The first ever web platform-based robot operating system from Naver: all you need to know
The world’s first robot operating system (OS) built on a web platform is set to be unveiled by Naver, a massive South Korean internet company.
According to reports, Naver will be present at the “LEAP 2024” conference this week in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with other major international tech companies including Google, AWS, Apple, Meta Platforms, and others.
According to its representatives, Naver will introduce the “ARC mind powered by Whale OS,” the first online platform-based robot operating system, at the event to assist robotics developers globally in creating a variety of robot services.
According to the Yonhap news agency, the ARC mind would enable the integration of current apps with robot services and have a web application programming interface for the command, reasoning, and mobility of robots.
Naver said that it intends to first equip its robots with the ARC mind, which is lighter and quicker than the original robot operating systems, and then develop an open environment.
On this occasion, the business will also introduce a next-generation robot platform that it co-developed with Samsung Electronics.
Together, the two businesses have combined Samsung’s semiconductor technologies, such as system on a chip and image sensors, with Naver’s OS and software solutions to create a robotics edge computing platform.
