Autonomous Delivery Robot Startup Neubility Launches ‘Door-to-Door’ Service in Apartment Complex with Samsung C&T

On the 15th, autonomous robot startup Neubility announced the launch of its ‘Door-to-Door’ robot delivery service in collaboration with Samsung C&T.

The service is currently in pilot operation at the Raemian Leaders One apartment complex in Seocho-gu, Seoul. When residents place orders at nearby shops or at community cafés and restaurants within the complex, the autonomous delivery robot ‘Neubie’ delivers food and beverages directly to their front doors.

Since June 2024, Neubility has been operating an outdoor robot delivery service, delivering to the entrances of apartment buildings within the Raemian Leaders One complex. The service has now expanded indoors, with robots autonomously calling elevators and navigating through the building to deliver items directly to each household’s front door.

Neubility’s technology enables autonomous navigation even without GPS or LiDAR, utilizing a multi-camera-based V-SLAM mapping system, sensor fusion, and AI-based object recognition to provide optimized indoor delivery services. A notable achievement is the integration with elevator systems to enable seamless floor-to-floor operation.

Hyung Siwon, Strategy Lead at the DxP Business Team of Samsung C&T’s Engineering & Construction Group, stated:

“This is Korea’s first commercialized robot delivery service that delivers food and beverages (F&B) from outside retail stores and on-site community facilities directly to the front doors of residents within an apartment complex. It marks a significant milestone toward realizing fully integrated indoor-outdoor autonomous robot services.”

Lee Sangmin, CEO of Neubility, added:

“This collaboration with Samsung C&T represents an important leap toward the universalization of robotic technology that Neubility envisions. We plan to expand this service to various locations such as golf courses, hospitals, and logistics warehouses in the future.”
