To celebrate the grand opening of the indoor delivery robots, Jeju Shinhwa World held an event offering various prizes such as accommodation vouchers and Shinhwa Waterpark tickets to those who named the AI indoor delivery robot. The robot was given the nickname “Ttotttot,” meaning a smart robot derived from a Jeju dialect word that means warm. Additionally, a social media event is being held for Jeju Shinhwa World visitors until the 20th of next month, where participants can take a certification photo with the robot and upload it to SNS for a chance to win prizes such as laptops, Bluetooth speakers, and Jeju Shinhwa World hotel accommodation vouchers through a drawing.

Lee Sang-ho, head of the KT AI Robot Business Group, said, “By introducing multiple AI indoor delivery robots at Jeju Shinhwa World, we have demonstrated the competitiveness of the KT robot platform,” and added, “KT will continue to develop customer-tailored robot services and lead the growth of the domestic robot market in the future.”
