Emgen Solution Joins On-Device AI Demonstration Project... Deploys AI Fire Detection Robots On Site

Emgen Solution is participating in Gyeonggi Province's on-device artificial intelligence (AI) demonstration project to build a public safety service based on AI fire detection robots.

On July 7, Emgen Solution announced that it will join the consortium for the "On-Device AI Service Demonstration and Expansion Project," promoted by Gyeonggi Province and Gyeonggi Technopark.

This project aims to demonstrate an intelligent public safety service that utilizes domestic on-device AI technology to detect fires early and provide an initial response. The total project budget is approximately 4.88 billion won, and participants include Gyeonggi Province, Suwon City, Hwaseong City, Icheon City, as well as companies specializing in AI, semiconductors, sensors, and robotics.

Emgen Solution is responsible for the physical AI field, utilizing the AI fire detection and suppression robot "Alpha Rover." The demonstration will take place at the Suwon Resource Circulation Center, which is considered a high fire risk site.

On site, fire risks are detected in real time using CCTV, AI video analysis, graphene electronic nose sensors, and on-device AI technology. If abnormal signs are detected, Alpha Rover autonomously moves to the location, secures video footage, and tracks heat sources to provide an initial response. The robot's status and mission results are linked to an integrated control platform in real time.

A key feature of this project is the application of on-device AI technology, where AI analyzes and makes decisions directly on site, rather than relying on cloud servers. By utilizing edge AI based on domestic neural processing units (NPU), the system is designed to enable rapid responses without network delays.

Through this demonstration, Emgen Solution plans to secure public sector references and lay the foundation for entry into public procurement and the smart city market. In the second year, the company also plans to build an AI fire response model that combines mobile robots and automatic suppression equipment by integrating the fixed-type automatic suppression system "Alpha Shot."

A representative from Emgen Solution stated, "This project will become a representative physical AI demonstration case where AI detects fires early and firefighting robots are deployed on site. Based on the demonstration results in the public safety sector, we aim to expand the supply of AI fire response solutions to industrial complexes, logistics centers, resource circulation facilities, factories, and other industrial sites with high fire risk."
