로봇 벤치마킹을 통한 미래 유망분야 선정에 관한 연구 = A study on selection of future promising areas through robot benchmarking

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As the level of utilization of robots has been recently increased, the importance of technologies has been also increased and technologies have been widely developed in various fields of study. The world robot market has been formed focusing on electronic technologies and robots for manufacture, and it is expected t hat the development of the robot technologies for individual service which would provide the services in the life of humans will have high growth rate by taking the lead in high growth. Meanwhile, the advanced countries have constantly studied the development of robot technologies, and spent a huge amount of money in developing robot technologies. However, compared with the advanced countries, Korea has insufficient R&D human resources and capitals for developing robot technologies, and therefore the infrastructure for robot production and the systematic R&D development have not been smoothly achieved. Therefore, this study believes that the development of robot technologies for satisfying the needs of users in various fields should be accelerated, and proposes that it is necessary to conduct technical development researches related to home robots as a growth engine of next-generation robots. In other words, this study carries out similar grouping with about 400 robots cases through benchmarking cases, classifies robot technologies by type, and finally predicts that the type accounting for the highest percentage will be the future-promising robot industry. Thus, a robot area to be studied in the future is the home robot area, which is ranked second in the percentage, and in particular, the kitchen area should be focused on. This is because home robots can enrich the life of individuals by assisting household chores, child-care, cleanup, etc., and they are also living-assistant robots necessary for the life of humans.
