LG Electronics said Tuesday it will establish a robotics business center to consolidate its capabilities in robot commercialization, manufacturing and other parts of the robotics supply chain.

According to the company, the new organization will report directly to CEO Lyu Jae-cheol and be headed by Song Si-yong, who previously held senior leadership positions at the company's Production Engineering Research Institute.

LG Electronics carried out an organizational restructuring solely to establish the new organization, which will begin operations on Wednesday.
