The landscape of industrial sites is rapidly changing. In particular, the collaborative robot market, where humans and robots work together, is experiencing tremendous growth, projected to be valued at $2.28 billion in 2026 and reach $5.72 billion by 2031. At the heart of this transformation is Doosan Robotics. Beyond simply manufacturing robots, Doosan Robotics is leading the market by introducing intelligent automation solutions that integrate artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The innovative AI-based solutions recently unveiled at ‘Automate 2026,’ North America’s largest automation technology and robotics exhibition, offer a glimpse into the future of collaborative robots.
Doosan Robotics’ Core: Collaborative Robots
Doosan Robotics boasts unparalleled technological prowess in the collaborative robot sector. Unlike traditional industrial robots, collaborative robots are characterized by their ability to work alongside human operators without safety fences, thereby increasing productivity. They are utilized in various industries such as automotive, packaging, electronics and semiconductors, and food and beverages, adding efficiency to tasks like material handling, quality testing, assembly, and welding. Doosan Robotics is continuously enhancing performance and safety through ongoing research and development to maximize the benefits of these collaborative robots.
Global Market Expansion and Intelligent Automation Strategy
Doosan Robotics is accelerating its global market expansion. To strengthen its competitiveness in the North American market, it has launched a new U.S. subsidiary and is pursuing local business expansion and recruitment. Furthermore, it is making aggressive moves to penetrate the European market, such as expanding and relocating its European branch to Frankfurt, Germany. Their strategy is to secure market leadership by providing AI and software-based intelligent robot solutions, moving beyond mere hardware sales.
AI-Powered Palletizing Solution ‘PalletizHD+’
Doosan Robotics’ AI palletizing solution ‘PalletizHD+’, first unveiled at ‘Automate 2026,’ maximizes efficiency in logistics and manufacturing sites. The core competitive advantage of PalletizHD+ is its high-speed processing capability. By applying AI-based pattern generation and ‘Swift Move’ technology, which designs optimal movement paths, it can process up to 11 boxes per minute. Furthermore, user convenience has been enhanced with an intuitive integrated screen, similar to a smartphone, allowing management of box information, pallet conditions, and stacking patterns.
The growth of the collaborative robot market will continue. Doosan Robotics is expected to lead this market and transform the future of industrial sites through its AI-based solutions and aggressive global market expansion. Their next moves are already highly anticipated.
