Suprema, a global leader in AI-driven access control and security, has entered a three-way memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB and Hyundai Engineering & Construction (Hyundai E&C) to enhance residential complexes using service robot technology.
Future residential spaces will require designs that allow smooth robot movement, AI security systems capable of distinguishing residents from outsiders, and integrated platforms to manage operations seamlessly. Under this partnership, the three companies will leverage their expertise in AI security, robotics, and architectural design to develop advanced residential complexes where service robots can function safely and naturally. The collaboration will move forward in stages, including proof-of-concept (PoC) trials and eventual commercialization.
Suprema will be responsible for building an AI-powered integrated security infrastructure across the entire residential complex, the next-generation residential services that integrate robotics, security, and architecture. Leveraging its AI facial authentication and BioStar X, its unified security platform, Suprema will serve as the system integrator (SI), connecting the robot platform with building security systems. Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB will design specialized robot services for residential environments and lead the establishment of technical standards based on autonomous robots and its Robotics Total Solution (RTS) platform. Hyundai E&C will generate demand for robot services by providing robot-friendly architectural designs and pilot sites centered on its strategic residential projects. Also, with Suprema’s AI security technology and Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB’s robotics capabilities Hyundai E&C plans to realize robot-integrated living environments by combining its architectural expertise.
“As service robots begin to perform delivery, guidance, and patrol tasks throughout residential spaces, an AI-powered security infrastructure becomes essential to ensure that robots and residents can coexist safely under unified security rules,” said Hanchul Kim, CEO of Suprema Inc. “Based on our AI-powered unified security platform BioStar X and Suprema’s proven biometric and mobile access authentication technologies, we will work with Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB and Hyundai E&C to lead a new era of residential security powered by robotics and AI, expanding from proven domestic references to the global residential security market.”
“A truly advanced residential complex based on service robots can achieve competitiveness only when robotics, architecture, and security systems are designed as one integrated infrastructure,” said Ri Goon Choi, Executive Director of Hyundai Motor and Kia Robotics LAB. “Through continuous enhancement of our robotic platforms, we will deliver optimized robot services and jointly establish new standards for residential robotics with Suprema and Hyundai E&C.”
“In future residential complexes, the construction company’s key role will be to design robot-friendly living environments where a variety of service robots and residents can coexist naturally,” said Seung Min Oh, Executive Vice President of Hyundai E&C. “By creating demand for residential robot services and combining Hyundai Motor Group Robotics Lab’s robotics technology with Suprema’s AI security solutions, we aim to lead the development of service robot-based residential complexes that enhance resident mobility, convenience, and safety.”
