Hyundai Robotics LAB DEEPX Edge AI Chip Enters Mass Production

Hyundai Robotics LAB DEEPX Edge AI Chip was officially introduced as Hyundai Motor Group’s Robotics LAB and AI semiconductor company DEEPX presented the result of their three-year collaboration, marking a major milestone in physical artificial intelligence for autonomous robotics.
The unveiling took place at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas during the inaugural CES Foundry, an event focused on artificial intelligence, blockchain, and quantum computing. The new processor represents the transition from development to large-scale manufacturing, bringing a powerful on-device intelligence platform to commercial robotics.
Hyundai Robotics LAB DEEPX Edge AI Chip moves into mass production
The Hyundai Robotics LAB DEEPX Edge AI Chip is an “edge brain” designed to operate directly inside robots. DEEPX manufactures the semiconductor, while Hyundai Robotics LAB provides proprietary control and AI software that allows robots to make decisions without relying on external servers or network connections.
Key capabilities of the chip include:

• Full on-device AI processing without cloud dependency

• Integration of Hyundai Robotics LAB proprietary robotics software

• Designed for autonomous operation in complex environments

This architecture allows robots to remain functional even when disconnected from external digital infrastructure.
Low-power design enables reliable autonomous operation
With power consumption below five watts during active use, the Hyundai Robotics LAB DEEPX Edge AI Chip is optimized for energy-efficient autonomous machines. Because it does not depend on a stable internet connection, it is well suited for challenging locations such as underground parking areas, warehouses, and logistics hubs where connectivity can be limited or unavailable.
Compared to cloud-based AI systems, this on-device approach delivers:

• Faster response times

• Higher data security

• More stable performance in isolated environments

These advantages are critical for robotics applications that require real-time decision-making.
Already deployed in Hyundai Robotics LAB platforms
The new chip is already being implemented across multiple Robotics LAB technologies. These include Facey, a facial recognition system under development, and DAL-e Delivery, an autonomous delivery robot currently undergoing demonstration and validation.
By embedding intelligence directly into the hardware, Hyundai Robotics LAB aims to accelerate the deployment of smart service robots that can operate independently, safely, and efficiently in real-world environments.
