Daekyeung University and Yeonghyeon Robotics to jointly develop customized robotics technologies for different industries

[Financial News] Daekyeung University, a leader in industry-integrated higher education, is joining forces with robotics specialist Yeonghyeon Robotics to jointly develop collaborative robot technology based on “Physical AI” for the beauty, defense, food and bio sectors.
Daekyeung University said on the 11th that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Yeonghyeon Robotics on the 9th at the conference room on its Theme Campus in Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do. The two sides agreed to combine the university’s education and research infrastructure with the company’s collaborative robot technology to jointly develop Physical AI convergence technologies applicable to industrial settings.
The partnership is drawing attention because it goes beyond an industry-academia agreement, linking Daekyeung University’s specialized educational capabilities with Yeonghyeon Robotics’ robot automation technology to develop industry-specific collaborative robot technologies and extend their use to hands-on training, research and development, and industrial sites.
Building on their experience collaborating on robotics technology in the beauty sector, the two sides plan to expand joint technology development into defense, food, and bio and healthcare.
In the beauty sector, they will advance automation technologies using precision robot actuation technology. In defense, they will jointly conduct research and development into potential applications for collaborative robots and Physical AI-based robot control technology.
The two sides also agreed to collaborate on developing robot convergence technologies that can be applied in industrial settings, including through robot motion learning and control using Physical AI and analysis of empirical data collected in real-world work environments.
They also plan to expand the potential applications of robotics technology and identify joint research projects in the bio and healthcare sectors.
In addition to jointly developing these technologies, the two sides will develop hands-on curricula and teaching materials so students can operate collaborative robots themselves and apply them in industrial settings.
They plan to build a collaborative robot training system that reflects the specific characteristics of the food, beauty and defense sectors, and to train specialists in Physical AI and robotics convergence by linking practical field training with internships.
They also plan to expand the scope of their industry-academia cooperation by sharing research equipment and facilities and identifying joint projects for participation in government and local government research and development (R&D) programs.
Daekyeung University President Lee Chae-young said, “Physical AI is a key technological field that combines robotics and artificial intelligence to drive change in industrial settings, and it is important to connect the university’s specialized educational capabilities with real-world industrial technology development. Through this collaboration, we will combine the educational strengths Daekyeung University has built up in beauty, bio and defense with the company’s robotics technology to expand joint technology development, and build an industry-academia cooperation model that organically links education and research with industrial sites.”
Daekyeung University plans to use this collaboration to link its specialized educational capabilities with the development of Physical AI-based robotics technology and expand an industry-academia cooperation model connecting education, research and technology development across a range of sectors, including beauty, defense and bio.
