Separation, expansion, and reorganization of the dedicated research institute for racial intelligence and robotics

LG Electronics has carried out an organizational restructuring to significantly strengthen its research and development capabilities related to artificial intelligence in order to lead the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

LG Electronics established the 'Artificial Intelligence Research Institute' and the 'Robot Advanced Research Institute' in the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) division as of June 1. The 'Intelligence Research Institute,' which has been researching speech recognition, image recognition, and sensor recognition, has been expanded and reorganized by separating it into the 'Artificial Intelligence Research Institute' dedicated to artificial intelligence and the 'Robot Advanced Research Institute' dedicated to robots.

The 'AI Research Institute' plans to build an AI platform that recognizes, infers, and learns from various data, such as customer product usage information and weather, using voice, video, and sensors, and apply it to all of the company's businesses, including smart home appliances, mobile devices, TVs, automotive parts, and robots.

The 'Artificial Intelligence Research Institute', formerly located in the 'Convergence Center', has moved under the 'Software Center', which leads the development of enterprise software platforms such as webOS, and will focus on advancing deep learning-based artificial intelligence platforms and laying the foundation for business expansion.

The 'Robot Advanced Research Institute' develops advanced technologies for intelligent robots within the 'Convergence Center'.

Since the beginning of this year, LG Electronics has introduced 'DeepThinQ™' smart home appliances equipped with deep learning technology and is collaborating with Incheon International Airport Corporation to commercialize airport guide robots and airport cleaning robots. Recently, we have been pursuing open innovation in collaboration with the wearable robot startup SG Robotics.

LG Electronics President and CTO Ahn Seung-kwon emphasized, “We will integrate core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, such as artificial intelligence, big data, and IoT, with our existing businesses to evolve into a new business paradigm.”
