✦ AI Summary
North Gyeongsang Province deployed AI robots to care facilities and held an interim report meeting to review the current status and areas for improvement.
The project is funded by KRW 1 billion in donations from the Gyeongbuk Community Chest of Korea and targets 12 daycare centers and community care centers in 10 cities and counties in the province.
Pohang Techno Park and the Telecommunications Technology Association signed a business agreement to support AI transformation for manufacturing companies by linking demonstration, testing, and evaluation.
North Gyeongsang Province is expanding the scope of AI applications, focusing on care and manufacturing sites. For care facilities, it is deploying AI robots and checking their effectiveness, while in manufacturing it has begun building a support system that links AI technology demonstration, testing, and evaluation.
As part of this effort, North Gyeongsang Province held an interim report on the 'AI Care Support Robot Deployment Pilot Project.' The meeting reviewed the status of robot deployment and their use on site, and also looked at utilization by facility and areas for improvement. The project is funded by KRW 1 billion in donations from the Gyeongbuk Community Chest of Korea and is led by Gyeongbuk TP.
The deployment target includes 12 daycare centers and community care centers in 10 cities and counties across the province. Since last May, North Gyeongsang Province has been rolling out AI robots to care facilities in phases, and as of now it has deployed 127 AI care robots across 9 types in safety, health, and education. In this project, MotionAdvisor is responsible for robot deployment, and KT is in charge of on-site training.
The project runs until next April. During the remaining period, North Gyeongsang Province plans to further improve functions needed at actual care sites.
North Gyeongsang Province said the purpose of AI and robot technology in the care sector is not to replace care workers. Lee Sang-soo, head of the province's Local Government Strategy Bureau, said the goal of the technology is to ease the burden on sites facing labor shortages and provide safer care services for children. He also said the province will continue reflecting on-site feedback and keep supplementing needed functions and improvements.
In manufacturing, collaboration on on-site AI application has also begun. Pohang Techno Park and the Telecommunications Technology Association(TTA) signed a business agreement on the 7th at the AX Lab of the Pohang TP Gyeongbuk AI Innovation Headquarters to support AI transformation(AX) for local manufacturing companies. The two organizations will link the AIDC testbed operated by Pohang Techno Park with TTA's ICT standardization, testing, and evaluation capabilities.
Based on this, they will promote demonstration of AI technologies used at manufacturing sites and then promote performance and reliability verification after the demonstration. Establishing a support system that connects the verification results to commercialization is the core of the agreement.
This collaboration covers AX infrastructure and service upgrading, joint research and project discovery, manufacturing AX standardization, development of testing and evaluation guidelines, as well as data technology collaboration, AI model technology collaboration, platform technology collaboration, on-site demonstration, pilot projects, and training of specialized personnel.
To put this into practice, the two organizations plan to form a working-level council. The council will be responsible for deciding detailed tasks and setting the implementation schedule. If necessary, they also plan to expand participation to local companies, universities, and research institutions in order to broaden the scope of manufacturing AX demonstration.
Song Kyung-chang, head of Pohang TP, said the linking of Pohang TP's AIDC testbed with TTA's standardization, testing, and evaluation capabilities is the starting point for promoting AX among local manufacturing companies. He added that the organization will pursue the discovery, demonstration, and verification of AX technologies that can be used at manufacturing sites, and through this will contribute to strengthening the technological competitiveness of local companies.
