Hyundai Movex Co., a logistics system affiliate under Hyundai Group, introduced Roboport, the world’s first elevator dedicated to service robots, at Naver Corp.’s new office building in South Korea, The Korea Bizwire reports. More than 100 service robots will use Naver Cloud and ARC (AI, robot and cloud), a 5G-based multi-robot intelligence system, to automatically hail and ride the elevator. The elevator is the result of a two-year development project in which Hyundai Movex worked closely with Naver Labs and Naver. The elevator system has 10 carriers (robot elevators) using a 128-m-tall vertical guide rail and a traverser. It uses a wide variety of cutting-edge technology, including operating algorithms, collision prevention and a robot-synced standby system to enable the control of numerous carriers at a maximum speed of 90 m/min. The ARC control automatically allocates the number of carriers in sync with the amount of transport to maximize efficiency.
