  "account": "Samsung SDS is accelerating the adoption of robots across major Samsung affiliates, from manufacturing sites to outdoor worksites. The company held the RX ART 2026 event in Mountain View, California, where executives and robotics leaders from various Samsung affiliates validated robot use cases in industrial settings. Samsung SDS collaborated with global physical AI companies such as Walden Robotics and RoboForce to examine the applicability of robots based on actual tasks performed at affiliate worksites. Demonstrations focused on automating manual tasks, such as parts handling and consumables replacement at Samsung Electro-Mechanics factories, and outdoor work at Samsung Heavy Industries. Robotic applications were also explored in shipbuilding and plant operations, as well as precision manufacturing processes at Samsung Display. Samsung SDS plans to swiftly move towards field demonstrations at Samsung affiliate worksites to advance robot transformation in industrial settings by expanding verified use cases across its affiliates. Ahn Dae-jung, executive vice president and head of the Digital Factory at Samsung SDS, emphasized the importance of sharing technological experiences and challenges among affiliates with different manufacturing environments. The company will actively support the advancement of manufacturing robot transformation by continuously expanding strategic partnerships with global physical AI robotics companies.",
