KEY PROJECTS

Advanced Integrated Intelligence for Identification
Construction of a social security platform for efficient and advanced identification of missing children and seniors suffering from dementia through intelligent analysis, prediction and tracking of multimodal biometric information obtained and established from real sites of incidents.

CAS-Surgery 4.0 : Target-selective fluorescence image guided micro surgical robots
Surgery 4.0 is an information-guided digital surgery, in which all the information about patient is collected, processed and presented to surgeon to decrease the time and cost, and improve the outcome. In this project, two essential technologies of the surgery 4.0, the advanced imaging and the advanced instrumentation, are developed.

Development of endoscopic catheter robot for epidural neuroplasty (Dr. Hujoon)
Dr. Hujoon is a teleoperated robot manipulating endoscopic catheter for epidural neuroplasty. Epidural neuroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure for treating herniated disk

Fundamentals for Robotic Platforms in Connected Active Space (CAS)
A CAS (Connected Active Space) is a future space in which users are supported by various IoT and robotic technologies. Those are connected to each other and provide intelligent and physical support to the users. In this project, we present the prototypes of the connected services in usual life which will be available in a near future.

Development of a Life-Care Robot for Supporting Dementia Patients
In this project, we develop a life-care robot for supporting dementia patients. Developing robotic care service for patients with mild dementia using robot AI technology can give an essential help for not only dementia patients but also their caregivers.

Hyper-connected Extraordinary-intelligent Robotic avatar (HERO)
Development of the core technology for human-friendly robot services to support the safety, convenience and health of elderly households in an aging society
