On June 4, Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST, President Lee Byung-kwon) entered into a MOU with Shanghai Industrial Technology Institute of China for the purpose of conducting R&D on robotic technologies and commercializing research results. With that, KIST set out to introduce its robotic technologies to the Chinese market.
Robotic technology is one of key areas of R&D where KIST puts a priority. Earlier this year, KIST established the Robot & Media Research Institute in order to make intensive efforts on the development of robotic technologies. As a matter of fact, KIST's source technologies on smart robots have already been applied to commercial products launched in the domestic market and Europe.
Shanghai Industrial Technology Institute was established to promote the commercialization of scientific research results, and has strengths in areas of strategies for industrial technologies development and technology dissemination.
The MOU is expected to let KIST successfully commercialize its source technologies of robots in China paving the way for Korean robotic technologies to make foray into the global marketplace.
