Hyundai's innovation lab for autonomous systems, smart manufacturing, and advanced mobility
HMGICS operates Hyundai Motor Group's open-innovation hub in Singapore with a hardware-forward tech stack: robotics platforms (ROS 2, Yaskaya, ABB, KUKA), computer vision (OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch, NeRF), and industrial automation (Siemens, TIA Portal). The hiring mix—predominantly senior engineers (9 of 13 roles) focused on R&D and manufacturing—reveals a research-stage operation scaling toward production. Active projects span vision-based quality inspection, robotic system prototyping, and smart manufacturing implementation, while pain points center on real-time performance and computational efficiency in vision pipelines.
Notable leadership hires: Core R&D Lab Head
HMGICS is Hyundai Motor Group's R&D and innovation center based in Singapore's Jurong Innovation District, housing researchers, technologists, and manufacturing specialists. The center develops next-generation mobility solutions and explores business models for urban transportation, with specific focus on autonomous systems, computer vision for quality control, and smart factory technologies. Operations include prototype development, process optimization, and cross-functional training programs. The organization operates as a private lab within the broader Hyundai Motor Group structure, positioned as a bridge between research and commercialization for the Asia-Pacific region.
Active projects include advanced computer vision algorithms for robotic systems, vision AI quality inspection, smart manufacturing technology implementation, prototype development for robotic concepts, and jigs/fixtures optimization. Pain points center on real-time vision performance and computational efficiency in production environments.
Core stack includes robotics (ROS 2, Yaskaya, ABB, KUKA, ABB RobotStudio), computer vision (OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch, NeRF), industrial automation (Siemens S7-1500, TIA Portal), data processing (Spark, Hadoop, Hive), and visualization (Power BI, Tableau). Currently adopting Vision AI capabilities.
