[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] AI robots roam around delivering mail, parcels, and food and beverages, while in meeting rooms, instead of the youngest employee taking notes, AI automatically generates the meeting minutes. A work environment where temperature, lighting, and ventilation are automatically adjusted year-round is standard.

Naver is commercializing its second office building ‘1784’, which serves as an experimental ground for future-oriented spaces. It is promoting the popularization of ‘5G Cloud’ implemented through a 5G specialized network and Naver Labs’ ‘Multi-Robot Intelligence System (ARC)’.

Commercialization Targeted for 2023

On the 8th, Naver Labs and Naver Cloud held the ‘Team Naver Meetup’ event and announced that they will commercialize the ‘ARC’ and ‘5G Specialized Network Package’, created by integrating technologies from various fields, by 2023. The 1784 building and the second data center ‘Gak Sejong’, scheduled for completion in 2023, are massive technology testbeds where advanced technologies such as AI, cloud, 5G, digital twin, robotics, and autonomous driving converge.

At 1784, various services are being implemented, including the autonomous driving robot ‘Rookie’, ‘Clova FaceSign’ which allows facility access through facial recognition, automatic meeting minutes creation and sharing via ‘Clova Note’, and temperature, lighting, ventilation control and food and beverage ordering through the ‘Naver Works app’. At ‘Gak Sejong’, new experiments such as robots assisting server managers and autonomous shuttle buses are underway.

Naver emphasized that through commercialization efforts, all companies can transform their office buildings into future-oriented spaces. A key feature is the continuous advancement of technology, allowing new functions to be added through software updates.

"Buildings, Now Centered on Software"

Seok Sang-ok, CEO of Naver Labs, explained, "Future spaces will be centered not just on buildings but on software that enables new experiences within them," and added, "Since ‘Team Naver’ was the first to attempt something like 1784, many future-oriented spaces that will emerge will also start from Naver’s technology."

Naver Labs and Naver Cloud will commercialize ‘ARC Eye’ and ‘ARC Brain’, the core and backbone of 1784 and future-oriented spaces, by 2023. CEO Seok said, "Naver Labs views ‘ARC’ as a system that will lead the popularization of robots, aiming to enable any robot manufacturer worldwide to efficiently integrate with large-scale spaces and service infrastructures through ARC."

Park Won-ki, CEO of Naver Cloud, stated that many of Naver’s technologies such as Naver Works, Clova, and data platforms are already being serviced through Naver Cloud, and next-generation technologies under research and advancement at Naver Labs, including brainless robots, digital twin, and VL (Visual Localization), are also approaching commercialization.

CEO Park said, "Naver Cloud’s ‘5G Cloud’ enables ultra-low latency communication between devices, real-time analysis and processing, and real-time service application," adding, "Innovative services based on ‘5G Cloud’ will be possible in various fields such as healthcare, airports, and logistics."
