Company Unveils Open SDK, Enabling Developers to Customize and Enhance Smart Home Appliance Experiences
SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) is presenting its Self-Driving AI Home Hub and open Software Development Kit (SDK) at ROSCon 2024, the Robot Operating System Conference, taking place in Odense, Denmark, from October 21 to 23. This showcase provides the company with an opportunity to engage with the global developer community, share its technological expertise and explore new avenues to expand its open platform ecosystem.

Now in its 13th year, ROSCon brings together Robot Operating System (ROS) developers – both beginners and experts – to share and present their newest technologies, innovations and ideas. LG’s on-site booth highlights its SDK and Application Programming Interfaces (API) by providing a step-by-step experience of predefined apps using the API Tool. The company is demonstrating the Self-Driving AI Home Hub’s major features and services, including small talk, storytelling and reading sessions utilizing Optical Character Recognition (OCR). In addition, there will be a demo session where developers can create apps for the Self-Driving AI Home Hub using the open SDK.
The SDK package gives developers easy access to various Open Application Programming Interfaces (OPEN APIs) and programming tools, allowing them to have greater control over the Self-Driving AI Home Hub and seamlessly expand its software functionalities through ROS 2 and SDK, which support standardized interfaces. SDK is now available on LG’s developer site (q9.developer.lge.com), which also hosts a community platform for interaction and an application marketplace where developers can download apps created by others.
LG is also actively seeking partnerships with institutions and companies for collaboration based on the SDK. The company is providing engineering samples for advanced joint development projects and is pursuing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreements. By providing easily accessible programming tools, LG aims to maximize the Self-Driving AI Home Hub’s potential and expand the ecosystem as an open platform. Parties interested can apply for joint development opportunities at q9.developer.lge.com.
Baek Seung-min, head of LG’s Advanced Robotics Lab (CTO Division), will deliver a presentation during the ROSCon 2024 Talk session on October 23 at 17:20 (CEST). The talk will focus on the software’s architecture and SDK performance optimization techniques for LG’s Self-Driving AI Home Hub, based on ROS 2. LG will also invite ROS developers to join the growing ecosystem by releasing its SDK, fostering an environment that promotes collaborative efforts on product development with customers. 
“The introduction of SDK for the Self-Driving AI Home Hub demonstrates our vision of expanding the OS appliance ecosystem with the introduction of downloadable services that permit users to personalize their home appliances,” said Lee Hyang-eun, head of Customer Experience Innovation Division of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “This is the latest phase in our mission to expand the OS appliance ecosystem and lead the industry into a new era of smart home appliances.”
Visitors to ROSCon 2024 can explore the company’s innovative Self-Driving AI Home Hub with SDK and APIs at the LG booth (#19) situated on the ground floor of the Odeon Concert Hall.

World class exhibitors showcase opportunities and challenges posed by frontier-pushing digital and practical health technologies, set to revolutionize patient care for the next decade  Attendees exposed to AI-enabled diagnostic solutions, which expedite disease identification and promote fast access to treatment pathwaysStability, support and opportunity hallmarks of KSA’s high-growth investment environment to promote sustainable health ecosystemRIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Global Health Exhibition, under the patronage of the Saudi Ministry of Health and organized by Tahaluf, continued into its second day with key sessions focussing on the breadth and depth of healthcare innovation.

Sessions included a focus on next generation pharma treatments, surgical technology, and digital health interventions. Advances in hospital technology, including emergency care, rapid stroke support and long term patient management also featured across the event’s five stages and three exhibition halls.
In addition, panel discussions addressed key topics, such as the future of oncology, early detection and advanced therapies, cardiovascular disease, cyber-security in healthcare, and the evolving investment environment. 
“Early diagnosis saves lives,”  said Dr. Danuta Jeziorska, CEO & Co-Founder, Nucleome Therapeutics at the Digital Health Forum. “We are in an era of the convergence of technologies, such as AI and genomics. The future of oncology and diagnosing patients is focused on acting early – on the Stage one of Cancer – or even to prevent it.
“For example, in the UK, the survival rate for Stage one breast cancer diagnosis is almost 100%. But by Stage four, the survival rate is 25%. I’m sitting here today, because I was diagnosed very quickly.”
The Leaders’ Summit heard from leading health sector author Mark Brignall, who discussed the global health workforce crisis, highlighted by the World Health Organization, which reveals acute staffing shortages across state owned health systems worldwide. The crisis, if unaddressed, will make most countries’ health systems unsustainable, with an estimated worldwide staff shortfall of 18 million by 2030, he explained. 
Speaking on a panel entitled “Cybersecurity in Healthcare: Safeguarding Electronic Health Records”, speakers emphasized the importance of maintaining trust when managing data at societal level, so that huge benefits can be unlocked from patient data.
“If people don’t trust us to look after their data safely, and to use it appropriately, they won’t share it with us,” said Simon Swift, CEO, Health Navigator.
“If we can’t access population-wide data, there are many things we can’t do, and we can’t keep populations, or individuals, safe. Trust is a slippery commodity – hard to gain, very easy to lose.”
Speakers also addressed the investment opportunities across the evolving medtech and pharmaceutical landscape in Saudi Arabia.
“Investors are constantly looking for growth,” said Dr Leonid Shapiro, Managing Partner, Candesic at the Investor Forum. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia represents somewhere where there is plenty of support, stability and opportunity.
“One of the biggest ambitions of the Ministry of Health here is to create a sustainable healthcare system. It’s not just about meeting current needs, but thinking about future needs.
“The population of the Kingdom is skyrocketing. Looking after that population can’t be a burden placed on some companies and hospitals, instead it will be necessary to attract investors, to sell services, and to invest in physical services. That’s what creates sustainability, and that’s what’s so exciting about investing here.” added Dr Shapiro.
“As the story of Global Health Exhibition 2024 continues, the event today focused not just on exciting, boundary-pushing technology, but the crunch issues that matter to health stakeholders worldwide,” said Rachel Sturgess, Group Director, Tahaluf.
“Ongoing risks around system sustainability for the long term, the continued threat of cybersecurity compromises as well as the increasing cost of care as population numbers rise are very real challenges which require creative, expert thinking to resolve. The Exhibition is acting as a vital conduit for these important discussions between Saudi Arabia and the rest of the world.”
