Daegyeong University, Yeonghyeon Robotics sign MOU to co-develop physical AI-based robot technology

Daegyeong University has teamed up with robotics firm Yeonghyeon Robotics to jointly develop collaborative robot technology based on physical AI across the beauty, defense, food and biotech sectors.

The university signed an MOU with Yeonghyeon Robotics on Monday at a conference hall on its theme campus in Gyeongsan, North Gyeongsang Province. Under the agreement, the two sides will combine the university's education and research infrastructure with the company's robot automation technology to develop convergence technologies for use in industrial settings.

Building on their existing cooperation in the beauty sector, the two institutions plan to expand joint research and development into defense, food, and biotech and healthcare.

They will focus particularly on advancing industry-specific collaborative robot technology through robot motion learning, control technology and on-site verification data analysis.

In addition, the partners will jointly develop hands-on curricula and teaching materials centered on collaborative robotics, and will link field training and internship programs to cultivate specialists in physical AI and robot convergence.

"We will expand joint technology development by combining the university's specialized education capabilities with the company's robotics expertise, and build an industry-academia cooperation model that organically connects education, research and industrial sites," said Lee Chae-young, president of Daegyeong University.
