[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Doosan Robotics announced on the 24th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Yonsei Medical Center to jointly develop medical robots and enter the medical robot market.
Doosan Robotics will be responsible for reviewing the feasibility and developing technologies to apply medical technologies being researched at Yonsei Medical Center to robots. Yonsei Medical Center will provide medical consultation and conduct clinical trials for this purpose.
