Vision AI solution company Alchera (CEO Young-gyu Hwang) announced on the 11th that it has signed a collaboration agreement with American robotics company Stokes Robotics and will apply its facial recognition AI technology to Stokes Robotics' humanoid robots and supply them to the global healthcare market.
Stokes Robotics boasts a diverse portfolio of robots, including the humanoid robots "GiGi" and "Hank," suitable for use in education, security, and industry. This collaboration equips these robots with Alchera's facial recognition AI technology, enabling them to go beyond simple assistance tasks and provide personalized care and guidance services.
Senior healthcare, particularly in nursing homes and retirement communities in countries like the United States, where populations are rapidly aging, has been identified as a key target market. Robots can recognize patients' faces in real time, providing access control, personalized guidance, and safety monitoring, thereby simultaneously enhancing patient safety and medical staff efficiency. Furthermore, hotels and long-term stay facilities can enhance convenience and security through contactless check-in, guest identification, and personalized guidance.
Alchera is the only company in Korea to have passed the International Organization for Standardization (iBeta)'s "Face Forgery Detection (PAD) Test" using a standard RGB camera. In particular, its Liveness technology enables fast and accurate identity verification by identifying forgeries and falsifications simply by taking a real-time selfie. Currently, over 70% of Korea's major financial institutions have adopted Alchera's facial recognition technology, and it is also being used in key public systems, including access control at government buildings, verification of college entrance exam test takers' photos, and driver authentication for the Korea Transportation Safety Authority.
Alchera CEO Young-kyu Hwang said, “By applying facial recognition technology to humanoid robots, we will accelerate the intelligence of robots and create value, especially in the senior healthcare sector.” He added, “Through this collaboration, we will expand our technological presence in the global service robot market and contribute to solving senior care and security issues.”
