Naver has exported its smart building operation technology, verified at its headquarters '1784', to a large mixed-use building in Japan for the first time.
On July 23, Naver announced that it will apply its smart building technology from 1784 to the Tokyo Midtown Yaesu complex, located in a key commercial area of Tokyo. Team Naver is collaborating with Mitsui Fudosan and NTT East to supply smart building operation technologies, including autonomous delivery robots, a cloud-based robot control system, and digital twin technology.
This project is significant as it marks the first commercialization of technology operated at 1784 for external clients. While smart building technology has been validated at Naver's headquarters, this is the first application in a large overseas complex.
At Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, a cloud-based autonomous delivery robot service will be launched initially. Naver will provide the indoor autonomous delivery robot 'Rookie', a control platform 'ArcBrain' that manages multiple robots simultaneously, digital twin technology, and vision-based location recognition technology 'ArcEye'.
Notably, ArcBrain is a core platform that controls multiple robots to move and perform tasks without collisions by coordinating with building facilities such as elevators and access gates. This allows for the implementation of robot services in existing large buildings without the need for new smart facilities, according to the company.
The three companies plan to expand robot delivery services in the future and broaden their collaboration into various physical AI fields, including indoor augmented reality (AR) navigation and digital twin-based building management.
Naver aims to leverage this project to expand its smart building operation experience gained at 1784 into international markets and to fully launch its smart building solution business.
