Samsung establishes robotics division RX, may develop humanoid robot

Samsung Electronics has established a new robotics division named RX, signaling a strategic push into advanced robotics. The division, which was formed as part of a broader reorganization, is expected to focus on developing humanoid robots, with its first product potentially being a humanoid robot. This move comes as Samsung seeks to diversify its business beyond consumer electronics and semiconductors. The company has not yet disclosed a timeline for the launch of its first robot, but the creation of the RX division indicates a long-term commitment to the robotics sector. Samsung previously invested in robotics through its Samsung Ventures arm and has showcased various robot concepts at trade shows. The new division is likely to compete with other tech giants like Tesla and Boston Dynamics, which are also developing humanoid robots. Samsung's entry into this field could accelerate the commercialization of humanoid robots for industrial and domestic use.
