By pursuing an assembly model robot system rather than a finished robot, MINI ROBOT, a specialized company for educational robots in Korea, specializes in multi articulation model robot systems. A frontrunner in the Korea's robot industry, the company has struck its root as a representative company in the articulation-model entertainment robot field and robot field for education, president Chung Sangbong, MINI ROBOT said in a previous interview.

First of all in relation to the company's goal, Chung emphasized: "It is to serve as a robot company which provides users including the younger generation with most interesting and beneficial robots," attaching importance to humanoid's popularization.

Edutainment robot ROBONOVA allows in a word users to enjoy robots while learning.

ROBONOVA's main feature is that it is easy to make. It is possible to assemble with just one cross driver so that even a beginner facing robot for the first time, can easily assemble. Its design structure, developed through long research, allows even a beginner to be able to assemble easily as if he figures out block or puzzle, Chung said.

Second, the ROBONOVA robot system is convenient to use. By providing two kinds programs plus the latest MRC3024 controller it offers beginners or experts who want diverse robot manufacturing with robot motion program environment easily.

In reference to robot's Hanryu, or Korean wave, Chung explained: "In terms of technology order, Korea ranks the sixth position globally following Japan, USA, Italy and Germany. But, in terms of national support or the nation sentiment actually in personal robots, Korea ranks the second position after Japan, thereby competing with Japan right now in robot technology and furthermore domestic robot development is expected to develop as a spearheading technology to be able to lead world robot technology."
