Hurim Robot, Temi 'Equipped with SKT AI'..."B2C·B2B Capabilities Up"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Hurim Robot announced on the 12th that it has signed a ‘NUGU SDK (Software Development Kit) License’ contract with SK Telecom. Through this contract, Hurim Robot’s ‘temi’ can now use NUGU’s voice recognition-based AI services. Additionally, B2B corporate clients can utilize customized NUGU-based applications developed and installed to use temi more diversely on-site.

To equip temi with NUGU, Hurim Robot collaborated with the Israeli company ‘Robotemi Ltd.’ headquarters, conducting about a year of technical cooperation among the three companies (Hurim Robot-SK Telecom-Robotemi). In 2019, Hurim Robot and SK Telecom signed a strategic partnership and mutual technical support MOU to promote the domestic AI-based robot business using temi.

Since November last year, Hurim Robot installed and piloted temi equipped with NUGU at SK Telecom’s ‘T Factory’ in Hongdae, Seoul. They have been concurrently conducting additional development to improve temi’s service level using data collected on-site. Through this, Hurim Robot developed a customized application called ‘Standard Content’ that enhances the utilization of NUGU’s services for temi’s B2B corporate clients.

‘Standard Content’ is a platform application that allows temi users to edit the services and content they want to use directly. Corporate and organizational users can utilize this to customize temi’s use in various work environments such as corporate lobby lounges, exhibition experience centers, museums, and retail stores. It provides information, product introductions, and location guidance, as well as services offered by NUGU such as encyclopedias, emotional conversations, radio, and news.

A Hurim Robot official stated, “NUGU not only has excellent Korean language recognition capabilities but also offers various practical service contents for daily life, so it is expected to be warmly welcomed by domestic users,” adding, “Through the ‘Standard Content’ application based on NUGU, temi can be utilized in a wider variety of locations.”

He continued, “Hurim Robot and SK Telecom will continue to collaborate to discover additional content in the future and will maximize the usability of temi equipped with NUGU.”

Meanwhile, the ‘Standard Content’ application is available for download from the temi-exclusive app store, ‘temi store.’ Individual users can install the ‘NUGU’ AI from the temi store and use NUGU’s basic services for free.
