The two companies will proceed in stages, including ▲ discovering robot logistics service business opportunities, ▲ building premium elevators with OLED signage, and ▲ promoting differentiated smart home and building services.
In the robotics field, robot-elevator linkage is advancing robot delivery services, such as autonomous robots taking elevators and delivering packages or food to customers' desired locations. Based on this, various business opportunities are being explored in apartment complexes, office buildings, hospitals, etc. Additionally, we will apply cutting-edge signage technology, such as OLED displays, inside elevators to maximize user convenience and strengthen our premium image.
Song Seung-bong, CEO of Hyundai Elevator, said, “The convergence of our elevator open API and untact technology, which we are developing, and LG Electronics’ autonomous robot and smart building solution that applies signage technology, will create synergy in various areas such as apartments, hotels, and buildings,” and “The two companies will open the ‘vertical e-mobility’ market together in the future.”
LG Electronics President Kwon Soon-hwang said, “We will discover high value-added spatial services through collaboration in the areas of robotics, signage, and home and building solutions, and provide differentiated experiences.”

In the Edge AI Era, 'Self-Thinking Sensors' Transform Intelligent Factories
With the proliferation of edge AI, manufacturing is undergoing transformation into intelligent factories that analyze data on-site in real time. STMicroelectronics' latest MEMS sensors measure diverse information including vibration, temperature, and acoustic signals, and execute machine learning within the sensor itself through in-sensor AI to assess anomalies in real time. This enhances predictive maintenance efficiency and reduces network load. Developers can directly embed trained models in MLC and ISPU-based sensors, and development difficulty has been lowered through tools such as MEMS Studio. Sensors are growing in importance as the neural network of AI, and smart sensors are evaluated as a core enabling technology for intelligent factories.
