LG CNS to deploy security robots at Seoul's Tower Palace

LG CNS plans to introduce four-legged security robots at Tower Palace, a upscale residential building in southern Seoul, as it aims to commercialize physical artificial intelligence in practical settings. The company announced on Thursday that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Tower PMC, a property management firm specializing in high-end residential properties, to establish a service centered around these robots.

According to the agreement, both entities will undertake approximately two months of technology validation at Tower Palace prior to the robots commencing operations in the fourth quarter. LG CNS will utilize data collected from the complex, such as its layout, patrol paths, and potential abnormal situations like falls or fires, to train the four-legged robots.

These robots will autonomously patrol common areas and underground parking lots. Should they identify suspicious individuals or irregular conditions, such as excessive heat emitted by electric vehicles or charging stations, they will notify the management office. Additionally, managers will have the ability to communicate with the robots in real-time via two-way audio and visual interfaces.
