Hyundai After Buying Boston Dynamics Starts Using Robots As Guards
Factory Safety Service Robot is capable of identifying people, measuring room temperature, and recognizing dangerous situations.
Boston Dynamics and Hyundai unveiled a new four-legged Factory Safety Service Robot that patrols a Kia auto plant in South Korea. It is designed to ensure safety at industrial facilities, Hyundai said on its blog.
At the heart of Service Robot is a four-legged Spot robot with artificial intelligence, autonomous navigation, remote control technology, and an artificial intelligence system. Using a built-in thermal imager and 3D lidar, it can detect people, monitor temperature rise to dangerous levels and fire risks, and determine whether a door is closed or not.
Service Robot is our first joint project with Boston Dynamics. This android is capable of detecting risks and keeping employees safe at industrial sites. As part of our partnership, we will also continue to create intelligent services that help recognize hazards in industrial facilities and maintain a safe work environment.
