KRAFTON Unveils Ludi 0.2: A Leap Toward Socially Intelligent Robots

KRAFTON, the creator of the blockbuster game PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, has announced Ludi 0.2, its latest socially intelligent robotic platform. The release, showcased at the 2026 Bay Area Robotics Symposium (BARS) at UC Berkeley, builds on the company’s two‑decade experience in game AI to bring advanced human‑robot interaction into the physical world.

Ludi 0.2 focuses on five core capabilities:

• Social Intelligence – better interpretation of human intent and social cues.
• Memory & Reasoning – sustained context and adaptive decision‑making.
• Tool Coordination – seamless use of navigation, manipulation and interaction tools.
• Gesture Interpretation – recognition and response to human gestures.
• Physical Movement – smoother, more adaptable locomotion.

These features enable robots to understand spoken instructions, maintain conversational context, ask clarifying questions, and adjust to changing tasks—mirroring the dynamic environments that KRAFTON’s virtual worlds already support.

The platform is part of a longer roadmap that includes Ludi 1.0, a unified foundation model integrating perception, dialogue and physical action. Ludo Robotics, a KRAFTON subsidiary headquartered in Palo Alto with an R&D lab in Seoul, aims to deploy such systems in homes, workplaces and public spaces.
