On the 21st, Galaxy Corporation hosted an event themed 'ONE WORLD. ONE PEACE.' at New York's Times Square and Rockefeller Center, the company announced on the 23rd.
At Times Square, a group of 16 humanoid robots presented a "Peace Flash Mob" performance set to K-pop music. Choi Yongho, CEO of Galaxy Corporation, also featured his eldest son, Choi Wooju, in a "Peace Hug," where the boy embraced one of the humanoid robots.
At Rockefeller Center, the company revealed for the first time the humanoid 'Schofieldstein,' modeled after CEO Choi himself. Choi Yongho stood face-to-face with Schofieldstein and engaged in a dialogue exploring the relationship between humans and robots.
During the exchange, Schofieldstein said, "I am not here to replace you. I have come to live together with you," and added, "Teach me your humanity."
The Rockefeller Center event was attended by representatives from over 40 media outlets, including NBC News, CBS News, People, and Billboard.
CEO Choi explained that the company name "Galaxy Corporation" was inspired by the name of his eldest son, Choi Wooju. He stated, "By the year 2035, when my son turns 15, robots will become a part of our daily lives just like smartphones are today," adding, "What matters going forward is what kind of relationship we will build with robots."
He continued, "From myself to us, from us to the world. That is 'ONE WORLD. ONE PEACE.' The future of AI and robotics must ultimately begin with humanity."
