[천지일보=손지아 기자] LG U+ announced on the 4th that it is managing the atmospheric environment in Jeonju in real time through an autonomous driving robot connected through a 5G network.
Earlier, LG Uplus decided to introduce an autonomous driving robot that can measure air quality and monitor pollutant emissions 24 hours after signing a business agreement with Jeonju City in September last year. Six autonomous robots and 20 fixed-type atmospheric detectors were put into residential areas such as the industrial complex in Palbok-dong, Jeonju-si, the chronic district, and the innovative city.
The’Environment Management Robot’, which is equipped with AI and runs autonomously around Jeonju, collects atmospheric information in real time while autonomously driving a course of about 1km, and quickly transmits and analyzes environmental information acquired during unmanned patrols to the 5G network. The environmental management robot produced together with the tool space delivers atmospheric information to the Gwangju MEC center through a 5G network. Through the 5G network of ultra-high speed and ultra-low latency, even in an emergency situation requiring remote control, it is seamlessly connected and can move safely.
In the Gwangju MEC (Mobile Edge Computing) Center, which is connected to the 5G network and a dedicated line, an integrated control operation server and a robot control, agency system, video control and AI analysis server are in operation. Through MEC, it is possible to reduce the delay time of 30 to 40 ms in LTE to a single digit. The data processed at the Gwangju MEC center is transferred to the control center in Jeonju through a dedicated line, and in an emergency, the control center can give a command to control the robot.
The substances that environmental management robots collect in real time from the atmosphere are ▲ fine dust (PM2.5) ▲ ultrafine dust (PM10) ▲ carbon monoxide (CO) ▲ nitrogen dioxide (NO2) ▲ sulfur dioxide (SO2) ▲ hydrogen sulfide (H2S) ▲ ammonia ( NH3) ▲ These are volatile organic compounds (VOC). Through this, it is possible to understand the levels of these substances contained in the atmosphere, and easily identify the origin of not only phenomena that cause spring air quality problems such as yellow dust, but also when odors occur. Each patrol of the environmental management robot takes about 30 minutes, and patrols are conducted from 9 am to 6 pm every day.
Since the world’s first 5G commercialization on April 3, 2019, LG U+ has been focusing on developing 5G-specific services and launching the’XR Alliance’, a content alliance with global telecommunications companies, to grow the 5G ecosystem in the B2C field. From this year, the second year of 5G commercialization, various types of innovation models are expected to emerge as local governments expand the introduction of ESG. Accordingly, it is planning to lead digital transformation in all fields of the industry by increasing 5G use cases in the B2B field such as environmental management robots. .
Suh Jae-yong, manager of LG U+’s smart infrastructure business, said, “For two years since the world’s first 5G commercialization, we have been striving to discover B2B and B2G cases where 5G promotes the advancement of industry and public sectors.” He said, “We will build cooperative relationships with domestic and foreign partners to create an expanded 5G ecosystem.”
