1. Introduction :
The field of robotics is anticipated as the prospective blue ocean of the 21st century. Governments all
over world are looking forward to the day robots will be as widespread as telephones or computers. In
particular, there are high expectations for increased demand for human resources in the intelligent
robotics field owing to the rise of the market in this area.
In order to prepare for this challenge, we need to create robot system that fuses robot technology and
ubiquitous technology, a system that will allow autonomous mobility and provide effective services. The
realization of this robot system will elicit demand from various industries such as edutainment, national
defense and medical services. However, the current technology and human resources are insufficient to
realize such future prospect. Hence, the strong demand from the society itself comes for the
advancement of current robot technology. Therefore, we need to boldly invest on the education of expert
in robotics engineering, in order to maximize the development of the current society as well as to reap
massive economic benefits.
The three universities have designated robot control and sensor as the general curriculum, with Inha
university robot vision and HRI. Hanyang university specializing in robot intelligence, perception and
integrated software, Pusan university robot design and planning, The consortium consisting of these
three universities is expected to cultivate human resources from both the metropolitan area and the
provinces. RoSEC will do its utmost best in training internationally acknowledged robotics experts, and
enhance the stance of the domestic robotics industry in the international arena.
