Suprema Signs Business Agreement with Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Robotics Lab

Suprema , an AI integrated security solution specialist, announced on the 20th that it signed a business agreement (MOU) with Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Robotics Lab to develop an ‘AI and robotics-based total security solution.’

This agreement aims to create an innovative robotics and physical security business model by combining Suprema’s AI-based integrated security solution with Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Robotics Lab’s robotics technology, and to expand the robot-friendly building business. The main areas of cooperation include ▲development of a total security solution that combines AI and robotics ▲implementation of autonomous robot services through development of robot and infrastructure linkage technology ▲development and standardization of new security services utilizing robotics technology, etc.

The two companies will collaborate to commercialize next-generation smart security services that combine AI security and robotics for various robot-friendly building projects such as prime offices, general hospitals, and high-end hotels. The goal is to use Suprema’s AI-based integrated security platform to control the security and infrastructure of buildings, provide an environment where robots and people can coexist safely, enable autonomous driving of robots, and provide various robot-friendly building services.

Currently, the two companies are successfully developing and operating a security solution that links Suprema’s AI facial recognition access control solution with robots in Factorial Seongsu, the first commercialized robot-friendly building in Korea. They are also working on developing new security services specialized in physical security by utilizing robotics hardware and software technologies.

Kim Han-cheol, CEO of Suprema, said, “This collaboration is significant in that it opens a new era of unmanned security services that combine AI and robotics,” adding, “AIoT technology is establishing itself as a future trend in the physical security industry, and Suprema plans to expand the scope of its work with Robotics Lab to AI-based, robot-friendly building security that integrates cloud, robots, AI, sensors, and field response solutions.” He added that the company will continue to research and collaborate on AIoT-based automation solutions such as AI drones and acoustic detection to grow into a leading company in the field of integrated security platforms that implement AI-based automation.

“Robots and people will create a new industry standard by overcoming infrastructure constraints within buildings and creating new spatial services,” said Hyun Dong-jin, head of Hyundai Motor Company’s Robotics Lab. “Through this collaboration, we expect that a total robotics solution that combines hardware, software, and AI technologies will overcome the limitations of existing physical security and create new opportunities.”
