Qualcomm Inc., an American semiconductor company, is joining SK Telecom Co. and Integrit for the development of a robotics platform that will connect intelligent robots. This project is being led by the South Korean telecom firm and the local robotics company.
SK Telecom said on Tuesday, Feb. 21, that this three-party project that will create the robotics platform is aiming to make a standardized site that can share and process data by boosting the connectivity of the robots. It was revealed that the telecom firm already signed a contract with Integrit for the same project in May 2022, and Qualcomm only joined this year.
As per Pulse News, SK Telecom and Integrit will launch Airpath, which has been described as an open robotics platform that features 5G, a self-driving function, a high-resolution camera, and voice talk solutions based on Qualcomm’s QRB5165 processor. This will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress, which will take place on Feb. 27 in Barcelona, Spain.
SKT explained that although many kinds of intelligent robots are being introduced in the South Korean market today, these robots can only learn information and process data that are limited to the extent of where they are active. With its new robotics platform, the robots will have a more expansive room to pick up information from and process data.
SK Telecom will lead the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, security technology, robot control, and data set standardization for the platform it is developing with Integrit and Qualcomm. On the other hand, the US-based chipmaker will supply an Internet of Things processor, AI engine, and robotics RB5 platform.
Integrit will be in charge of developing and distributing robot development kits with solutions from SKT and Qualcomm. It will also handle the testing for certification of the project, The Korea Bizwire reported.
“A variety of intelligent robots are emerging in the domestic robot market, but they can only learn information and process data limited to the space in which they are active,” SKT said in a statement.
