NEPAS plans to establish an avatar-type guidance robot operating system that can solve VIP’s curiosity by freely wandering inside the semiconductor line like a medical endoscope robot that moves around the inside of a person’s body without opening the line to the outside.

In implementing a guide robot that can freely communicate while wandering around the interior space of semiconductor lines with high security ratings, it has decided to form a relationship with Hill’s intelligent guide robot. The project will also be applied to Solomon, an autonomous driving platform owned by Hills Robotics, and the SCS platform, a multi-purpose IoT technology that can transmit high-resolution images even in Internet environments.

Semiconductor supply facilities are divided into memory semiconductors and system semiconductors. The memory semiconductor field, where a large amount of facilities are invested, has characteristics of large-scale small-scale products and is composed of relatively fixed repetitive copper such as AGV in the wafer movement process.

However, since the system semiconductor line has small-volume variety characteristics, the wafer movement process is designed as an autonomous copper that can move freely, such as AMR. This requires an intelligent AMR that needs to safely move wafers of various sizes.

The deployed AMR should freely cross the bump line, the Soing line, the SIP line, and the T&R line without the help of the workers. At this time, logistics robots are considered a very important factor because they have to pass flexibly between elevators and automatic doors within security areas where clean standards are maintained at high density and freely enter and exit like humans.

The robot, an artificial intelligence-based autonomous driving intelligent logistics robot developed by Hills Robotics, is expected to boast its driving skills while wandering around this difficult working environment.

The robot’s performance will be controlled through an integrated server located in Hills Robotics’ Pangyo “AI+Robotics Lab” and will be sent to the “AI+IoT+Robotics” R&D Center of Kyocera Group, a leading Japanese telecommunication company located in Yokohama across the county. These success stories will also be presented at an international conference to be held around October this year.
