Network Robot
Innovative Seoul firm concludes MOU with KAIST
By teaming up with KAIST Intelligent Robot Research Center, KDC (Korea Digital Communications Corp.) is developing a network-model intelligent robot that can videotape and transmit a most similar screen image to a person's natural eyesight by loading 3D in both eyes lenses.
Increasingly, 3D cubic screen is attracting attention as a next-generation screen technology, as it is a technology which allows images to be enjoyed on moving screens with several terminals (monitor, cellular phone etc.) in no-glasses mode by videotaping screens with both 2D & 3D cameras loaded with both eyes lenses.
This robot development's focus is tailored to developing robots for the preservation of public peace and guard our property and life instead of humans, and robots for exploration which carry out duties of information collection, investigation and picking by utilizing robot's autonomous navigation function, CCTV camera loaded both eyes camera in it, sensor, network function, bi-directional interface function basically.
The development of 3D both eyes lenses-loaded robots, which will be attempted for the first time in Korea, is scheduled to develop a small-sized 3D camera module that is possible to load into robots by the end of this year.
A spokesperson for KDC involved in its development told the Korea IT Times: "This development will bring important changes to the security market too at home and abroad," adding that the established screen culture is changing from black and white, and color, & high picture quality to 3D cubic screen.
He went on to explain, "Spirit & Opportunity, NASA's twins investigation robot for Mars, OFRO which took charge of security in all parts of Germany World Cup sports grounds, and dogs & horses robots to take charge of guarding by fielding in all parts of the ceasefire line by 2012, these all are a present address of robots for exploration and guard which will form the largest market of the robot industry for the future."
KAIST Intelligence Robot Research Center, on the other hand, attracted public attention by announcing the national robot 'Mybot' and the network-based puppy robot 'Ritta' etc.
