South Korea Robotics

South Korea has been known for its advanced technology, Artificial Intelligence and robots for awhile. In fact, by 2023 South Korea plans to turn the nation’s robotics technology into a 15 trillion-won ($13.3 billion) industry, with the aim of becoming the fourth-largest player in the world. To do this South Korea plans on fostering 20 major robotics companies. "The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced on the same day it would finance the distribution of 7,560 manufacturing robots to replace human workforces in the areas of textiles, foods and beverages that have been losing workers due to hostile work environments and work intensity." Some of these robots have already been installed and are already working. In the Incheon International Airport, a Guidebot connects to the airport’s central server to find out boarding times and locations of restaurants and shops.

Looking at how successful the Guidebot has been, you should expect to see more and more robots implemented into the everyday lives in South Korea. One of South Koreas main goals is to be the most advanced country technologies wise. And right now they are on track to accomplish that goal sooner rather than later
