Suprema announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Hyundai Motor Group at SECON 21025 show on 20th March 2025. This partnership will focus on the development of AI and robotics-based total security solutions.
This agreement aims to foster the development of innovative business models in robotics and physical security by combining Suprema’s globally recognized AI-based integrated security solutions with the advanced robotics technology of Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB. Key areas of collaboration between the two companies will include: the development of comprehensive security solutions that integrate AI and robotics; the deployment of autonomous robot services through infrastructure integration; the creation of new security services leveraging robotics technology; and the promotion of standardization across these domains.
The collaboration is expected to accelerate the commercialization of next-generation AI-driven building security services that seamlessly integrate AI security with robotics. These advanced solutions will be deployed across a range of robot-friendly environments, including premium office buildings, general hospitals, and luxury hotels. Powered by Suprema’s AI-based integrated security platform, the system will manage both security and building infrastructure, fostering a safe and efficient environment where humans and robots can coexist. This will support autonomous robot navigation and enable a wide array of robot-friendly building services.
Suprema and Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB have already successfully developed and deployed an integrated security solution that combines Suprema’s AI-based facial authentication access control technology with autonomous robots at Factorial Seongsu—Korea’s first commercialized robot-friendly building. Building on this achievement, the two companies will continue to advance the development of next-generation security services. This includes the implementation of specialized security form factors that leverage robotics hardware and software technologies to further elevate physical security standards.
“This partnership marks a significant milestone as we open a new era of unmanned security services that integrate AI and robotics. We plan to expand our collaboration with Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB to develop AI-driven, robot-friendly building security solutions.”, said Hanchul Kim, CEO of Suprema Inc., “Our system will seamlessly integrate cloud technology, robotics, AI, various sensors, and on-site response solutions. Furthermore, we aim to establish ourselves as a global leader in integrated security platforms featuring AI-driven automation, including advanced technologies such as AI drones and acoustic detection systems.”
“Access control serves a critical function in developing intelligent robot-friendly spaces. Through integration with access control solutions, we will propose a new industry standard in which robots with humans overcome infrastructural issues and take advantage of greater mobility and seamless services,” said Dong Jin Hyun, Hyundai Motor Group Vice President and Head of Robotics LAB. “We aim to expand offerings beyond the existing static form factors within the physical security industry and create new business opportunities through Robotics LAB’s RTS (Robotics Total Solution) model.”
