Dynamic Solution has joined hands with the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) to secure commercialization technology for robotic hands and arms. The company is accelerating the reinforcement of its next-generation robotics business by expanding its collaboration to include the fields of physical AI and brain-computer interface (BCI).

On May 20, Dynamic Solution announced that it had signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with ETRI for the joint development of “integrated real-virtual spatial media and interaction technologies applicable to robotic hands and arms.”

Through this agreement, the two parties plan to jointly promote the application of wearable technology to virtual convergence spatial systems, the development of three-dimensional tactile-based wearable device technology, and research on AI-based motion estimation technology in virtual spaces.

This LOI is an extension of the technology transfer agreement signed in March this year. At that time, Dynamic Solution acquired the X-HAND and remote wearable robot technologies from ETRI. ETRI has filed three domestic patents and one U.S. patent related to these technologies, and Dynamic Solution has secured a non-exclusive license for them.

The company plans to diversify its technology development direction in the fields of physical AI and BCI and focus on advancing convergence technologies through this collaboration. In particular, by adding cooperation with KAIST on the K-Moonshot Project, Dynamic Solution aims to strengthen its capabilities and technological competitiveness in the commercialization of robotic hands and arms.

Dynamic Solution has steadily accumulated technology in the field of robotic hands and arms. The company holds a total of 114 patents—67 domestic and 47 overseas—related to sensing devices and methods for processing sensing data, body movement assistance devices, stretch sensor-based hand rehabilitation training devices, upper limb rehabilitation robots, finger movement measuring devices, and wearable hand robots. This year alone, it has filed six additional domestic patents, including those for smart boards for rehabilitation training.

These technological assets have been developed based on approximately 40 government-funded research and development (R&D) projects and clinical data carried out over about 16 years since the company’s establishment in 2010. Building on its accumulated research achievements, the company is expanding its application scope not only to robotics and wearable devices, but also to the fields of physical AI and BCI.

Work to advance technology in the BCI field is also ongoing. Dynamic Solution is preparing to file patents for technologies such as an intelligent rehabilitation training guidance system based on brainwave signal analysis, a BCI-based neuroplasticity-enhancing rehabilitation assistance device, and a rehabilitation training platform based on a brainwave interface for understanding user intent. The company is also simultaneously carrying out several government R&D projects.

In particular, through the BCI commercialization R&D project led by the Ministry of Science and ICT, Dynamic Solution is strengthening its cooperation network with domestic and international hospitals and specialized companies. Since 2020, the company has formed an international consortium with Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Charité University Hospital in Berlin, Germany, and Imagine, among others, to conduct related research.

This consortium successfully developed the first BCI prototype in 2021 and began R&D for the commercialization of the second-generation BCI technology last year. Currently, clinical trials are underway for the integration of AI technology into BCI intelligence and commercialization.

The company explained that since officially reorganizing its business focus around robotics, it has been gradually establishing a foundation for the commercialization of robotic hands and arms through technology transfers, patent acquisition, government project implementation, and collaborations with hospitals and specialized companies.

Myunghun Baek, CEO of Dynamic Solution, stated, “Collaboration with ETRI will be an important turning point that reduces development risks and accelerates commercialization. Through the K-Moonshot Project, we plan to actively utilize our existing patents and technology transfer assets to improve the completeness of our robotic hand and arm technologies, and to establish a system of cooperation with related companies to advance the product launch schedule.”

Based on its technological collaboration with ETRI, Dynamic Solution is accelerating the commercialization of robotic hands and arms as well as the expansion of its physical AI and BCI convergence business, and is targeting the next-generation robotics market.
