Hyundai Motor Group is conducting various demonstration projects for autonomous robotic technologies in South Korea. Initial tests focused on maritime applications, where the MobED (Mobile Eccentric Droid) autonomous robot was tested aboard the moving vessel Hyundai Dubai. The trials, held in collaboration with several maritime organizations, These trials aimed to prove the robot's ability to navigate land-designed technology through the vibrations and uneven surfaces of a sea environment. Following these maritime tests, the company expanded its demonstrations to urban infrastructure. In Siheung, Gyeonggi Province, a A consortium including Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Wia, and Hyundai Engineering & Construction has launched a smart parking pilot project at the Hillstate The Wave City apartment complex. Using LiDAR-equipped robots capable complex in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province, under the South Korean government's smart city regulatory sandbox program. The project utilizes specialized Hyundai Wia parking robots—consisting of transporting thin, wide units that slide under a vehicle—equipped with LiDAR sensors. These robots can lift and move vehicles weighing up to 3.4 tons, tons at speeds of up to 1.2 m/s. Drivers can request their vehicles via kiosks or wall pads. Through this pilot, the project consortium aims to increase parking capacity by 20% to 50% within existing footprints, reduce carbon emissions by minimizing vehicle idling, and improve safety through by separating pedestrian and vehicle paths. Data collected during the Smart City Regulatory Sandbox. project will be used to develop standard operating models and propose improvements to relevant laws and regulations.
