▲ KT launched two types of AI quarantine robots and announced the KT AI robot service platform business strategy.



Small, medium and large sizes, plasma, UVC sterilization and air purification
Meeting the demand for ‘everyday quarantine’ centered on multi-use facilities

KT (CEO Hyunmo Koo) is launching two KT AI quarantine robots to showcase the latest quarantine technology in line with the endemic era and is formalizing the promotion of a customer-tailored 'robot service platform' business to accelerate its leadership in the robot service market.

KT announced its AI robot service platform business strategy and launched two types of AI quarantine robots at an online press conference held on the morning of the 30th.

The two types of KT AI quarantine robots are small, medium, and large in size and have different quarantine capacities and sizes, but they both feature plasma, UVC (ultraviolet wavelength) sterilization, and air purification functions.

The plasma method is harmless to the human body and can be safely used for quarantine in spaces where people are present. It is an eco-friendly method that sterilizes viruses by over 99.9%.

In addition, simultaneous quarantine is carried out on viruses that fall to the floor, such as droplets, through the UVC LED mounted at the bottom, and fine dust is removed.It also provides air purification functions for dust, ultrafine dust, and harmful gases.

KT's AI quarantine robot has applied safe autonomous driving based on Lidar and camera sensors, and automatic charging.

24-hour intelligent control enables remote monitoring and dispatch, and a smartphone app can be used to control robots, check status information, schedule quarantine, and check result reports.

Meanwhile, KT defined its robot business as a robot service platform business rather than a simple product supply business, and announced that it is promoting it as a core business of DIGICO (digital platform company).

The KT AI quarantine robot launched this time is not a simple product, but is provided as a comprehensive service based on the KT robot platform.

KT announced that it will provide customized services for customer experience innovation as a 'robot service platform operator' that increases the value of robots between robot manufacturers and customers based on digital platforms such as AI, networks, autonomous driving, and remote control.

KT AI Robot Business Unit Director Lee Sang-ho said, “What’s important in robots now is not just the device itself, but a service platform that provides a comprehensive customer experience,” and “KT will continue to introduce new robot services that solve social problems and innovate customer experiences through its robot service platform.”
