Naver Launches World's First 5G Brainless Robot at Second Headquarters

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Naver Labs will implement the world's first 5G brainless robot technology in its second office building, scheduled for completion by the end of this year.

On the 19th, Naver Labs announced that it has received approval to relocate its 5G experimental station, originally authorized for robot research at its office, to the second office building currently under construction. Naver plans to advance technology for 5G-based autonomous robot services at the building scale.

In 2019, Naver Labs demonstrated the world's first 5G brainless robot technology to the world at CES, the world's largest consumer electronics show. At that time, Naver Labs attracted attention by maximizing the 'ultra-low latency' performance applied to the robot.

Naver Labs plans to gradually enhance the technology, starting with controlling multiple robots in the large-scale space of the second office building by linking 5G to the cloud-based robot control system 'ARC.' Originally, robot devices have sensors that act as the brain, but ARC replaces the brain function for all robots.

The robots that will operate in the second office building were designed by Naver Labs itself. The company has filed as many as 230 patents. Among them, 22 are related to the world's first 'building equipped with a cloud robot system.'

According to Naver Labs, the case of maximizing the characteristics of the 5G network, such as ultra-low latency, ultra-connectivity, and ultra-high speed, and applying it to robots is a technology level that is outstanding even when compared globally. Naver Labs also stated that the government's announced 5G specialized network policy is expected to be a major catalyst for the spread of this technology.

Seok Sang-ok, CEO of Naver Labs, said, "Naver's second office building, which integrates advanced technologies, will be an experimental space showcasing infinite potential such as robots, 5G, cloud, and artificial intelligence (AI)." He added, "Once the 5G specialized network, which will be supplied after institutional preparations, is applied, the foundation for leading smart buildings and digital twin technology will become even stronger."
