2025 3rd Industrial Innovation Infrastructure Program

- AI Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Project

We would like to bring to your attention the re-announcement of the call for proposals for the 2025 3rd Round of the Industrial Innovation Infrastructure Program, which is hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE).

※ One of the key designated projects is the establishment of the AI Humanoid Robot Innovation Center 

※ Link : 범부처통합연구지원시스템(IRIS)

[ Key Objective of the Initiative ]

• Create and test AI-driven humanoid robots for enhancing domestic technological capabilities and securing global competitiveness.
• Empower the realization of human-level task intelligence, context-aware interactive behavior, and human-friendly task programming, which will drastically decrease the time and cost of AI robot development.
• Create an open and sharing innovation ecosystem among industry, academia, and research institute

As a [related field like AI, robotics, HRI, etc.] expert, we believe your contribution would be of immense value to this project.

Rather than pursuing the project individually, we would prefer to organize a multi-institutional consortium of universities and public research institutions in line with the program's preference for collaborative R&D platforms. We also wish that this project may be a strategic opportunity to expand your academic and industry network in this new area.

Please find the official announcement and RFP attached for your reference.
