LG Electronics Inc. will develop service robot solutions with local partners Woowa Brothers Corp. and Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement by November.
The firms would develop technologies related to serving bots at restaurants and apply them to Woowa Brothers' robot rental business.
Woowa Brothers, South Korea's top food delivery app operator, runs 85 serving robots at 68 restaurants.
LG and Woowa Brothers had collaborated in February in the business of delivery and serving robots.
Then two firms developed robots together using LG's artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and Woowa Brothers' expertise in service-platforms.
LG Electronics has been boosting its robotics capabilities and has been acquiring bot manufacturing and developing firms. In January, it opened a robotics lab in Boston in the United States.
Local companies have been expanding the use of robots as part of a social distancing campaign to minimize the number of workers who have to be physically present at work.
Woowa Brothers' Kim Yo-seob, who is in charge of robotics development, noted that although unmanned delivery services were available before the pandemic, the current situation fueled the demand for contact-free orders.
