Hyundai Motor Group Unveils Production-Ready Autonomous Mobility Robot Platform ‘MobED’ at iREX 2025
First shown as a concept robot at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022, MobED has been refined into a production-ready, fully autonomous mobility robot platform using artificial intelligence (AI).
Key takeaways
- The most recent developments in humanoid robotics show a rapid expansion into both industrial and consumer domains.
- In August 2025 Ubtech released the Walker S2, an industrial‑grade humanoid equipped with an autonomous battery‑swap system that enables continuous operation, and demonstrated its capabilities in a multi‑robot training program at a smart factory.
- Two months later, Deep Robotics unveiled the DR02, the first all‑weather humanoid with IP66 dust and water resistance, aimed at outdoor security, logistics and hazardous‑site inspection.
- At the end of 2025, Hyundai Motor Group presented MobED, a production‑ready autonomous mobility robot platform featuring AI‑driven navigation, LiDAR‑camera fusion and an eccentric posture control mechanism for stable movement in industrial and everyday settings.
- Meanwhile, Unitree’s larger H2 humanoid captured attention by performing full‑size combat sequences, showcasing new teleoperation controls and dexterous hands that expand its manipulation abilities.
