MZ Solution Nears Completion of AI Autonomous Firefighting Robot Development... "Fire Detection, Suppression, and Security Patrol Functions"

MGN Solution announced on the 8th that the development of an AI (artificial intelligence) fire detection and suppression robot through its subsidiary Hyundai Infracore is in its final stages.

This robot can perform initial response within 30 seconds of a fire outbreak through unmanned detection 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is also equipped with fire suppression capabilities that can immediately spray water and extinguishing agents on site.

Additionally, it features fully autonomous driving capabilities capable of overcoming obstacles such as slopes, uneven surfaces, and speed bumps, as well as an AI-based prediction and decision-making system. Accordingly, the company explained, "It also fulfills the functions of security and patrol robots due to rising labor costs, making it usable not only as a fire-fighting robot but also as a security patrol robot."

They added, "Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the volume of logistics has surged, doubling the number of large-scale logistics centers in Korea, and numerous fires have occurred recently," expressing expectations that "it can also be installed in large marts, department stores, hotels, parking lots, and more."

According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the global robot market is expected to grow to $160 billion (approximately 235 trillion KRW) by 2030. Recently, major domestic companies such as Samsung and LG, as well as global big tech companies like Tesla and Nvidia, have been accelerating their investments in robotics.

A company official stated, "Especially since Korea has an industry structure focused on manufacturing, the synergy with robots will be significant," and added, "Robots are expected to become more prominent in industrial sites where humans find it difficult to enter environments involving hazardous chemicals or lithium battery fires." He further said, "We hope that our AI robot, scheduled for completion in May, will play a role in safely protecting the public from fires and disasters in various fields."
