A new era of Physical AI is taking shape, enabling wearable robots and humanoids to understand and predict human movement and achieve more precise control. KAIST, which possesses world-class research capabilities in wearable robotics, and NVIDIA will collaborate to develop a Human Motion Foundation Model that enables AI to learn human movement and physical intelligence. KAIST, led by President Choongsik Bae, announced on July 25 that it will establish a NVIDIA AI Technology Center (NVAITC) wi
2026-07-26KAIST researchers have begun developing a next-generation brain-robot interface platform that uses human brain signals to control an exoskeleton in real time and sends the tactile and force information sensed by the robot back to the brain. KAIST, led by President Kwang-Hyung Lee, announced on the 25th that research teams led by Professors Kyoungchul Kong and Jung Kim of its Department of Mechanical Engineering, together with Angel Robotics Co., Ltd., have launched the world’s first bid

Researchers at KAIST have successfully shortened this process from six hours to just ten minutes, while also reducing the required temperat
2025-10-29<Group Photo of Kick-off Meeting> On September 3, KAIST announced the official launch of the "2025 Deep Tech Scale-up Valley Nurturing Project" with a kick-off meeting at the KAIST Department of Mechanical Engineering. KAIST was selected for this project by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Research and Development Special District Foundation. With this selection, the university plans to create a "Robot Valley". Over the next three and a half years, KAIST will receive a total of
