Doosan, a major South Korean industrial group, is making a significant leap into the world of Physical Artificial Intelligence (AI). The company has created a new dedicated laboratory called PAI Lab, which will focus on integrating advanced AI technologies into their core hardware businesses like robotics, construction machinery, and power generation equipment.

Physical AI represents a cutting-edge approach where artificial intelligence can operate autonomously in complex environments, making intelligent decisions similar to human cognition. For Doosan, this means transforming their existing product lines into smarter, more adaptive systems. Their robotics division, for instance, aims to develop robots that can do more than simple repetitive tasks, instead creating machines capable of complex interactions and independent decision-making.

To accelerate their AI ambitions, Doosan has strategically partnered with Stanford University's Human-Centered AI Institute. This collaboration will help them access global AI talent, conduct joint research, and potentially recruit top-tier researchers. Additionally, the company plans to invest in and collaborate with AI startups, focusing on critical technologies like robotics, control systems, sensor integration, and advanced simulations.
