The National Rehabilitation Center announced on the 16th that it held the '2026 Care Robot Network Forum' at the Baekbeom Kim Gu Memorial Hall Convention Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul and shared the research and development achievements of consumer-centered care robots.

At the forum on this day, the current status of the care robot development project of the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy was shared, and the technology development and development direction of next-generation care robots that can be used in actual care sites were discussed.

In addition, the need to link technology and services has been raised so that care robots are not limited to a specific space or one service, but can be used in the process from hospitals to the community and home.

Kim Dong-ah, director of the National Rehabilitation Center, said, "Care should continue continuously centered on a person's life in medical care, welfare, hospitals, and the community. Care robots should also develop into a technology that solves problems in actual care settings by understanding the characteristics and living environments of the disabled and the elderly, rather than developing technology itself."

Open Questions

  • What is the specific care robot technology development roadmap?
  • How will an implementation plan for the consumer-centered approach presented at the forum be established?
