The goal is to help the global robotics market will grow to more than $ 30 million in 2013 to help Korean companies take as much as 10 percent of that market, according to Huh Kyung, Director General of Industry in the emerging government of the Ministry Knowledge Economy, which is responsible for the regulation and supervision of high-tech industries in South Korea.

Robotics is one of the fastest growing successes of Korea's electronics and high tech manufacturing sectors and is one of the drivers of growth in the country over the next five years, Korean officials said during the announcement.
The First Basic Plan of intelligent robots called to Korea to be one of the top three producers of robotics and in 2013 the largest producer in 2018. The total is more than $ 1 billion U.S. for export and $ 3 million for domestic consumption.
The ROK has treated its IT infrastructure and industries as key drivers of economic growth since the mid-1990s, and undertook to promote the industry in service robotics in 2004, according to Dan Kara, president and publisher Robotics Business Review.
At that time, the Korean economic ministry launched a strategy called IT839, whose goal was to build a solid infrastructure for internal IT networks, and promote specific industries, high technology, including robotics service. It invested $ 264 million in five years in 16 projects designed to boost domestic industry of intelligent robotics, said Kara.
The effort, robotics, and Korean manufacturers have been remarkably successful, according to Kara.
"I'm not surprised the [Korean] government considers that robotics as an economic engine," according Barbara Coffey, an analyst at financial services firm Kaufman Brothers. "The market for South Korea has been a big winner in mobile phones and other electronics. It has been a leader in digital and broadcast applications for small devices, so it probably is in a good position for the robot and, if concerning the manufacture and research [capability]. “
One reason for an open market in Korea is the relative slowness with which U.S. manufacturers robots have been developed for non-traditional, non-industrial manufacturing, he said.
Globally, the bulk of the expenditure on products of robotics is in the form of industrial robots welding a car door or a microchip sewing and making site inspections of welding in computer motherboards, according to Daniela Rus , professor of computer science and engineering at MIT Ad associate director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
Speaking last week at the RoboBusiness conference in Boston, predicted that the Russian market of service robots alone will grow from about $ 600 million in 2002 to more than $ 52 billion in 2025, mainly driven by the need to increasingly elderly population in the U.S. and the countries of Asia, including Korea and Japan.
Japan is by far the most aggressive adopter of technology and robotics manufacturer has said Russia, despite Korea is also one of the leaders. In comparison, both the production and adoption of robots in the U.S. is "sad," said Russia.
Despite its advantages in the manufacture of electronics and robotics in particular, however, Korea will not have the market all to itself in the next five years, according to both Rus and Lindsay Voss, an analyst at Frost & Sullivan San Antonio, Tex.
U.S. spending on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) systems and other military robotics beyond other market sectors, said Voss.
"Over the next few years, although, as noted in Iraq and Afghanistan, there will be much less of a need to acquire unmanned aerial vehicles," says Voss. "Unless we engage in a conflict with another person, there will be some very large - General Atomics, AAI, Northrup Grumman - making a big push to sell unmanned aerial vehicles for civilian applications. That will probably change the market much."
Civilian applications include things like topography, agriculture, such as spraying, monitoring the progress of a crop, and keep an eye on the extensive real estate holdings - some of which require major changes in the military UAV versions, said Voss.
"There are companies out to buy a plot of farmland, and have a need a cheap way to see what happens with crops or dust, or whatever. UAV make a tremendous amount of respect for," says Voss.
Korea's plan focuses more on the services sector, breaking his point of view of robotics market in three major sectors, according to the level of sophistication and type of function that the robots are designed. The first is the manufacturing, education and cleanliness.
The second is for more sophisticated robots designed for entertainment, fire, elderly care, transportation and other complex tasks that require a high degree of autonomy and capacity.
The third relates to unmanned air vehicles or water, the human body and clothing similar robotic prostheses for amputees or to help with trouble walking.
The Government will increase spending on research and development in robotics by 10 percent next year to boost total spending on R & D more than $ 10 billion U.S., according to South Asia Arirang News.
Also introduces competitions for students and professional designers, and promote the theme park robotics. The government expects that investment to create over 14,000 jobs.
