Technical trends of URCsTechnical trends of URCs

Development of URC Core Technology

• Development of robot core technologies through URC technology-developing projects

- Networked robot infra, SW and HW platforms, built-in modules, sensors, and others

• Development of commercial robots via the URC pilot business project

- Networked robots with focusing on practicality and economic efficiency (2006)

Technology development for Defense

• Development of horse-like robots for surveillance, detection, etc.

- Robot platforms based on network communication

- Project terms : 2006~2011

< Information service robot > < Cleaning robot > < Puppy robot >


Industrial Trends of URCsIndustrial Trends of URCs

Establishing foundation for the URC industry

• Consistent URC pilot business runs to create initial demand

- URCs placed in 64 households and 2 post offices in the Seoul

metropolitan area (2005)

- URCs deployed in 850 households and

20 public offices nationwide (2006)

• Training URC personnels

- Support programs to promote college/university IT centers

(KAIST Intelligent Robot Center, 2003~)

- Blue-ocean type expert-fostering project (Network-based

intelligent robot field, 2006~)

< Households>

< Public offices>


Industrial Trends of URCsIndustrial Trends of URCs

Laying the foundation for the industry • Policy researches to improve and readjust robot-related laws and

institutions

- Policy research on robot-related law system through the

KAIRA (2005~2006)

Paving the way for the popularization of robots

• Promoting popularity for URC and robot researches by holding robot

contests

- Trial Ubiquitous Robot Contest (Nov., 2005)

- The 1st Ubiquitous Robot Contest (Sep., 2006)


Trends of Service Robots Trends of Service Robots

Technology development projects

• Develop core technologies and robot platforms through growth engine and frontier

business projects

- Develop various robots-Industrial (ultra precision, automobile), personal (cleaning,

puppy), professional (dealing with disasters)-and core source technologies within 10

years

• Develop core parts through the project to support local part manufacturers

• Carry out civil and military joint project to develop robots commonly needed

Programs for the foundation • Utilizing regional infra by nurturing hub robot centers (Gyeongnam,

Daejon, Pohang regional areas)

• Fostering experts and promoting standardization

< Industrial robot > < Albert Hubo >< Surveillance robot >


Trends of Service RobotsTrends of Service Robots

URC Exhibitions and Contents

• Enlarge, diversify, and globalize robot contests and exhibitions

- Held the 2006 Robo World, an event with exhibitions, conferences, and contests all included (October, 2006)

Building and Approval of a Standard Classification System and its Publication

• Construct a standard classification system to secure confidence in policies

- Classified as network-based robot, manufacturing robot, professional service robot, personal service robot, robot components, and other parts

• Publish an approved URC industry statistical report in cooperation with related organizations

-Traditional industrial robot manufacturing industry changed into => URC manufacturing industry
