■ KAIST introduced on the tenth that a analysis crew led by Prof. Chang Dong Yoo on the School of Electrical Engineering has, for the primary time on the planet, developed a expertise known as ‘VOTP’ that allows synthetic intelligence (AI) to be taught human intent and decision-making standards from simply a handful of videos. VOTP helps AI autonomously establish human-preferred habits patterns utilizing solely a few good and dangerous instance videos. Without people having to judge a huge quantity of information one after the other, the AI can grasp human judgment standards and generalize them to be taught throughout numerous conditions. This can considerably cut back the human suggestions and data-building prices required for growing bodily AI. The analysis has been chosen for an oral presentation on the worldwide AI convention ‘ICML 2026’.
■ KAIST introduced on the tenth that it has launched the ‘KAIST Mind Care & Growth Center’, which integrates the college neighborhood’s psychological well being assist system and connects it with digital psychological well being analysis, and that it should host a global symposium on ‘Human Behavior and Mental Health’ at Sumi Jo Hall within the Jang Young Shin Student Center on the principle Daejeon campus to mark the launch. The Mind Care & Growth Center is an expanded and reorganized unit primarily based on the prevailing counseling middle, integrating the beforehand dispersed features of psychological counseling, psychological well being remedy, and disaster assist on campus. The middle goals to transcend a counseling assist unit and function a convergent platform that combines frontline psychological well being follow with KAIST’s analysis capabilities. Researchers from numerous fields, together with AI, neuroscience, design, humanities and social sciences, arithmetic, and laptop engineering, will take part to advance digital psychological well being analysis and constantly improve psychological well being providers.
■ POSTECH introduced on the tenth that a analysis crew led by Prof. Jongmin Kim within the Department of Life Sciences has developed an ‘RNA-based good gene circuit’ platform known as ‘RATEX’, and printed the ends in the worldwide journal ‘Angewandte Chemie’. Focusing on the ‘ribosome’, which reads RNA and produces proteins, the crew designed a system wherein the ribosome halts at a particular website on a gene solely when sure situations are met. This ‘halt’ serves as a sign that determines whether or not gene expression is initiated. The core of the RATEX platform is an structure the place the computational consequence obtained on the translation stage immediately and instantly governs whether or not the transcription stage operates. By combining this expertise with CRISPR-based gene management programs, the crew demonstrated that cells could be programmed with excessive precision.
■ Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) introduced on the tenth that a analysis crew led by Prof. Sang Hoon Lee within the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering has been chosen for a new venture below the ‘Immersive Content Core Technology Development (R&D)’ program, supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP), and can start growing core bi-directional wearable interface applied sciences for next-generation prolonged actuality (XR) environments. Starting in April 2026, a four-year venture with a whole funds of 9 billion KRW will drive the event of bi-directional wearable sensory and movement interface applied sciences for XR environments. The venture consists of growing ‘high-performance motion-recognition AI and algorithms’ that can detect customers’ delicate motion intentions, and ‘wearable interface units’ that join these to XR environments.
■ Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) introduced on the tenth that it hosted the ‘2026 Korea Industrial AI Joint Forum’ on the ninth in collaboration with the Korea Industrial Technology Association, LS ELECTRIC, LG AI Research, and POSCO Holdings. Under the theme ‘Designing a Manufacturing AI Super-Gap within the Era of AI Transformation’, the discussion board introduced collectively about 200 business contributors to debate AI methods and execution duties tailor-made to manufacturing websites, industrial software instances, and business–academia–analysis cooperation methods for realizing a super-gap in manufacturing AI.
