Kurly is working to expand its product categories and enhance its delivery services by leveraging its logistics infrastructure built through its fresh food dawn delivery operations. Through this agreement, the two companies will promote the following initiatives based on Kurly's logistics infrastructure: verification of the field suitability of humanoid robots, development of intelligent logistics solutions, and identification of new business opportunities.

According to the agreement, the two companies will conduct a PoC for humanoid robots at Kurly's logistics center. They plan to identify logistics work that can reduce the workload on employees and improve safety through robot adoption. In addition, they will verify the field suitability of LG CNS's robot learning and operation platform, 'Physical Works.' Through this, they will measure and analyze the robots’ work accuracy, execution speed, and the level of efficiency improvements compared to existing work methods.

LG CNS will also work on integrating the automation equipment and logistics operation system at Kurly’s logistics center to streamline the entire logistics process. Previously, LG CNS participated in the construction of Kurly’s Gimpo Integrated Logistics Center and Changwon Logistics Center, acquiring technology for operating ambient, refrigerated, and frozen environments in a single facility, as well as logistics know-how for the dawn delivery service 'Saetbyeol Delivery.'

The two companies plan to identify new business opportunities based on successful cases of humanoid robot implementation in logistics centers and to promote next-generation intelligent logistics based on robotics.

Ha Tae-young, Chief Operating Officer at Kurly, stated, "Kurly is accumulating vast amounts of data from our logistics sites and is enhancing efficiency by utilizing data and AI. We hope to achieve innovation in the logistics field by connecting LG CNS's advanced physical AI technology with on-site data."

Sanggyun Park, Executive Vice President and Head of the Telecommunications, Distribution, and Service Division at LG CNS, said, "By combining Kurly's logistics operation expertise with LG CNS's technological capabilities, we can create meaningful synergy in the field of logistics automation. Through this cooperation, we will develop field-oriented innovative technologies."
