The Department of Robot and Drone Engineering at Honam University announced on May 8 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Jeonnam Technical Science High School for the cultivation of next-generation robot and drone specialists and technical cooperation.

This agreement was established to lay the foundation for nurturing talent to lead future industries and to promote mutual development between the two institutions. Through the agreement, the two institutions pledged to cooperate in four key areas: the cultivation of robot and drone specialists; the mutual exchange and cooperation of technology and information; the joint use of robot and drone equipment and the establishment of shared infrastructure; and the implementation of cooperative education for the development of both institutions.

The Department of Robot and Drone Engineering at Honam University operates an advanced technology education and practical curriculum in the fields of robotics and drones, while Jeonnam Technical Science High School, as a specialized high school, leads in providing basic technical education related to robots and drones.

Through this agreement, the two institutions plan to establish an educational system that organically combines theory and practice, providing students with substantial career-linked opportunities.

Yoon Taesoon, head of the Department of Robot and Drone Engineering, emphasized, "Robots and drones are core fields of future industries," and added, "By connecting early education with specialized educational institutions, we can enhance the competitiveness of local youth."

Meanwhile, the two institutions have agreed to increase the effectiveness of the agreement and strengthen the human resource competitiveness of local specialized industries through practical cooperation, such as providing theoretical and practical training in drone operation and education on the use of the robot operating system ROS2 during the summer vacation period.
