[Digital Times, Kim Soo-yeon] Naver presented the 4th Industrial Revolution Comprehensive Technology that includes robots, autonomous vehicles, and wearable devices in this year`s debut. It is read not only as a software ecosystem leader as an Internet service provider but also as a podium for gaining control of the hardware ecosystem that will bring various fusion technologies in the fourth industrial revolution era. It is a desire to compete in earnest with global dinosaurs who have already transformed into a comprehensive company that includes software (SW) and hardware (HW). Earlier, former CEO Lee Hae-jin emphasized in his debut event last year, "In the future, technology fights with global companies such as Google will be the key."
Naver held a developer conference `Debut 2017` at COEX, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on October 16 and released new technologies and new products such as nine robots developed by the company and wearable location tracking devices for children.
◇ 9 kinds of robots released ... `Leading the AI Popularization` groundwork = Naver’s debut of 2017 is a robot. The robotics research and development (R & D) project announced last year is now entering a period of visible performance. This is an area where the industry has gained attention in R & D achievements, as Naver`s big data collection and analysis software competence and robots hardware capability are synergistic areas.
Naver has announced last year`s robot R & D project that it needs to control space and mobility elements in order to implement "Living Environment Intelligence" (Ambient Intelligence), IT service that naturally mixes with life. Ambient intelligence means that technology in daily life recognizes and understands people, circumstances, and environment, and naturally provides people with necessary information and behavior.
Naver announced `Around` as a robot that will lead the popularization of `indoor autonomous mobile robot` on this day. Unlike previous autonomous mobile robots, which were too expensive to commercialize, the cost of parts has been greatly reduced, and it is now being introduced into a bookstore in Busan with the electric cart "Air Cart". Around the height of the child`s height, the robot goes around the bookstore, and the customer puts the book on the shelf. The air cart is applied to the muscle strength-enhancing robot technology equipped with the force sensor. The force sensor detects the intention of the operation of the cart driver such as motion and direction. For this reason, the user need not learn the operation method separately.
In addition to the air and air carts, the robots released this year include △ improved version of interior map making robot M1, ④ four-wheel balancing motorized skateboard personal last mile mobility △ robot arm embidex △ animal type 치 cheater robot △ jumping robot `△` Tusk Bot `which is a wheel robot that goes up the stairs and` TT-bot `which is an autonomous driving type. Naver Labs is directly involved in designing and processing robot parts.
"We will develop robotic technology so that we can get into life more," stated Song Chang-hyun, Naver`s chief technology officer and Naver`s research and development subsidiary, Naver Labs. "This means people are not tied to tools, "He said. Naver Labs is currently working on robot industry-university cooperation with MIT, Illinois University (UIUC), Seoul National University and Korea Tech (Korea Technology Education University). We are also actively investing in start-ups that have the necessary positioning technology for robots.
◇ Naver autonomous driving technology is at the `world`s highest` level at the end of the year. ↑ The autonomous-drive technology that Naver sees as the core of "living environment intelligence" It is a plan. In the fourth step of autonomous driving, only the operation of the large fram, such as the setting of the destination and driving mode of the vehicle, is performed by the person, and the remaining detailed driving is carried out by the machine. Song, CTO, said, "We will be able to carry out four-step autonomous driving in a complex urban environment."
Hyundai & Kia Motors, Seoul National University, etc. None of the research institutes reached the fourth stage. Naver currently has three levels of autonomous driving technology in which drivers must operate manually in an emergency. Naver is the only Internet service company in Korea to obtain a provisional permission for temporary driving on the road by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs.
◇ Vehicle information system Expanding Naver ecosystem with `open platform` = Expanding ecosystem by expanding ecosystem through open platform in aggressive investment of IT big companies such as Google, Apple, Tesla and Kakao.
Naver will transform its vehicle information system `Away`, which was launched in August, into an `open platform` system that enables external companies to freely use services and hardware in the first half of next year.
◇ AI position tracker `Aki` on wrist ... Naver launches AI-based wearable device `Aki` which tracks the location of young children as a second-to-market hardware product following AI speaker wave. The wristwatch-shaped Aki was developed to enable accurate positioning even in an indoor space where the GPS signal is not easily accessible.
AI learned about the place and the situation where the child repeatedly visited, and Samsung`s wireless communication chip "EXINUS" was installed. It will be released in January next year.
Meanwhile, the debut, which started with Naver`s in-house developer technology sharing event in 2006, has been turned into an external event since 2008 and has evolved into a place where domestic and foreign developers share the latest IT technology trends and development know-how. Over the past 10 years, cumulative attendance has reached 99,900. 398 domestic and international business and academic speakers have shared experience in 364 sessions. The technology announced in the debut is the best way to reflect future trends, but it is a place where future technologies can be found. NoSQL and HTML5 in 2011, technology information and development experience of the latest trends shared with every audience, including GPU Computing, 2013 Machine Learning, 2014 Object Internet, 2015 Robotics, 2016 Artificial Neural Network Translation and interactive AI Engine done.
