Dongjak District has opened a "Smart Robot and AI Digital Learning Experience Zone" on the basement level of its district office, with full operations underway since May 11.
The zone was developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the AI Foundation and the Seoul Business Agency, with the goal of giving residents everyday access to AI and robot technology.
Any resident visiting the district office at 70 Jangseungbaegi-ro can use the zone free of charge, with no reservation required.
The space features 10 advanced devices in total — four robots and six AI units — offering a wide range of interactive exhibits.
On the robot side, visitors can try four experiences: a robot integrated control system (including a 3D navigation simulation of the building), a guide robot (including commemorative photo printing), a patrol robot (a simplified patrol experience featuring fire detection), and a humanoid robot (including motion control).
Alongside this, six AI digital learning devices — supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Seoul Metropolitan Government and focused on practical, everyday applications — round out the zone. Those experiences include smart walking (a virtual stroll through Dongjak District landmarks), an education kiosk (a payment simulation), an AI coding robot (an interactive AI experience), AI robot baduk, a VR virtual experience and a companion robot.
The zone operates from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, weekends and public holidays, accommodating working residents and families alike.
"We hope this experience zone will deepen residents' understanding of future technologies and help bridge the digital divide," a district official said. "We will continue to expand hands-on programs that use advanced technology to provide real, practical benefits to our residents."
