April 14, 2011 - According toSouth KoreaThe Joongang Ilbo newspaper reported on October 10 that South Korea has fully joined the big tech companies'Humanoid RobotThe goal is to become the "world's most powerful nation" by 2030.
Korea's Ministry of Industry, Trade and Resources (MITR) announced the official establishment of the K-Humanoid Robot Alliance, which brings together more than 40 industry, academic and research organizations, including the followingSeoul National University, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Pohang University of Science and Technology, and other AI development teamsThe company's main business is the development and production of robots, as well as robot manufacturers such as Rainbow Robotics and Airobot, and major corporations such as Doosan Robotics, LG Electronics, and HD Hyundai Robotics.
The report pointed out that although South Korea has demonstrated its technological potential by continuing to win prizes in various international competitions.However, the scale of investment and human resources is still grossly inadequate compared to countries such as the United States and ChinaThe K-Humanoid Consortium has been established. Therefore, the Government recognized the need to integrate the capabilities of the humanoid ecosystem and decided to establish the "K-Humanoid Robotics Consortium" to bring together the strengths and resources of industry, academia and research.
The organization will focus on the development of robot AI, which is equivalent to a robot's brain, with the goal of developing a "basic model of robot AI" by 2028. At the same time, Korea will develop core components such as sensors and actuators. Robot makers and component companies will cooperate to developForce and torque sensors for fine object manipulation, tactile sensors for hand touch, and lightweight, flexible actuators..
Korea's Ministry of Industry will utilize the budget related to robotics research and development, infrastructure, and evidence to support companies' technology development. In order to increase this year's robotics budget by 200 billion won (note: about 1,021 million won at the current exchange rate), the Ministry of Industry plans to hold ongoing consultations with related ministries and the National Assembly.
