사용자:Robot Research Initiative Chonnam National University
Introduction
[편집]The Robot Research Initiative (RRI) is a research institute dedicated to advanced robotics research. It is an affiliate of Chonnam National University in Gwangju, Korea. Prof. Jong-Oh Park moved from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology to Chonnam National University in early 2005 and established RRI in March 2008, where he is still actively in charge. RRI is currently a leading institute in the medical robotics field, especially in the area of biomedical micro/nano robotics. RRI is one of the largest institutions among university robotics laboratories in Korea and competes globally.
The current research focuses of RRI are biomedical micro/nano robotics, surgery robotics, cable robotics, and so on. The Korean government invests roughly 200 million USD annually in the Korean robotics industry, and almost 90% of this budget is designated for R&D. RRI has been actively involved in the government-funded R&D projects. After an over 10-year investment in personal service robotics, as well as IT–based ubiquitous robotics, the government has been strategically investing in medical robotics for the past 6 years. The biomedical micro/nano robotics field in Korea has been exclusively initiated by RRI, and the reputation and status of RRI is currently stable.
The global networking of RRI is mostly focused on biomedical micro/nano robotics, covering engineering and scientific approaches. Prof. Park and his staff have led both government- and industry-funded R&D robotics projects. As the industry partners Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motors, Daewoo Motors, and DSME can be counted. The following set of pictures portrays dozens of representative project results.
History
[편집]The Robot Research Initiative was established at the building of engineering 1A, Chonnam National University in March 2008. As a director of the Robot Research Initiative, Professor Jong Oh Park was nominated a month later. In year 2008, Robot Research Initiative signed MOU for mutual cooperation with KIST Europe, Dario Lab in Scuola Superior Sant’Anna in Italy and Sitti Lab in Carnehie Mellon University. In year 2010, Robot Research Initiative announced ‘in-vivo test of intravascular therapeutic microrobot’ to the public. Also, ‘Pioneer research center for bacteriobot’ and ‘Space Robot Research Center’ was opened. As of March 2011, Prof. Jong Oh Park signed MOU for mutual cooperation with centern for Micro-Nano Mechatronics, Nagoya University(CMM), Japan and Fondazione Instituto Italiano di Tecnologia(ITT). In year 2012, MOU for mutual cooperation was signed with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and Fraunhofer-IPA, and with National Science Foundation-founded Materials Research Science and Engineering Centre of Brandeis University. Also, March 2013, MOU with Yanbian University of Science&Technology(Mechanical Material Automation Engineering) was made. In June, Cooperation agreement with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and Fraunhofer-IPA was made as well an year later of its MOU. Recently, Robot Research Initiative signed MOU with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Enhoneeting Co., LTD. in April, 2014.
