🤖 Hello, this is Clevi.

From November 19th to 21st, for three days, we attended the 2025 Korea Local Era Expo held at the Ulsan Exhibition & Convention Center.

Let me share the story of the three days we spent showcasing Physical AI at the Gyeonggi-do Pavilion booth. 🙌

What is the 2025 Korea Local Era Expo?

Now in its fourth year, the Korea Local Era Expo is the largest regional policy fair in Korea. Under the slogan 'K-BALANCE 2025', 17 cities and provinces and 47 organizations gathered in one place.

This event, co-hosted by the Local Era Committee, Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and Ulsan Metropolitan City, was a venue to showcase each region's policy achievements and future visions, centered on the 5-Pole 3-Special National Balanced Growth Strategy.

Over three days, about 60,000 people visited, and Ulsan officially promoted its vision as the 'AI Capital Ulsan'.

While the 17 cities and provinces set up exhibition halls by region, we at Clevi were located in the Gyeonggi-do Pavilion.

We participated as part of Gyeonggi-do's advanced industry and AI technology exhibition, and after setting up the booth, I felt a bit excited for no reason.

I was half-excited, half-worried about how many people would be interested in Physical AI.

The Hottest Corner for Three Days — Event with Robots

Follow the Movement

This was an experience where the robot would mimic the visitor's movements in real time. It was the most intuitive way to showcase teleoperation technology.

At first, people cautiously waved their hands, but gradually became bolder, making movements with their whole bodies. It was impressive to see entire families taking turns to experience it.

Rock-Paper-Scissors Match

This was an event where you could play rock-paper-scissors 1:1 with the robot, and it was much more popular than expected.

You could directly experience the process of the AI recognizing and judging the opponent's hand shape through the camera. There were many moments when people, after losing several times, said "Just one more round!", and when someone won, applause broke out from those around.

"So what is this used for?"

Physical AI is a technology where AI, which used to stay in the digital realm, meets the physical world.

Teleoperation is a method where the robot replicates a person's movements exactly, and on-device AI can be thought of as a small AI brain embedded in the robot itself.

In reality, it can be used in fields such as hazardous work environments, manufacturing sites, and disaster response.

There were also questions like "Isn't this taking away people's jobs?", and we answered like this.

"It's not about replacing people, but about protecting them."

Elderly people talking to the robot, people lining up to take selfies, and those surprised saying, "I didn't know such technology was coming out of Gyeonggi-do" — in a place where 60,000 people gathered, we showcased Physical AI directly, received unexpected business inquiries, and spent a meaningful three days amid various attractions such as Ulsan Pavilion's 'AI Capital Ulsan' exhibition and the 5-Pole 3-Special Gourmet Event.

Looking Forward to the Next Meeting

Thank you to everyone who visited the Gyeonggi-do Pavilion booth.

You can meet Clevi again at the Engineering Festival to be held in Magok, Seoul next week. This time, we plan to showcase not only Physical AI but also Coding Agents.

Experience Clevi's even more diverse AI technologies in person!
