SEOUL — Hyundai Motor Group has unveiled the production-ready autonomous mobility robot platform ‘MobED’ at iREX 2025 in Tokyo, Japan. This new technology promises to change how we interact with robots both personally and professionally.
Key Takeaways
- MobED offers adaptable mobility for various industries and everyday life.
- The platform includes AI-based autonomous navigation, LiDAR-camera fusion sensors, and an eccentric posture control mechanism.
- Scheduled sales of MobED Pro and Basic models are set to start in the first half of 2026.
At iREX 2025, Hyundai showcased how MobED can navigate tricky terrains with ease. The robot’s design ensures stability even when lifting heavy loads or moving across uneven surfaces thanks to its advanced sensors and Drive-and-Lift (DnL) modules.
MobED’s software is designed to be intuitive for users of all ages, making it easy for families to incorporate into daily routines without needing extensive training. Whether you’re looking to automate household chores or improve industrial efficiency, MobED has got your back.
The robot’s innovative approach includes three key features: Adaptive Mobility (hardware), Intuitive Autonomy (software) and Infinite Journey (applications). These functionalities ensure that MobED can evolve with users’ needs over time. For instance, families might start using it for lawn care but later adapt it to help elderly relatives.
