Dynamic Solution Ramps Up Participation in KRW 600 Billion "K-Moonshot" Project... Launches Dedicated BCI Team View original image

Dynamic Solution, together with Wibrain, has established a dedicated organization to participate in the government-led large-scale research and development project "K-Moonshot" and has embarked on full-scale operations.


On May 7, Dynamic Solution announced that it had jointly established a dedicated team with Wibrain to participate in the K-Moonshot initiative.


K-Moonshot is a large-scale science and technology research and development project spearheaded by the Ministry of Science and ICT. The government plans to invest a total budget of KRW 600 billion from 2026 to 2030 to carry out 12 national future strategic tasks in eight key fields, based on science, technology, and artificial intelligence (AI). The project will be operated under the leadership of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT, and will involve cooperation among industry, academia, research institutes, and relevant ministries.


Among these, one of the core tasks in the advanced biotechnology sector is the brain-computer interface (BCI), which aims to commercialize technologies for treating brain disorders such as spinal cord injury, speech impairment, and Parkinson's disease by 2030. By 2035, the goal is to secure technologies to overcome high-level brain function disorders, including visual impairment, dementia, and depression.


The project involves major companies such as Hyundai Motor Company, Samsung Electronics, LG AI Research, SK Telecom, NC AI, KT, LG Uplus, and Naver. In addition, government-funded research institutes and medical institutions, such as the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), and Seoul National University Hospital, will provide research infrastructure and technical support.


While K-Moonshot is a government-supported project, it is characterized by its "One Team" approach, with both the public and private sectors participating. Wibrain has been selected as the Program Director (PD) company overseeing the entire BCI mission, and will lead the project with authority over research and development planning and management, business direction adjustment, and priority budget allocation.


Dynamic Solution, following the strategic agreement signed with Wibrain on April 10 and its own technology support plan, plans to jointly develop "robotic hand and EEG transmission software" as well as a "BCI-based wearable robotic hand" with KAIST for this project.


Currently, both industrial and medical sites are experiencing delays in operation due to information bottlenecks in the biosignal processing process. Dynamic Solution is developing technology to solve this issue by analyzing the neural signals generated by users' movement intentions and linking them to the actual operation of robotic hands.


The company is also participating in the international joint research and development project "NEUROSTAR," overseen by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and is collaborating with Bundang Seoul National University Hospital, Charite University Hospital in Germany, and Imagine.

The company possesses data accumulated through clinical trials and application experiences targeting patients with spinal cord injuries, speech impairments, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and visual impairments. Based on this, Dynamic Solution has secured BCI robotic hand technology capabilities that encompass AI/software-based brain neural signal decoding algorithms, specialized foundation models, equipment design and production, and on-site application.


Going forward, Dynamic Solution plans to collaborate with KAIST researchers to expand and advance existing robotic hand control technologies to cover robotic arms in general and accelerate the development of next-generation commercialized BCI robots with global market competitiveness. In addition, through participation in K-Moonshot, the company will utilize accumulated clinical data and robotic hand technology to strengthen collaboration with KAIST and enhance the completeness of commercialized robot-converged BCI solutions.


The government expects that, if K-Moonshot BCI research and development is successfully completed, Korea will be able to secure technological leadership in the global BCI market, which is projected to grow to approximately USD 203.7 billion (about KRW 303.4 trillion) by 2033.


Baek Myunghoon, CEO of Dynamic Solution, said, "Dynamic Solution, as Wibrain's strategic partner and the second-largest shareholder, is jointly carrying out major national R&D projects. Through the collaboration between the two companies, we will enhance our capabilities in executing national projects and technological competitiveness, and expand the scope of BCI technology application across the global industry."



Dynamic Solution is expected to accelerate the commercialization of next-generation BCI robots and gain a competitive edge in the global market, strengthening collaboration with Wibrain and KAIST through its participation in K-Moonshot.
