Hyundai has started real-world testing of its AI-powered EV charging robot known as the ACR in partnership with Kia and Incheon International Airport.
The pilot program aims to set the foundation for future robot use for EV charging, with Incheon known for having a large eco-friendly vehicle infrastructure.
Hyundai is working with Kia's Robotics Lab to provide hardware and software solutions for the charging robot's early rollout.
The initial testing phase will involve deploying the charging robot for a fleet of eco-friendly airport vehicles before expanding its use to provide range extension for EV owners while traveling.
