Naver Labs’ AGI Triumph: A New Age in Campus Automation!
The Emergence of a Robotic Campus
In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, Naver Labs’ “Cloud Ring” campus stands as a testament to the incredible potential of autonomous systems and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
This state-of-the-art robotic campus, where a staggering 70% of operations are autonomously executed by robots managed by sophisticated AGI systems, marks a significant milestone in technological advancement.
“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs
Naver Labs, with its groundbreaking campus, is changing the face of technology and operations.
A Glimpse into Naver Labs’ Cloud Ring
The South Korean technology giant Naver has inaugurated the first phase of its campus in Sejong, a project that has been meticulously planned and executed.
Spanning 290,000 m² with a capacity of 270 MW, the site is designed to host 600,000 servers to run Naver’s cloud services.
An investment of nearly $500 million reflects the ambitious scale and vision of the project, embodying a Chinese proverb:
“When the winds of change blow, some people build walls, others build windmills.”
Naver’s Vision: Melding Robotics with Cloud Technology
At the heart of the Cloud Ring campus is a robotic automation system, exemplified by the GaRo and SeRO robots.
Capable of heavy asset movement and server asset management, respectively.
The spatial and service infrastructure integrates these machines in real-time.
Through the AI-Robot-Cloud (ARC) and the Adaptive Robot Management-System (ARM-System) developed by Naver Labs.
This innovative approach to operations showcases Naver’s commitment to pioneering in the field of AI and robotics.
Reminiscent of a quote from Albert Einstein:
“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”
Sustainable and Earthquake-Resistant Design
In alignment with global sustainability goals, Naver’s Cloud Ring uses natural wind for cooling.
Solar and geothermal energy, and recycles residual heat for various purposes.
The campus aims for LEED v4 Platinum certification, reflecting Naver’s dedication to environmental responsibility and innovative design.
Naver’s Forward-Thinking Approach in Technology
Naver is not just building a data center; it’s creating a hub for technological innovation.
The Cloud Ring’s focus on Sovereign AI and Cloud technology is attracting attention globally.
Kim Yu-won, the CEO of Naver Cloud, describes the campus as set to lead the way for AI and cloud businesses expanding into various sectors.
This aligns with Naver’s recent focus on developing its HyperClova X.
An advanced Large Language Model (LLM), and potential collaborations with Samsung for developing AI Neural Processing Units (NPUs) to optimize large-scale GPU operations for AI.
The Road Ahead: HyperClova X and Beyond
As we delve deeper into the world of autonomous technology and AGI, Naver Labs’ Cloud Ring campus serves as a shining example of what the future holds.
