Naver to develop 5G robots with KT and Intel
Naver has announced that it will develop 5G-enabled service robots in partnership with South Korean operator KT and Intel. The agreement was signed at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Yonhap news agency reports. The partnership would allow Naver Labs, a R&D subsidiary of Naver, to use Intel's computing service based on KT's 5G communication network. KT will provide its Edge Cloud infrastructure with its 5G network, which will serve as a basis for the service robots to send and receive data.

"The commercialization of 5G technology would create new business opportunities, and smart factories and service robots serve as such examples", said Kwon Myeong-sook, president of Intel Korea. "KT looks forward to leading the global industry by fusing our 5G commercial network and the Edge Cloud infrastructure with advanced technologies from Naver and Intel", KT’s Lee Yong-Gyoo added.
