Hyundai Construction announced on the 14th that it is embarking on the creation of a “robot-friendly future residential complex” with an emphasis on an “autonomous robot delivery service.” This innovative service, co-developed with Hyundai Motor Group startup ‘Mobin,’ will be implemented at the ‘DH Daechi Edelweiss,’ which is scheduled for completion in June. They also proposed a similar robot-friendly residential complex concept to the Hannam 4 Reorganization Promotion Zone in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, where they are competing for a project with Samsung C&T.
A representative from Hyundai Construction mentioned plans to gradually expand the application of the D2D (Door to Door) robot delivery service to multi-family housing. The autonomous D2D robot delivery service is integrated with wireless communication and control systems and equipped with an unmanned elevator boarding and alighting feature, allowing seamless movement across the full range—from roads to underground parking lots, communal entrance doors, elevators, and individual apartment entrances.
Last year, Hyundai Construction completed a pilot test of the autonomous robot delivery service for residents of the standalone townhouse ‘Hillstate Rapiano Samsong.’ At the beginning of this year, they signed a business agreement with Hyundai Elevator to announce the commercialization of the service. The technology has also advanced, incorporating intelligent features such as unmanned automatic elevator call functions, the ability to recall in case of destination floor cancellation, and determining elevator capacity limits, which allows the robot to make decisions in various situations.
Additionally, Mobin’s developed autonomous delivery robot, which uses technology free from movement constraints, can deliver packages and food and conduct patrols. The robot features specially developed rubber wheels to navigate obstacles like stairs and maintains horizontal stability for its load. Equipped with 3D LiDAR and cameras, it can recognize surrounding terrain and objects, enabling comprehensive situational assessment. It also includes an idle time patrol mode for safe pedestrian-focused autonomous driving.
A Hyundai Construction spokesperson stated, “The indoor-outdoor integrated autonomous robot delivery service provides both customer convenience and quality of life improvement for future customers who seek a free and comfortable life.”
