Kick-off Briefing for Physical AI Leading Technology Development Project
Development of Proprietary Models and Securing World Model Source Technology
34 Billion Won Invested Over Two Years with Aim for World-Class Technology
The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Institute for Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP) introduced on June 9 that they held a kick-off briefing session for the ‘Physical AI Leading Technology Development’ undertaking on the LG Science Park in Magok, Gangseo-gu, Seoul on June 9.
This undertaking focuses on localizing the core applied sciences of bodily synthetic intelligence (AI), which have to date relied closely on international options. Physical AI is likely one of the core missions of the “K-Moonshot” initiative, an AI-based nationwide innovation undertaking introduced by the federal government earlier this 12 months.
Until now, Korea’s bodily AI ecosystem has depended totally on international simulation platforms. To overcome this, the Ministry of Science and ICT has launched this undertaking with the purpose of creating next-generation bodily AI basis fashions utilizing home know-how.
The undertaking goals to safe proprietary world mannequin supply know-how and to validate domestically developed simulator know-how linked to it. A world mannequin refers to a mannequin that helps AI perceive the true world and predict adjustments, thereby supporting AI studying and decision-making.
The undertaking entails ten organizations from business, academia, and analysis, together with LG Electronics because the lead establishment, in addition to Maum AI, Holiday Robotics, Robotis, Crowdworks, Alchera, KT, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Seoul National University, and the Korea Information and Communication Technology Association.
Starting this 12 months, the Ministry of Science and ICT will make investments a complete of 34 billion received over two years, aiming to obtain world-class efficiency in a brief interval via analysis and growth (R&D). Specifically, the plan is to enhance the world mannequin’s real-world simulation efficiency and its switch efficiency to robotic basis fashions, rising the precise robotic’s ultimate process success fee by greater than 20 share factors in contrast to instances the place the world mannequin isn’t utilized. This goal exceeds the present international finest requirements.
To obtain this, the undertaking will set up an indication pipeline, beginning with speedy world mannequin coaching and robotic basis mannequin connectivity, adopted by demonstration and efficiency analysis, case evaluation, and retraining. The plan is to improve technological completeness via 4 rounds of iterative validation over the two-year interval. In the ultimate stage, the purpose is to produce outcomes that may be commercialized via real-world demonstrations.
At the kick-off assembly, LG Electronics’ CLOi robotic and Robotis’ AI Walker robotic demonstrated human-robot interplay. Subsequently, LG Electronics introduced particular analysis aims and implementation plans, and every taking part analysis establishment introduced its roles and detailed collaboration methods.
Ryu Jemyoung, Second Vice Minister of Science and ICT, emphasised, “Physical AI is a national core technology that will transform Korea’s paradigm,” including, “Securing core infrastructure for physical AI independently is the starting point for Korea to become a global leader in physical AI.”

He continued, “Since this project brings together large corporations, startups, universities, and research institutes with the highest level of domestic expertise, we expect to secure technologies with global competitiveness. The government will also mobilize all policy resources to actively support field research so that challenges and innovations can yield results quickly.”
