Korea Institute of Robotics &
Technology Convergence (KIRO) is
a leading R&D institute specializing in robotics
and technology convergence
under the Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
Welcome to the Korea Institute of
Robotics & Technology Convergence(KIRO).
The global robotics market is rapidly evolving, driven by the advancement of manufacturing industries and the remarkable progress of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Over the past decade, the expansion of industrial robot adoption has led to record-high"robot density,"a key indicator of national manufacturing competitiveness.
Today, robots are expanding their presence into every aspect of human life-from field and service robots applied in various industries to humanoid robots that resemble humans themselves. Korea, too, is accelerating its investment in robotics and AI to strengthen its global competitiveness.
As the nation's only specialized robotics research institute, KIRO has, for more than 20 years, served as a central hub for the Korean robotics industry through intelligent robot technology development, field applications, corporate support, and talent cultivation.
Now, KIRO is preparing for its next leap forward. We aim to advance technologies that connect various types of robots with real-world applications, and to expand AI-robot convergence research to drive industrial innovation and enhance quality of life. Furthermore, KIRO is committed to strengthening the foundation of Korea's robotics industry by increasing the localization rate of core components and technologies. We also plan to expand our research scope through collaboration with sectors such as automotive, biotechnology and medical devices, aerospace, and advanced defense industries.
KIRO will continue to take on new challenges to create a society where humans and robots coexist in harmony.
We sincerely appreciate your continued interest and support.
Thank you.
Kang Ki-Won
