, and we plan to start production in earnest in 2022."

Jung Jae-soo, senior manager of Hyundai Robotics, said, "We will take the lead in popularizing domestic service robots starting with full-fledged production in 2022 while promoting the competitiveness of domestic service robots in the global market."
