The signing was attended by Heui Won Yang, President and Head of the Research &amp; Development (R&amp;D) Division at Hyundai Motor Group; Hag Jae Lee, President and CEO of Incheon International Airport Corporation; and other officials from both parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis collaboration will serve as a significant milestone in verifying the practical benefits of future mobility technologies by combining Hyundai Motor Group\u2019s robotics and AI capabilities with Incheon International Airport Corporation\u2019s extensive operational experience,\u201d said Heui Won Yang, President and Head of the R&amp;D Division at Hyundai Motor Group. \u201cHyundai Motor Group aims to offer a more convenient and enhanced mobility experience through a customized automatic charging solution that can be used in any setting. We also look forward to working with Incheon International Airport to build various mobility infrastructures and lead the future mobility ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The endeavor leverages the Group\u2019s advanced robotics and AI to streamline EV charging and accommodate the expected passenger influx after the \u2018Incheon Airport 4.0 Era\u2019 expansion and transformation into an \u2018Aviation AI Innovation Hub.\u2019 By providing seamless, secure EV charging, the partners will work towards making Incheon International Airport a model of innovation and efficiency in sustainable transport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect this partnership to significantly enhance service and improve operational efficiency at Incheon International Airport,\u201d said Hag Jae Lee, President and CEO of Incheon International Airport Corporation. \u201cMoving forward, Incheon International Airport will continue to advance as the world\u2019s leading digital airport, based on its excellent infrastructure and technological capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through this project, the Group and IIAC will focus on ensuring the safety of the ACR, which received Korean certification (KC) last year, attesting to its stability and quality. It also obtained CE certification by meeting the European Union\u2019s basic safety requirements, ensuring safer use for customers.<\/p>\n<p>The partners plan to accelerate the adoption of electrified vehicles by expanding EV automatic charging services to various domestic and international transportation infrastructures such as airports, seaports and railways.<\/p>\n<p>The Group\u2019s Robotics LAB has already undertaken several ACR demonstration projects, including the \u2018robot-friendly building\u2019 initiative at Factorial Seongsu in Seoul, which began in 2024. Building on its robotics experience, the Group plans to expand the ACR\u2019s usage to enhance security for Incheon International Airport, which holds the highest national security grade, and to introduce the Robotics Total Solution (RTS).<\/p>\n<p>The Group will provide robotics hardware and software solutions, support the construction and performance optimization of the ACR, and offer smart parking solutions. They also plan to identify charging robot scenarios that take into consideration the airport\u2019s characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>IIAC will provide the airport site as a demonstration environment for the development of AI-based EV charging services. They also plan to support verification of the charging robot\u2019s usability and collect and provide user feedback data.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Hyundai Motor Group<\/strong><br \/>\nHyundai Motor Group is a global enterprise that has created a value chain based on mobility, steel, and construction, as well as logistics, finance, IT, and service.
