Hello, this is NAVER Cloud Platform on ncloud.com, the cloud that anyone can easily start using.

After being operated in beta for a while, ARC eye has finally been officially released! 🎉

The first commercialized service of the “ARC (AI — Robot — Cloud) system” that NAVER Cloud Platform and NAVER LABS have been focusing on!

1. Multi-robot intelligence system based on NAVER Cloud and 5G network It’s been said that internet availability lowers the illiteracy rate in that area.

To put it in the perspective of ARC, it’s a system that provides the internet to the world of robots to make them smarter! Like real-time integration of spatial and service infrastructure, ARC contains all the latest algorithms and high-precision data needed for the coexistence of robots and humans.

Among them is ARC eye 👀, a service that becomes the eyes of all robots and tells them exactly where they are and how to get to their destination, even indoors where GPS is not available. 👏

2. What services does ARC eye offer?

🔶 Build digital twin data for indoor and outdoor spaces❕

🔶 Increase efficiency and accuracy with AI-based API geolocation APIs for building data❕

1. Utilizing ALIKE-M

ALIKE-M is a digital twin data creation solution for multifunctional indoor and outdoor spaces developed by NAVER LABS. It utilizes wheeled mapping robots and wearable mapping devices.

2. Fully managed service

By providing a system that can store and process large amounts of data, it provides a fully managed service to build and utilize digital twin data, from data processing to API creation.

3. Data management for spatial tiers

You can store and manage data by tiering your space.

4. Segmented action steps by function

It breaks down every step of building a digital twin by function so that when you need to advance an area of your digital twin or make changes to a part of it, you can work on the minimal areas needed, increasing your work efficiency.

5. Reasonable cost

You’re only charged for the resources you use, without a separate basic fee, so you can manage your costs reasonably and not be burdened with large investments in the early stages of your business.

6. Response to large-scale services with cloud computing

Based on cloud computing, you can handle large-scale data storage and processing, as well as rapid changes in API usage. You can respond flexibly to various needs to keep your business running reliably.

ARC eye product, equipped with “these features!”

✅ Mapping device support

✅ Data processing provided step-by-step

✅ Space storage customized to your needs

✅ Data conversion feature for creating 2D maps

✅ Dashboard for project management

3. How can I use it for actual business?

Example 1 : Indoor/outdoor navigation

You can configure navigation applications in shopping malls and subway stations where GPS doesn’t work.

Example 2 : AR docent

You can configure applications that can provide realistic information using 3D content in museums and exhibition halls.

Example 3 : Service robot operation

You can build a service robot operation system that knows its real-time location. The service robot sends a geolocation API through the image it sends, and the robot follows the expected path to provide the service.

ARC, one giant intelligence for all robots!

It will be applied to NAVER’s second office building, which is under construction as the world’s first robot-friendly building.
