CES 2024 in 30 seconds: HL Group Amazes the World
That was a quick look at HL’s booth at CES 2024. The short video shows how much attention HL received from the visitors. CES 2024, the largest electronic products exhibition in the world, began on January 9th in Las Vegas, NV. HL Group was honored with four innovation awards. The awards reflect the spotlight that the amazing technologies of HL are getting from many people.
In response to such popularity, HL prepared an open-stage booth, demonstrating various autonomous driving technologies in daily life based on the theme “Imagine Every Move.”
In particular, what caught the attention of visitors to this CES 2024 was the demonstration of the self-driving parking robot ‘Parkie’ installed in the HL booth! In addition to Parkie, the portable recognition sensor ‘Beetle’ and ‘Tire-Sync’, which recognizes tire wear, temperature, vehicle body load, and road surface conditions, also received a lot of attention as winners of the CES 2024 Innovation Award. CES 2024, where HL's ambitious vision for future mobility was revealed, let's dive into the exciting scene together!

After Parkie: Discovering New Rooms
Parkie is a self-driving parking robot equipped with Level-4* autonomous driving technologies. The parking robot can identify obstacles, its driving route, and the number plate of vehicles and can recognize and judge the size, weight, and shape of the vehicle.
Moreover, Parkie does not need additional utilities or infrastructures to function, making it versatile in any environment. The parking robot suggests a new solution to problems in parking by being thirty percent more efficient in terms of parking area usage than conventional mechanical parking facilities.
*Level-4 autonomous driving refers to self-driving vehicles that can avoid danger without any intervention from the driver
After Tire-Sync: Making Roads Safer
HL Klemove’s Tire-Sync received the Best Innovation award in the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category. The sensor consists of two major technologies: tire monitoring solution and surface monitoring solution.
The tire monitoring solution can identify the temperature, load, and wear of tires in addition to the pressure provided by the conventional Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)*. The solution allows drivers to manage tires in greater detail, preventing accidents caused by tires.
The surface monitoring solution identifies how wet or dry the road is and obstacles including potholes and black ice.
*Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): an autonomous sensor attached to tires, providing information on tires such as air pressure and temperature
Let us hear from our senior research engineers Kim Changwon and Yoon Daeyeon at HL Klemove’s AD Sensor R&D Center, striving for a safer future with Tire-Sync.
After Beetle: Adding Safety to Daily Life
Another award-winning product from HL Klemove is Bettle, a portable radar for a safer daily life. It helps prevent accidents by detecting potential threats such as cars or electric scooters around the user.
Being as small as an Apple AirPods, the compact size makes it easy to use whenever and wherever the user needs it. Furthermore, it supports wireless communication via an mobile application and can alert users in real-time.
Beetle was originally designed as a radar for robots. Seong Min and Lee Minhee from HL Klemove’s AD Sensor R&D Center tell us what made Beetle shift from a radar for robots to being portable.
Greeting the visitors at the booth is a large ten ten-meter-wide wide and 4.5 meters tall LED screen. The screen displayed videos of the future mobilities of which HL Mando and HL Klemove dream.
In particular, the part in which the protagonist of the video drives around the road featured the functions of MiCOSA from HL Mando. The video showed MiCOSA’s HDVC function that reacts to a box suddenly falling onto the road by braking and changing the lane by itself, and its PHM function that makes self-diagnosis on the vehicle for potential problems, attracting visitors' eyes.
Furthermore, MiCOSA’s Data-Driven Contents function that integrates Amazon Web Service (AWS)’s IoT technology identifies the road condition and the traffic in real-time, interacting with the driver.
On January 9th (local time) at the HL Mando booth, the company held a ceremony commemorating the signing of a mobility-software-related agreement with AWS, announcing its expansion to the software market.
Also, HL Mando’s self-driving total solutions and its High-Performance Computer (HPC) equipped with a high-performance radar, high-resolution camera, and software intrigued the visitors. The company also showcased three next-generation HPC products equipped with Qualcomm’s System on Chips (SoCs) at the CES 2024 venue.
HL Group presented the visitors to CES 2024 with the future mobility it imagines to be. The three-day march grabbing the visitors’ eyes and ears is coming to an end. Don't miss out on the CES 2024 vlog!
