Hyundai Begins Mass Production of Edge Brain AI Chip for Autonomous Robots

The ultra low-power processor handles AI tasks on the robot to keep services running in places with unreliable connectivity.

Overview

  • Hyundai announced the start of production after unveiling the Edge Brain chip at CES 2026 in Las Vegas.
  • The processor is the result of a three-year collaboration between Hyundai Motor Group’s Robotics Lab and South Korea’s DeepX.
  • Consuming under 5 watts, the chip enables real-time perception and decision-making directly on devices without cloud or network links.
  • Edge Brain has been integrated into the lab’s Facey facial-recognition system and a delivery robot currently in demonstrations.
  • Hyundai plans sequential adoption in AI security solutions and next-generation mobile robots with pilot deployments at airports and hospitals, with suitability for sites like underground parking and logistics centers.
