GS E&C Establishes 'Proof of Concept Center' for Construction Robot Verification
Pre-Deployment Verification of Construction Robots:
Testing Performance and Productivity in Advance
Considering Workers, Materials, and Process Sequence
Ensuring Integration with Site Operations and Workflow
GS E&C announced on the 22nd that it has established a 'Proof of Concept (PoC) Center' at its GS E&C Technology Research Institute in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, for the purpose of construction robot verification.
The PoC Center is designed to test the performance of robots and identify a variety of variables that may arise during the application of robots at construction sites in advance. Through prior verification, the center checks the division of roles between workers and robots, determines the sequence of operations, movement routes, and operating conditions in advance, and designs the necessary processes for on-site application.
Currently, various construction robots, including concrete leveling robots, are being tested at the PoC Center. The verification focuses on tasks requiring both high quality and productivity, such as leveling the floor to ensure flatness after concrete placement.
GS E&C stated that, after examining the effectiveness and usability through the operation of the PoC Center, it is planning to further enhance its functions and consider establishing additional, larger-scale PoC centers.
During the prior verification stage, the company will comprehensively review factors such as reduction of repetitive work to lessen workers' burdens, consistency of quality, mitigation of safety risks, feasibility of nighttime and unmanned operations, and connectivity with subsequent processes. Verification will then be conducted at actual sites, and technologies proven effective will be applied to other sites as part of a systematic framework.

Meanwhile, GS E&C is also operating an innovation consultative council (ICC), in which related departments participate, to systematically discover physical artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Through the ICC, the company identifies onsite productivity bottlenecks and demand for technology, explores startups and domestic and international robot and AI technologies capable of addressing these needs, and, if necessary, cooperates through joint technology development or investment. After validating the effectiveness through prior verification, these solutions are then deployed at actual construction sites.
