Innovation of Automated Firearm Management System Using Industrial Robots Recognized
AI-Based Precision Control Technology Praised
Students from Korea University of Technology and Education's 'Meta Robot Research Society' have demonstrated the strength of domestic university robotics technology by winning the Presidential Award at the 20th International Robot Contest's 'Robot Mission Challenge'.
They also received recognition for both technical excellence and practicality with their 'Automated Firearm Inspection and Management System,' which combines industrial robots and artificial intelligence (AI).
The university announced on November 3 that the 'Meta Robot Research Society' team received the top honor, the Presidential Award, along with a prize of 3 million won, at the 20th International Robot Contest's 'Robot Mission Challenge', held at Gangneung Olympic Park from October 31 to November 1.
This event, hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and organized by the Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement, is the largest robot competition in Korea. It serves as a stage to compete in the mission performance abilities of industrial articulated robots and creative application ideas.
The Meta Robot Research Society presented the 'AAMS (Automated Armory Management System)', an automated system for firearm inspection and management in the military.
This system allows robots to automatically check firearm loading and safety status, and implements a data-driven management system based on AI decisions, significantly improving accuracy and efficiency.
Professor Lee Woongyong (School of Future Convergence) stated, "This achievement was made possible by the students' experimental spirit and the university's active support," adding, "We will continue to focus on nurturing practical robotics talent who can excel in industrial settings."
Team leader Jung Yunho (senior, Department of Mechanical Engineering) said, "Thanks to the detailed guidance of our advisor and the collaboration with the Career Support Team, RISE Project Group, and Dadam Creative Center, we were able to enhance the quality of our project," and added, "We plan to further develop this into a robotics startup and problem-solving projects for industrial sites."
President Yoo Gilsang remarked, "This valuable achievement was made possible by the students' creativity and spirit of challenge," and emphasized, "We will continue to foster practical robotics talent through industry-centered education."
