Hyundai Motor Group announced the deployment of Hyundai Motor and Kia’s ‘DAL-e Delivery’ robot and Hyundai WIA’s ‘Parking Robot’ at IGIS Asset Management’s Factorial Seongsu, a robot-friendly office building in Seoul. The DAL-e Delivery robot provides autonomous beverage delivery, seamlessly interacting with elevators and doors, while the Parking Robot offers advanced parking services. The Group’s ‘Robot Total Solution’ plan aims to integrate various robots and facial recognition systems in smart buildings, beginning with Factorial Seongsu. Additionally, a multi-integrated control system will manage multiple delivery robots.
“With DAL-e’s full-fledged delivery service, we aim to make Factorial Seongsu the first building to apply our Robot Total Solution,” said Dong Jin Hyun, Vice President and Head of Robotics LAB at Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation. “We plan to expand our robotics services to more buildings, making these technological enhancements a major criterion for space innovation.”
The standout feature of the DAL-e Delivery robot is its autonomous driving capability, allowing it to navigate the building seamlessly. It interfaces with elevator and door control systems, ensuring quick delivery by determining optimal routes in real-time. The robot also boasts an 11.6-inch high-resolution display, providing a clear representation of the service status.
“Hyundai WIA’s autonomous Parking Robot was successfully commercialized at the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore (HMGICS) last year. Also, its performance and safety were fully verified while preparing for its large-scale introduction to the Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) this year,” said Shindan Kang, Vice President and Head of Mobility Solution Planning Group.
Hyundai WIA’s ‘Parking Robot’ can autonomously park vehicles weighing up to 2.2 tons at speeds of up to 1.2 meters per second. Its omnidirectional movement enables it to maneuver vehicles in tight spaces, making it ideal for maximizing parking space utilization and increasing the number of parking spots in the same area.
