Incheon TP Supports Development of Contactless Service Robots…Up to 120 Million KRW

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon Technopark (Incheon TP) will support the technology and product development of contactless service robots.

Incheon TP is recruiting robot companies to participate in a demonstration support project for contactless service robots by the 4th of next month. These robots can be utilized in various sectors such as quarantine, guidance, medical care, serving, and delivery in multi-use facilities including public and medical services.

The support target is small and medium-sized robot-related companies in the Incheon area, which must form a consortium with companies or institutions that require robots.

Incheon TP plans to select two or more consortia and provide up to approximately 120 million KRW in funding to cover costs related to product planning, research and development (R&D), testing, commercialization, and demonstration of contactless service robots.

Applications for support can be submitted through the BizOK company support information provision site.

An Incheon TP official stated, "This support project responds to social changes minimizing personal contact due to the spread of COVID-19," adding, "We expect to revitalize the robot industry and achieve infection prevention effects by discovering service robots applicable to a contactless society."
