Expanding the lineup with rehabilitation robots and muscle assist suits
[by Yu, Suin] HLB Global is joining hands with world-renowned robotics expert Professor Dennis Hong of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), to initiate the development of AI-based medical and living assistance robots. The company announced on July 17 that it recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Professor Hong for this initiative. The signing ceremony was attended by HLB Global CEO Kim Kwang-jae and Professor Dennis Hong.
HLB 바카라 사이트, in collaboration with Professor Hong, aims to enhance its portfolio of ‘rehabilitation and exercise assistance robots,’ including rehabilitation devices and muscle support suits, under the overarching vision of ‘establishing a K-medical and living assistance robot brand.’ Professor Hong will oversee the verification and technological advancement of the robots, while HLB 바카라 사이트 will be responsible for commercialization and driving entry into 바카라 사이트 markets. Together, the two parties are outlining an ambitious roadmap to expand beyond rehabilitation and exercise assistance into care and daily living support robots, cognitive and emotional care robots, and a broader range of senior-friendly robotic solutions.
Dennis Hong, a Korean-American robotics engineer born in the United States, is a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCLA and the founder of UCLA’s robotics research institute, RoMeLa. He is widely recognized as a leading authority in the field of robotics, with expertise in humanoid robots, robot locomotion, soft actuators, and robots designed for rough terrain navigation.
Looking ahead, HLB 바카라 사이트 plans to collaborate with ACA NEXT, a comprehensive senior care service provider in Japan, to expand into the broader Asian market, including Thailand and Malaysia, as well as Japan, with its lineup of medical and living assistance robots.
“The fields of medical and living assistance are among the areas where robotic technology can most directly contribute to everyday life,” said Professor Dennis Hong of UCLA. “Through collaboration with HLB 바카라 사이트, I aim to develop medical and living assistance robots that address real-world needs and to drive technological innovations that offer practical support for an age-friendly society.”
“The K-medical and living assistance robot brand that we are developing in collaboration with Professor Hong is a strategic initiative that extends beyond mere technological development, encompassing the commercialization of robots for real-world applications and their expansion into 바카라 사이트 markets,” stated Kim Kwang-jae, CEO of HLB 바카라 사이트. “Moving forward, we aim to lead the senior-friendly robotic sector, including medical and living assistance, through our company’s unique execution capabilities and agility,” he added.
