Description
Description | Korea will invest 50.4 billion won ($33.5 million) over the next five years to develop core technologies needed in AI-based humanoid robots with universities and local tech companies. The program, led by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and set to run until 2030, is part of the government's K-Moonshot initiative. LG Electronics Inc. and WIRobotics will develop advanced robot platforms and humanoid robot models for mass production. Research institutions including major universities and LG AI Research will develop an AI model enabling humanoid robots to understand visual, physical, verbal, and behavioral information. Solid-state batteries by LG Energy Solution Ltd. will be used. Robots will be tested in hospitals and nursing facilities to verify their ability to perform long-term and complex human support tasks. |
