## Key takeaways

- Ludo Robotics presented Ludi 0.2 at the 2026 Bay Area Robotics Symposium at UC Berkeley on October 30, 2026.
- Ludi 0.2 adds social intelligence, memory and reasoning, tool coordination, gesture interpretation and smoother physical movement to the Ludi 0.1 system introduced in August 2026.
- Krafton CEO CH Kim said Ludo Robotics is exploring how AI can better understand people and interact with them naturally in the physical world.
- Ludo Robotics is headquartered in Palo Alto with an R&D lab in Seoul, and Ludi 1.0 is in development as a unified perception, dialogue and action model.

Krafton's Ludo Robotics subsidiary presented Ludi 0.2, the latest version of its robotic intelligence system, at the 2026 Bay Area Robotics Symposium at UC Berkeley on October 30, 2026. [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/krafton-develops-socially-intelligent-ai-that-helps-robots-better-understand-people-302923488.html) said the system is designed to help robots interpret human intent, respond to feedback and adapt to changing environments.

## What Ludi 0.2 Adds to Robot Interaction

[Krafton](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00000iz/krafton) said Ludi 0.2 builds on Ludi 0.1, which was introduced in August 2026 and combined a vision-language model for reasoning and dialogue with navigation and manipulation capabilities. The new version advances social intelligence, memory and reasoning, tool coordination, gesture interpretation and smoother physical movement in supported environments.

"For nearly two decades, KRAFTON has built games and virtual worlds where people and intelligent systems interact in real time," said CH Kim, CEO of KRAFTON and Ludo Robotics. "Through Ludo Robotics, we're building on that experience to explore how AI can better understand people and interact with them naturally in the physical world."

Kangwook Lee, Chief AI Officer of KRAFTON and CTO of Ludo Robotics, said: "Robots are becoming increasingly capable of performing physical tasks, but understanding and responding to people remains a major challenge." He added that Ludi 0.2 represents another step toward bringing conversation, reasoning and physical action together.

Ludo Robotics is headquartered in Palo Alto, with an additional R&D lab in Seoul. Its scientific leadership includes Chief Scientist Rob Nowak, an IEEE Fellow and UW–Madison professor, and Human-Robot Interaction Lead Yea-Seul Kim, a former UW–Madison assistant professor of Computer Sciences.

The company's longer-term research roadmap includes Ludi 1.0, a next-generation foundation model in development that aims to integrate perception, dialogue and physical action within a unified system.

## Krafton's Robotics Work With NVIDIA

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Krafton deepened a multi-dimensional NVIDIA partnership in June 2026 that includes physical AI and robotics collaboration via Ludo Robotics. The same records list PUBG Ally, a Co-Playable Character powered by NVIDIA ACE, and the Smart ZOI NPC system in inZOI among the partnership's projects.

## Earlier Krafton Launches

Krafton released a free PlayStation 5 trial of its action-adventure game 'Waltz and Jam' on October 29, 2026, offering tutorial and early content, according to Prtimes. The Times of India reported that Krafton launched the Battlin app, a tournament platform for BGMI players, with registrations open until November 1, 2026. Ign reported that Krafton's mobile runner game CookieRun India will shut down permanently on December 18 at 11:30 AM IST.

## Ludi 1.0 Development Continues

Krafton said Ludi 1.0 is currently in development, with the goal of enabling robots to maintain a shared understanding of tasks with people while communicating and acting in real time.
