Robot World 2007 will be held over four days from October 18th through 21th, 2007 at COEX, Seoul, Korea. It is expected to live up to its catchphrase, which is The 2nd Wonder Next to Semiconductors, Robots Together Tomorrow. Organizers plan a robot festival in which not only the academic world related to the robotics industry, the industrial world, and governmental associated institutions, but also all people who love robot at home and abroad can participate.
Hosted under the auspices of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy (MOCIE) and supervised by a total of 9 robot-associated institutions including the Korea Association of Robotics, the largest scale robotics exhibition and convention Robot World 2007 will serve as a ground for publicity to acquaint the world with Korea's robot industry. At the same time it will create substantial business between participating companies and buyers.
MOCIE officials said that the government, the academic world, industrial circles and robot-related persons are uniting their efforts in order to secure an initiative of the world robot market through preemptive market creation of the robotics industry.
In that respect, they expected: "This year's Robot World would serve as an important momentum to let the nation know the government's will toward a robot power while allowing the nation to change their awareness about robot as a companion for the future society."
The Robot World 2007 will be composed of the International Robot Industry Show (iRIS), International Robot Contest (IRC), and Korea Robot Conference (KRC), according to the Secretariat of the Robot World 2007.
Through diverse incidental events such as new product launching show which can introduce and publicize company's new products at home and abroad, robot theme pavilion which will embody the encounter of robots and movies, robots and arts, between robots and the future and business plaza which provides business' opportunity between participating companies and buyers, Secretariat officials emphasize that this upcoming October we can share the future with robots while allowing us to recognize the coming robotics world.
