SK Intellix announced that its wellness robot 'NAMUHX' has received the prestigious 'IR52 Jang Young-sil Award,' recognized as the highest honor in the domestic industrial technology sector. The award acknowledges the product's technological capabilities, which combine artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to manage air quality and health monitoring.
On August 25, SK Intellix revealed that NAMUHX was awarded during a ceremony held in Yongsan, Seoul. Key figures in the development, including Im Tae-bin, head of the Production Quality Division, and Ryu Gi-cheol, head of AX Tech, attended the event.
NAMUHX features the ability to detect indoor air pollutants and autonomously move to purify the air. It can control functions via voice using a large language model (LLM) without needing an internet connection. The robot also includes a non-contact feature that measures five health indicators.
Additionally, it offers 'Safe Care,' which monitors user safety in real-time, and 'My Health Care,' which supports personalized health management. To ensure data privacy, it has obtained the ISO/IEC 27001 certification for international information security management systems.
The Jang Young-sil Award is hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and organized by the Korea Industrial Technology Association. Since 1991, it has recognized technological innovations and new technology products.
This award signifies the expanding role of wellness robots, moving beyond simple household assistance to encompass health and safety management.
