Now Robotics is seeking to appoint Professor Lee Kyu-bin of Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology as an outside director.

Now Robotics Co., Ltd. (CEO Jong-Joo Lee), an intelligent robot specialist company, announced on the 11th that it has appointed Professor Kyu-Bin Lee of the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), an expert in AI and humanoids, as an outside director.

Nowrobotics approved the appointment of Professor Lee Kyu-bin as an outside director at its board meeting on the 8th, and the matter is scheduled to be finalized at the extraordinary general shareholders' meeting on September 26th.

Professor Lee Kyu-bin is recognized as a leading domestic expert in reinforcement learning-based robot control, simulation-based motion learning, autonomous driving systems, and humanoid intelligence technology. He earned his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering from KAIST. He has also worked at the KAIST Neuroscience Center and the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology on the development of cognitive robots, control algorithms, and AI-based robot software.

Since 2018, he has been working at GIST, leading research on industrial and humanoid robot intelligence. He is currently working as a core researcher in the AI and control division of the national K-Humanoid Joint Project.

Now Robotics currently has the orthogonal robot 'NURO', the multi-joint robot 'NORO-X', the scara robot 'NUCA', and the autonomous logistics robot 'NUGO' as its main products, and is also developing the high-speed collaborative robot 'NUCO series'.

The industry sees Professor Lee Kyu-bin's addition as an outside director as a strategic decision aimed at strengthening the company's AI-based robot control strategy and accelerating its response to the humanoid market.
