The Robotics Lab of the Hyundai Motor Group has achieved an impressive success at the “Red Dot Design Award 2024”. In the “Robotics” category, three of the prestigious awards were presented, including two “Best of the Best” titles as class winners. These awards recognize the outstanding design and functionality of the award-winning robots, which offer diverse application possibilities. Once again, the Hyundai Motor Group demonstrates its innovation and commitment to combining customer needs with advanced robotics technology.
Award-Winning Robot Performs Safety Inspections at Hyundai Innovation Center
The award-winning robot deployed at the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore specializes in conducting safety inspections. Leveraging artificial intelligence, this robot inspects machinery within the mobility center, detecting anomalies and ensuring thorough inspections of devices located in hard-to-reach areas. Its seamlessly integrated design blends harmoniously with the environment of the Innovation Center Singapore, while its curved shape eliminates blind spots, enhancing both productivity and perception. Equipped with a telescopic-mounted camera, the robot boasts an extended field of view. Additionally, the robot’s four “Plug and Drive” modules, positioned in each corner, enable obstacle avoidance and smooth navigation.
Award-winning ‘MobED Delivery’ Robot Ensures Safe and Convenient Deliveries
The award-winning “MobED Delivery” robot stands out as a top performer in the delivery robot category. Its innovative “Drive and Lift” module seamlessly integrates propulsion, steering, and braking into a single wheel mechanism. This allows the robot to dynamically adjust to varying inclines and heights, effortlessly navigating diverse terrains. With an integrated conveyor belt at the rear, the robot securely deposits the transported goods as it tilts, ensuring safe delivery in different environments. The absence of a requirement for personal item handover enhances customer convenience.
The “DAL-e Delivery” robot, a recipient of the prestigious Red Dot Design Award, is specifically designed for delivering groceries, beverages, and packages. With its Plug and Drive (PnD) module, this robot can efficiently navigate complex environments such as offices and shopping centers. Equipped with cameras and sensors, it can autonomously navigate and avoid obstacles. The robot’s thoughtful and functional design includes a top-mounted display that provides users with real-time updates on its status. Its central cargo compartment features automatically opening double doors and an electrically powered tray for secure transportation of goods.
The Hyundai Motor Group has once again demonstrated its leading role in the robotics industry with its award-winning robots. The accolades received at the “Red Dot Design Award 2024” not only recognize the impressive design of these robots, but also their high level of functionality and technological capabilities. These award-winning robots provide innovative solutions for safety inspections and reliable deliveries in diverse environments. The Hyundai Motor Group continues to be at the forefront of robot technology development, setting new standards for the industry.
