A research team from Myongji University's Department of Electronic Engineering, led by Professor Delgado Raimond, is embarking on a significant national project in partnership with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). This initiative, part of a large-scale strategic research program, aims to secure core source technologies for the future of robotics, particularly in the realm of humanoid robots.

The team's primary focus will be on developing a real-time embedded software architecture and control reconfiguration technology for modular humanoid robots. This involves creating a system that can flexibly adapt to changes in the robot's physical structure. Key areas of development include body topology recognition, real-time embedded software structure, an integrated real-time/non-real-time execution framework, and a control reconfiguration architecture.

The core innovation lies in creating a software-based technology that automatically reconfigures device recognition, control structures, and execution environments in real-time as the robot's hardware changes. This is expected to lay a standard foundation for embedded robot software applicable to various modular robot and humanoid systems, as well as the next generation of Physical AI.

The participation of numerous graduate and undergraduate researchers from Myongji University highlights the project's role in nurturing future talent. This collaboration not only acknowledges the research team's capabilities but also promises to elevate the university's standing in real-time embedded software, robot system architecture, and Physical AI, cultivating specialized professionals for the future robotics industry.

The goal is to develop a real-time embedded software architecture and control reconfiguration technology for modular humanoid robots.
