The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) held the second Advanced Robotics
Economy Task Force meeting, involving industry-academic-research experts, to discuss a
comprehensive revision of the Intelligent Robot Act and strategies for the widespread
adoption of advanced robotics.
The Ministry plans to fully revise the law this year to redefine and support new
technologies and industries, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and humanoids. Additionally,
the government aims to establish an action plan by the first half of next year to achieve its
goal of deploying 1 million robots by 2030.
The South Korean government announced the "Vision and Strategy for the Advanced
Robotics Industry" in December of last year, outlining a target to invest over 3 trillion KRW
in collaboration with the private sector to deploy 1 million robots across various industrial
and social sectors by 2030.
