Samsung C&T unveils next-generation artificial intelligence in its smart home

Samsung’s construction business unit, Samsung C&T, plans to introduce next-generation smart home technology based on artificial intelligence (AI). The company plans to launch this technology next year at the earliest. On Feb. 15, Samsung opened the Raemian Artificial Intelligence (RAI) Life Hall, an upgrade of the previous Raemian Home Lab-Smart Life Hall. The venue showcases AI technology for a more convenient everyday life. The newly opened demonstration building includes services that use future technologies such as AI, robots and drones. Dedicated spaces such as a home office and fitness area have also been set up. Samsung C&T expects these technologies to be ready for the market within 2021, when the trial process is completed.

The building is essentially divided into public and confidential areas. The public area consists of a smart parking lot and some rooms of an apartment. Samsung C&T has installed a parking guidance system that directs residents to a free parking space near their apartment as well as sends a robot to the parked car, which helps one carry groceries. The cars are recognized by cameras and license plate recognition systems. At the entrance to the apartment is a camera for facial recognition as well as a thermal imaging function. Other surveillance cameras film the growth of plants in the shared smart farm and transmit them directly to each apartment.

In the public area, robots guide visitors to the individual rooms, while in the in-house café, robots prepare drinks and serve guests. In a show apartment, Samsung applies the new AI to existing smart home functions. The artificial intelligence detects and learns the habits of the residents and automatically controls the corresponding functions in the home. Controls by the AI include lighting, temperature and entertainment, which are switched according to patterns for eating, relaxing and sleeping. In light of the Covid 19 pandemic and an increase in time spent at home, Samsung C&T has also integrated a home office/homeschooling area into the home. In addition, a multi-function room for hobbies, fitness and home theater has been added.

To import or sell electronic equipment in South Korea, this is subject to KC certification (also called KC-Mark). The KC-Mark or KC certificate is roughly equivalent to the European CE mark and applies to 730 different products. KC certification, or Korea Certification, is primarily about identifying and containing a potential risk to consumer health and safety. We will be pleased to provide you with non-binding advice regarding Korea Certification and would be delighted to carry it out for you.
