About
About NAVER LABS Corp.
NAVER LABS connects robots to mapped buildings through ARC, a cloud-based multi-robot intelligence system running over low-latency networks. ARC Eye localises machines against high-precision indoor maps where GPS is unavailable, while ARC Brain plans movement and tasks for many robots and links them with doors, lifts and other building services.
Rookie 2 uses this infrastructure to carry parcels, drinks and meals inside NAVER's 1784 headquarters, communicating with users through mobile services and taking lifts or ROBOPORT transfer systems. The company also develops city-scale digital twins, visual localisation, web-based robot operating systems, autonomous-driving technology and human-robot interaction. This work treats spatial data, cloud compute and physical infrastructure as shared layers rather than loading every capability onto each robot.

Events
- 2025-10-16 - Capability - NAVER announces development of a robotics AI foundation model through NAVER LABS
NAVER said it was developing a robotics AI foundation model to expand robot capabilities and create a web-based environment where robot services could be built more easily. Contemporary coverage tied the humanoid effort to a joint project involving NAVER LABS, MIT, and KAIST, with the resulting system designed to connect to NAVER's ARC robot cloud platform and ARC Mind operating environment. This is the clearest recent humanoid and physical-AI capability signal surfaced for NAVER LABS in the current pass.

The building provides a named operating environment for service robots and robot-cloud systems. Robots operated inside the headquarters workflow, making 1784 a live testbed rather than a concept site. The deployment places NAVER's technology into maritime autonomy, underwater robotics or marine inspection workflows beyond a lab-only setting.
