SK Intelecs Expands Developer Community for Namu-X Wellness Robot

The First Namu-X Offline Meetup Held

SK Intelecs announced on April 2 that it has begun expanding the "Namu-X" developer community, based on an open ecosystem, in order to discover new businesses in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) wellness.

SK Intelecs first held its inaugural offline meetup on March 28 at its Jongno-gu headquarters in Seoul, targeting participants from last year's Namu-X hackathon. This event was organized as part of Namu-X's open ecosystem strategy, aiming to strengthen the cohesion of the developer community, which has been primarily online, and to facilitate greater interaction among participants. A significant number of participants from the first hackathon, held in December 2025, attended, confirming the potential for expanding the community across both online and offline platforms.

The event was attended by students majoring in AI, computer engineering, and software. Lectures were given on the current state of the venture capital (VC) market, major investment cases, and trends within the startup ecosystem and investment landscape. These provided practical insights for aspiring developers preparing to launch startups, receiving positive feedback from attendees.

Assuming the commercialization of humanoid robots, participants actively exchanged views on the future roles and technological/service directions of wellness robots, as well as the potential for expanding into personalized healthcare and daily life-focused services. The event also included discussions on the future development direction of the Namu-X wellness robot, allowing for the sharing of a variety of perspectives.

A representative from SK Intelecs stated, "This offline meetup has served as an opportunity to further vitalize the Namu-X developer community," adding, "We plan to continue strengthening our relationship with developers through a variety of programs going forward."

SK Intelecs plans to hold the second Namu-X hackathon within the first half of this year. By establishing organic connections between the hackathon, online community, and offline meetups, the company aims to continuously expand its developer community pool from an open ecosystem perspective.
