South Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia are targeting office supply chain roles with the launch of their DAL-e Supply robotic, which can not only autonomously deliver packages around a building but also handle tasks such as fetching coffee.
The brand new supply bot from the Hyundai/Kia Robotics Lab just isn’t primarily based on the launched in 2021, however a mannequin launched that was constructed on Hyundai’s Plug & Drive platform that includes “clever steering, braking, in-wheel electrical drive and suspension {hardware}” in a single modular unit.
The DAL-e Supply additionally options 4 Plug & Drive modules, with enhanced suspension to make sure that your cup of Joe inside its stomach arrives stirred however not shaken. Although the brand-new bot may not match its ancestral height, it has evolved to hold a greater capacity for cargo, now able to accommodate up to 16 cups of espresso or packages weighing as much as 10 kilograms (22 pounds).
Sensors onboard enable the supply bot to intelligently navigate complex or congested environments, safely evading hazards while calculating optimal routes in real-time for expeditious delivery. While current prototypes operate at speeds of up to 1.2 meters per second (approximately 2.7 miles per hour), this new model boasts a pace that is only marginally slower than its predecessor’s.

The earlier model enables wireless communication with a building’s good system servers, allowing it to summon an elevator by analyzing occupancy levels using its camera and AI capabilities before dispatching or waiting for the next available elevator. Without requiring human intervention, the device is able to move freely across the designated area and relocate itself to its intended destination. South Korean automaker Hyundai/Kia has officially announced that its latest vehicle model will boast an innovative feature, allowing seamless integration with smart building technologies such as elevator and door management systems in modern structures.
Upon arrival at its destination, the integrated camera leverages AI-powered facial recognition technology, boasting a remarkable 99.9% accuracy rate, allowing for seamless authentication of the intended recipient without the need for passwords or keycodes. The robotic cargo doors then automatically swing open to facilitate efficient delivery. A transparent interior allows the user to view contents, while a retractable storage tray enables easy access and convenient portability.

Gone are the cutesy curves of outdated design, replaced by sleek and modern squares. While maintaining a columnar layout, subtly softened by rounded corners. The rounded “eyes” have been replaced with a blocky matrix display, while the halo-like interface above yields to an 11.6-inch high-definition touchscreen showcasing system status information and face-like animations designed to foster buyer engagement.
The D-ALE Supply robot is specifically designed for indoor meal, beverage, and parcel delivery services, with a planned debut shortly after the opening of IGIS Asset Management’s Factorial Seongsu office complex in Seoul, South Korea, during the second quarter of this year? You’ll get an early look at the service bot in action.
