Proving the Technology for Multi-Space Unmanned Operation
VD Company announced on the 26th that its cleaning robot 'Cleaver' and delivery robot 'Flashbot' have passed the 'Elevator Boarding Robot Safety Assessment' conducted by the Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement (KIRIA).
The 'Elevator Boarding Robot Safety Assessment' is a system that technically verifies whether a robot can safely board and move within elevators inside buildings, based on the 'KS B 7317' standard. The assessment criteria include: obstacle detection and protective stop, prevention of tipping and falling, overcoming height and level differences, battery safety, and elevator control safety.
VD Company officially proved that both products are equipped with indoor autonomous navigation and a wireless communication-based elevator integration system, and that fully unmanned robot services can be operated even in environments where inter-floor movement is required.
According to VD Company, passing this safety assessment is significant because it demonstrates the 'technology of spatial connectivity' that enables robots to overcome the physical constraints of buildings.
VD Company CEO Ham Pan-sik said, "With robot technology that organically connects various spaces and tasks, we will transform both our customers' daily lives and their businesses."
