Vodafone, a leading technology communications company in Europe and Africa, has struck a deal with South Korea’s Hyundai Robotics to develop service robots that can be sold in the European market.
According to Aju Business Daily, Hyundai Robotics revealed that it has inked a letter of intent (LOI) with the British telecom firm during a trade fair that was held in Hanover, Germany. The agreement was for cooperation on the joint development and marketing of service robots that will be created based on 5G and 6G mobile technology.
In the development, it was reported that it was indicated in the agreement that the companies will be applying Vodafone's 5G artificial intelligence and its big data technologies to Hyundai Robotics' service robot hardware as well as its autonomous driving software.
Moreover, Hyundai Robotics will be upgrading its program that controls multiple robots at the same time based on Vodafone's 5G communication infrastructure. The upgrade will also enable real-time data exchange between the robots for their efficient cooperation without the need for human intervention.
Once the robots are built, the target is to sell them to European clients. At any rate, Vodafone and Hyundai Robotics would be testing the quarantine robots that they will jointly build in German university hospitals before finally supplying these 5G-based robots to nursing facilities, hotels, restaurants, and the rest of the hospitality industry in Europe.
“We will try to promote the development of the European service robot field and lead the market by combining Hyundai Robotics' service robot and 5G communication technology," Hyundai Robotics head of service robot unit, Seo Kyung Suk, said in a statement on Tuesday, May 31.
The Korea Economic Daily further reported that Vodafone and Hyundai Robotics will also work together to create new service robots for fit for the next generation. The partnership will also allow the Korean firm to officially enter the European robotics market.
During the robotics fair in Hannover, Hyundai Robotics actually won a deal with two European companies - the Mozo Robotics of Spain and RobotART of the Netherlands. They each placed an order of 300 and 600 service robots, respectively, from Hyundai Robotics.
