Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) has joined forces with Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC) to deploy artificial intelligence (AI)-based electric vehicle (EV) automatic charging robots (ACRs) at the airport as part of a pilot project.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) allowing HMG to test its ACR system at the airport, laying the groundwork to expand the use of robotic EV charging to other airports. Incheon International Airport already has plans to install over 1,100 EV chargers by next year, making it an ideal partner to test HMG’s latest AI-based charging technologies.
