Events

• 2026-10-06 - Award - Doosan Robotics consortium selected for AI welding research project

  The 45-month project targets at least 95% alignment with skilled-worker paths, path error within ±3 mm, automated welding of five or more layers, and more than 50% shorter working time. DEEPX will develop NPU-based edge hardware and a vision pipeline; SAGE will handle 3D recognition and defect models, while Changwon contributes path generation and physics-based digital twins. Planned trials at Doosan Enerbility’s Nuclear Center will cover tack welding, preheating and welding before broader application to shipbuilding, plant equipment and defence.
