GS Engineering & Construction said on the 8th that it signed a business agreement on the 5th with Daedong Robotics for "research and development cooperation for construction site automation using artificial intelligence (AI) field robots."
Daedong Robotics is a specialized company that develops, manufactures, and provides integrated operation services for industrial robots. The business agreement was signed to jointly develop robots optimized for construction environments and to conduct on-site demonstrations of AI Autonomous Driving robots owned by Daedong Robotics.
The two companies plan to review the potential use of robots in areas where practical problem-solving is needed at construction sites, such as material transport and repetitive tasks. Through on-site demonstrations, they will verify the robots' performance and safety step by step and increase the feasibility of actual site deployment.
They will also work on developing robot models suited to site conditions. At construction sites, workspaces change frequently, and materials, personnel, and equipment move in complex ways, requiring safety, durability, on-site adaptability, and operational convenience that differ from general industrial environments.
A GS Engineering & Construction official said, "The digital transformation and automation of the construction industry are key tasks to improve safety and productivity at sites," adding, "Through on-site demonstrations of AI Autonomous Driving robots, we will verify their feasibility for real-world adoption and secure robot technology optimized for construction environments to strengthen smart construction competitiveness."
