SK shieldus said on the 25th that its data engineering team won second place in the Korean-language track at the "2026 data and AI-based intelligent application development hackathon" hosted by Databricks.
The hackathon was an AI competition for the Asia-Pacific region, with more than 100 teams from Korea, Australia, India, Japan and Singapore participating. The competition ran in three language tracks—Korean, English and Japanese—and participants used Databricks' artificial intelligence (AI) platform technologies, including AI agent development, data analysis and management, and Generative AI features, to build intelligent data applications at a real service level.
The SK shieldus data engineering team unveiled the AI-based app service "Todak Todak" and was selected for second place in the Korean-language track. When a guardian explains a child's emergency situation or health condition by voice, Todak Todak analyzes it and provides tailored response guidance according to urgency, and offers necessary information by linking real-time data such as nearby hospital information and emergency room congestion.
In particular, Todak Todak was developed based on SK shieldus' experience using data accumulated while operating the ADT Caps physical security brand and its AI technology capabilities. It extends AI technologies applied in the physical security field to everyday safety and health, analyzing situations based on public data and presenting optimal response plans in the form of an AI agent.
Meanwhile, SK shieldus is accelerating the advancement of physical security services by expanding the application of AI technologies across ADT Caps services. To precisely detect abnormal situations such as intrusion, loitering and collapse, it is improving video analytics AI performance while enhancing operational efficiency and service quality through AI-based dispatch route optimization and AI filtering of false control signals. It is also using AI for data-driven decision-making systems and task automation.
An SK shieldus official said, "This hackathon was a meaningful experience that both verified our AI technology capabilities and confirmed its value in everyday safety," adding, "We will continue to strengthen ADT Caps' competitiveness with AI and data, while expanding close-to-daily-life safety and care services into areas closer to customers' lives, such as senior care and home security."
