Naver Unveils 'Cloud Brain' Connecting Robots, "Applied to Second Headquarters"

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Naver unveiled its AI Robot Cloud (ARC), which will serve as the 'brain' for all robots providing services in its second headquarters, on the 25th.

On the same day, Naver introduced ARC at the developer conference 'DEVIEW 2020.' ARC is a cloud-based 'multi-robot intelligence system' and a core system aimed at leading the popularization of robots that Naver envisions. It connects AI and cloud robots in real time to support robots in providing services to people more efficiently in actual spaces.

ARC is mainly composed of 'ARC Eye' and 'ARC Brain.' The 'Eye' functions as a person's eyes by accurately informing the current location and route indoors. The 'Brain' plans and executes the movement, positioning, and service performance of all robots collectively. The core of ARC is that it enables service provision without relying on expensive sensors and allows continuous updates. ARC acts as the brain for all robots, reducing the manufacturing cost of each robot.

Naver plans to accelerate the popularization of robot services starting with integrating ARC into its second headquarters, the 'world's first robot-friendly building,' scheduled for completion next year. The second headquarters, located in Bundang, Gyeonggi Province, is being constructed as a structure where robots can move freely. Employees will enter the building through facial recognition, and AI will take meeting minutes, making the space itself a robotic assistant for employees.

Seok Sang-ok, CEO of Naver Labs, stated, "ARC, developed based on the Naver Cloud Platform, is scheduled to be first commercialized at Naver's second headquarters, the world's first robot-friendly building under construction," and added, "We look forward to the active participation of talented professionals in various fields."
