Oliver Steinbock, Cottrell Family Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, is using artificial intelligence to generate songs that explain core chemistry concepts, like thermodynamics and compression, and break down dense equations such as the van der Waals equation.

A research team led by Professors Kyoungchul Kong and Jung Kim of KAIST’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, together with Angel Robotics Co., Ltd., has begun developing a bidirectional Brain-to-Robot technology that reads movement intentions from the brain to drive a full-body exoskeleton and feeds the robot’s sensory information back to the user. This highly challenging convergence technology has yet to be realized anywhere in the world. Within this cross-ministerial national project, KAIST serves as a core research institution responsible for AI-based signal processing.

KAIST is also actively pursuing fundamental research in brain-interface technologies, led by Professors Hyung-Soon Park, Sung-Ho Cho, Ji-Hoon Lee, Hyun-Joo Lee, Min-Gyu Je, and Jae-Woong Jeong.
