A new era of security is dawning at Seoul's prestigious Tower Palace, with four-legged robots set to patrol its grounds. LG CNS announced it will deploy these advanced security robots in the luxury apartment complex, marking a significant step in integrating robotics into residential security.
The robots are designed to autonomously patrol common areas and underground parking facilities within the complex. Their primary role will be to maintain security and detect unusual situations, such as fires or falls, alerting management to potential issues. This initiative is a collaboration between LG CNS and Tower PMC, a prominent residential management company overseeing numerous high-end properties in Seoul.
This collaboration is a meaningful case where physical artificial intelligence (AI) technology creates customer value in a real residential environment.
Following a two-month period of technical verification (PoC) within the Tower Palace complex, the robots are slated for actual operation by the fourth quarter of this year. LG CNS will train the robots using data from the residential environment, focusing on navigation paths, anomaly detection for falls and fires, and other real-world scenarios. This data-driven approach will enable the robots to patrol autonomously and identify suspicious individuals or overheating electric vehicle charging stations, transmitting alerts to the management office.
Further enhancing their utility, the robots will feature two-way voice communication, allowing real-time interaction between the management and the robots for detailed situation assessment and response. LG CNS will leverage its proprietary "Physical Works" robot transformation (RX) platform, utilizing "Physical Works Forge" for data learning and "Physical Works Baton" for integrated control and task management. The company also plans to establish a collaborative system among various service robots, enabling them to work together on tasks like facility management.
Based on Physical Works, LG CNS will continue to expand AI robot services where various robots perform actual tasks and collaborate with each other.
