Rookie
A waist-high indoor delivery robot built on Naver Labs' AROUND platform that rides dedicated elevators and gates between floors, with its brain in the cloud rather than on board. A commercial Rookie 2 with some on-board localisation was being prepared for late 2026.

Why it matters
Runs as a 'brainless' robot whose navigation is computed in Naver's ARC cloud over 5G, in what Naver calls the world's first robot-friendly office building, with robot-only elevators.
Real-world use
Delivers parcels, coffee and meals across Naver's 1784 headquarters in Seongnam since 2022 (Naver aimed for about 100 robots that year); deployed at Tokyo Midtown Yaesu in July 2026 (eDaily, Aug 2026).
