Educational Vision

『Realization of customized education for creative innovation based on artificial intelligence and robotics to foster talents capable of satisfying the needs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution』

Educational Purpose

․ Course to develop creative systems led by each individual for new graduate students

․ Implementation of collective intelligence through collaboration of five groups

․ Realization of customized innovative education that enables hands-on experience based on the key areas of the quaternary economic sectors including artificial intelligence, virtual environment, and intelligent robotics

Educational Contents

- Establishment of the state-of-the-art infrastructure related to artificial intelligence technology, intelligent robotics, AR/VR technology based on virtual environment, and technology for human-environment interaction and provision of fundamental education necessary for the establishment
- Inducing graduate students to carry out creative projects based on system prototyping using 3D printers and one-on-one mentoring by professors
- Each team develops a creative system for two semesters and, at the end of the second semester, an internal contest is held; certificates of merit and the right to participate in an external contest are granted to awardees of the internal contest.

Educational Courses

Provision of education about the whole process from planning to producing in a systematic way through the Design Thinking Process by utilizing artificial intelligence technology, intelligent robotics, and cultural technology. Through this process, robotics, artificial intelligence, and digital technology are converged and integrated, and students can understand various techniques including those for expressing thought and develop creative thinking skills.
