The global surge in artificial intelligence has thrust two of its most compelling frontiers—autonomous vehicles and humanoid robots—into the spotlight. Often described as the AI Duo, these technologies are increasingly discussed in tandem. One navigates seamlessly through chaotic city traffic; the other moves with purpose through homes, factories, and hospitals. At the heart of both lies a shared intelligence: a rapidly evolving AI ecosystem powering their decision-making and real-time responses. Together, they represent some of the most sophisticated applications of AI in the real world.

Facing dual pressures from international instability and slowing growth in its main markets, South Korea’s collaborative robot giant Doosan Robotics is actively undergoing a strategic transformation. Despite widening losses, the company has aggressively acquired US robotics solutions provider Onexia to drive growth through global expansion and technological upgrades.

Ventec International Group, a specialty manufacturer of copper-clad laminates (CCLs), has commenced construction of a new manufacturing facility in Thailand as part of its broader global expansion efforts. The initial phase of the plant is expected to begin operations in early 2026, with full-scale production lines planned for activation in the second quarter.
