2 Is the era of the robot around the corner?

3 It is coming slowly albeit steadily hundred million Public Service Educational Service Home Service Robotic Appliance Customers expectation Robots should be $500 billion Cleanin g, Toy, Security robots $20 billion Home, Healthcare robots Via Network $150 billion Humanoid robots One robot per home Current Products Chasm? Novel Concept Forecast of the world service robot market

4 Application of Intelligent Robot Ubiquitous Robot Silver Service Life Support Medical Service Security Service Internet Service Information Service Information Service High-Tech Manufacturing Industry Intelligent Robot System National Defense Public Security Household Dangerous Work Household Educational Service Life line Maintenance Agriculture&Fisheries Factory Transportation/Construction Public Guard National Defense

5 Robots in the Market Cleaning Entertainment Home-Service Silver/Health-Care Guidance-Service Field-Service

6 Entertainment robots AIBO, Japan Autonomous behavior Face recognition Voice recognition Pattern recognition Self charging Papero, Japan Autonomous behavior Face recognition Speech recognition and synthesis Sound localization Wandering and talking For ideal entertainment service: Should be more Intelligent. (adaptation, learning...) Prices should be lowered to gain popularity. Robosapien, U.S.A. Walking (Biped) Dancing, Object grasping Touch and sound sensitive User programmable (motion creation)

7 Home Information-service robots irobi-q, Korea First network based home robot Network contents service Face recognition Voice recognition and synthesis Navigation For ideal information-service: Human-like Interaction Proactive services Human-like navigation capability Wakamaru, Japan Localization Obstacle avoidance Autonomous charging Face recognition Voice recognition and synthesis

8 Humanoid robots QRIO - Japan ASIMO Japan HUBO - Korea They barely walk and behave like a human. Intelligence and autonomy are still insufficient. Suitable functions and application areas should be derived. When can they be commercialized? (Currently, too expensive)

9 Guidance Service robots Post Guide Robot, Korea Providing information on mail services Monitoring Autonomous navigation Speech recognition and synthesis Entertainment services For ideal guidance service: Intelligence and dexterity should be improved. Autonomous navigation is needed. Enon, Japan Autonomous navigation Handling and transport of objects Wide angle cameras Speech recognition and synthesis

10 Barrier to industrialization Gap between expected value and actual value of the products It is hard to meet the expected value at a reasonable price. Technology-oriented development: to show off technological leadership of a company Absence of Killer Application Benefit < Price < Cost No one satisfies! Barrier should be be overcome for for the the success of of robot market

11 Proposal for industrial progress Value Index (V.I.) BENEFIT COST Intelligence Contents Service Standardization Mass Component Production Robot Embedded Component Market Volume Value Index should be greater than one to open up a popular market. How can we make it? -> Network Service

12 How should we deal with robot business? We need to look at robot industry from the service point of view We need various players from different industries - portal service industry, education industry, game industry, nursing industry etc. We need various partners in business chains for different roles - service provider, content provider, network provider, installation service provider as well as robot manufacturer We need to clearly define player's role for proper profit sharing in the business model

13 Business Model Customer s needs Robot manufacturer State-of-the-art technology Content / Service / Solution provider Home network, Network provider Marketing & Distribution Market (Customer) Kindergarten Hospital Home-Network Pavilion Elementary school

14 IT based intelligent service robot, URC concept URC (Ubiquitous Robotic Companion) Robot providing service you need anytime and anywhere Strategy maximizing strength of IT infra-structure in Korea Ubiquitous Network Home Network Household IT Guard Robot, the helper being with you when you need Edutainment Transportation Office Department Store Medical Center Robot Inside
