Recently named a ‘2020 Emerging AI+X TOP 100’ company by PwC (Pricewaterhouse Coopers) and the AIIA (Artificial Intelligence Industry Association), MakinaRocks develops anomaly detection and control & optimization solutions for the industrial sector based on deep learning & reinforcement learning. The Seoul and Silicon Valley-based startup is currently partnered with global conglomerates in semiconductor, battery, and energy industries.
Hyundai Robotics, the leading industrial robotics company in South Korea, focuses on robots used in automobile and semiconductor industries. With their accumulated technology and research, the company is pushing to diversity their business to construction and F&B tech industries.
Under the terms of the MOU, MakinaRocks and Hyundai Robotics will work together to further advance AI-based industrial robot anomaly detection with the joint development of deep learning models and operational frameworks for industrial robot predictive maintenance. To this end, the two companies plan to develop operating environments for deep learning models and integrate them with Hyundai Robotics’ Robot Monitoring System (HRMS).
“While existing AI projects are currently at the PoC (Proof of Concept) level, this agreement provides the opportunity for more, as it includes the MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) aspect necessary for operating machine learning systems,” said MakinaRocks co-CEO, Andre Yoon. “The collaboration will provide new AI application use-cases, contributing to new value creation in the industrial robot market.”
Hyundai Robotics Managing Director, Dae-gyu Yoon, remarked, “As an increasing number of customers request AI-integrated robots, an AI-based analysis platform for robot functions is an indispensable necessity. We plan to expand our userbase with robots that can autonomously predict failures and perform quality management.”

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
