Gyeonggi Province '4th Pangyeo Autonomous Driving Mobility Show' Opens on the 15th

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hoon] The '4th Pangyo Autonomous Driving Mobility Show (PAMS 2020),' where you can see autonomous driving mobility technologies and services of the future at a glance, will open from the 15th to the 17th for four days in the Pangyo Techno Valley complexes 1 and 2.

Hosted by Gyeonggi Province and jointly organized by KINTEX and the Next-Generation Convergence Technology Research Institute, this event marking its 4th edition is an opportunity to see at a glance autonomous driving mobility technologies and products such as autonomous vehicles, drones, and robots applicable to non-face-to-face services that have received attention recently due to COVID-19.

The event will feature numerous domestic promising autonomous driving mobility startups including ▲Bearrobotics ▲VD Company ▲Dogugonggan ▲Exarobotics ▲Twiny ▲Steammaker ▲Ubipay ▲SWEM, with various programs including demonstrations of non-face-to-face services combined with autonomous driving technology, exhibitions of autonomous driving technology in daily life, test drives of Gyeonggi Province's Zero Shuttle, autonomous driving rallies, and delivery mobility contests held over the four days.

To prevent COVID-19 infection, the event can be viewed simultaneously online, and events such as autonomous driving rallies and test drives can only be attended by personnel selected through online pre-registration. The Pangyo Autonomous Driving Square set up in front of Exit 3 of Pangyo Station can be visited on-site after completing electronic or written entry logs.

■ Venue for Demonstration of Non-Face-to-Face Services Combined with Autonomous Driving Technology '#UNTACT #CONNECT'

'Untact Connect (#UNTACT #CONNECT),' prepared to promote commercialization of non-face-to-face technology of autonomous driving startups, is the core content of this event and is a program that provides individuals and businesses requiring non-face-to-face services due to COVID-19 opportunities to experience autonomous driving mobility services.

Service demonstrations will be conducted at selected business locations and around Pangyo through advance recruitment. You can experience various autonomous driving services including autonomous disinfection robots for non-face-to-face quarantine, non-face-to-face serving robots for food businesses receiving many customers, autonomous security robots, and high-efficiency cleaning robots combining autonomous driving technology and industrial vacuum cleaners. The demonstrations can also be viewed on the Pangyo Autonomous Driving Mobility Show YouTube channel after the event concludes.

■ 'Pangyo Autonomous Driving Square,' Where You Can See the Present and Future of Autonomous Driving Mobility Technology at a Glance

From the 15th to the 17th, the 'Pangyo Autonomous Driving Square,' where autonomous driving demonstration results of Pangyo Zero City and autonomous driving mobility technologies are displayed, will be set up in front of Exit 3 of Pangyo Station.

Here, you can experience autonomous driving technologies and application cases being developed in Pangyo Zero City, introductions to demonstration participating companies, non-face-to-face autonomous driving mobility products that can be applied in the post-COVID era, and Gyeonggi Province's key autonomous driving policies. Considering that the venue is an open space anyone can visit, the event space is designed with a one-way traffic flow, and COVID-19 prevention measures such as visitor QR code check-in and regular disinfection are implemented.

■ 'Autonomous Driving Rally' Demonstrating Goods Delivery Service Using Autonomous Driving Mobility

On the 17th, the final day of the event, an autonomous driving rally showcasing continuous goods delivery service using drones, autonomous vehicles, and delivery mobility will be held, linking companies, universities, and research institutions possessing autonomous driving mobility technology.

For this purpose, the organizing committee has designated the section from Bot Detention Park ↔ Avenue Franche Pangyo Branch ↔ Exit 3 of Pangyo Station as a rally-exclusive zone. The rally proceeds in four stages: ordering goods through a dedicated app, first-stage air delivery via autonomous driving drones, second-stage delivery via autonomous vehicles on public roads, last-mile delivery using small delivery mobility. The event, recreating complete smart mobility services, will be broadcast live on YouTube in its entirety.

■ 'Gyeonggi Province Autonomous Driving Delivery Mobility Contest' for Nurturing Future Autonomous Driving Technology Talent

To nurture future autonomous driving technology talent, the 'Gyeonggi Province Autonomous Driving Delivery Mobility Contest' will also be held. Conducted for students majoring in and club members from autonomous driving-related departments at universities, the contest will have the final 5 teams conduct final evaluations on the 17th, the final day of the event, based on a pre-provided autonomous driving delivery mobility platform.

In addition, the 'Gyeonggi Province Zero Shuttle Test Drive,' a general visitor participation-type event where you can experience future autonomous driving transportation environments, and the 'Autonomous Driving Challenge,' a competitive technology development event for activating Pangyo Zero City, will also be held.

Im Moon-young, Director of Future Growth Policy at Gyeonggi Province, said, "The key to the current COVID era where we must coexist with COVID-19 is non-face-to-face technology, and autonomous driving mobility is at the center of that change," and added, "Through this event, I hope many people will experience the future of non-face-to-face living with autonomous driving technology applied in advance."
