A project jointly executed by students of Ajou University and Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University for the development of a barista robot has been successfully completed.A presentation on the achievements of the barista robot project was held at Nanyang Technological University from January 16 to 20. The presentation brought together students from Ajou University and Nanyang Technological University who completed the joint project, which had been conducted online since September last year.The international industry-academia-research project was conceived by an Ajou University professor of mechanical engineering in Semester 2 last year who thought it would be a valuable learning experience for the participating students. Six Ajou University students and five mechanical and aerospace engineering students from Nanyang Technological University formed the project team in September of last year, with the objective of designing an AI robot that uses computer vision technology to make hand drip coffee. The six Ajou University students who participated in the project were Im So-yeon (digital media), Park Yong-joon (industrial engineering), Park Jun-ha (industrial engineering), Lee Dong-geon (industrial engineering), Kim Young-chan (integrative systems engineering), and Lee Chang-hoon (integrative systems engineering). Integrative Systems Engineering Professor Min Hyeun Jeong directed the students, who were provided with technical support from Cobosys, a robotic and automation solutions company. In the course of designing the barista robot, the Ajou University and Nanyang Technological University students held weekly online progress meetings on their research of hand drip coffee recipes used by expert baristas, their development of algorithms (water amounts, spiral drip control, etc.) for application of the recipes, and use of 3D cameras and deep learning for object recognition. The barista robot created through the project is able to locate the hand drip set used in coffee making through object recognition and the use of six-axis robot arms with grippers in executing sophisticated movements. The robot intelligently responds to any accident factors in operation to make coffee of a consistently high quality, which it then places in a serving area. A major achievement of the project is the use of computer vision technology in hand dripping automation, an example to be followed in future development of autonomous barista robots. Industrial engineering student Park Yong-joon, one of the participating Ajou University students, commented, “The project was memorable because it had me working with many others, attending meetings in English, and working with robot arms and AI vision technology, all of which were new experiences for me.” He added, “The lessons I learned though this five-month project will help me with choosing my career path.” Nanyang Technological University is an emerging university in Singapore, a tech education powerhouse that has been referred to as “the MIT of Asia,” having ranked 26th in the world in the 2024 QS World University Rankings and first in the 2023 THE Emerging Economies University Rankings.The project was made possible through the International Industry-Academia-Research Cooperation-based Education Model Development/Operation Support Project of the LINC 3.0 Project in execution by Ajou University. In the development of global talent, Ajou University jointly develops and uses learning materials and curricula with the faculty of foreign universities, gives students opportunity to gain experience at foreign universities and companies, and maintains an international network of industry-academia-research collaborators to plan and execute joint education projects. The development of effective global education models is a major focus of Ajou University. The students giving a presentation on project outcomesThe barista robot making hand drip coffee

Ajou University participated in CES 2024, the largest IT and appliance expo in the world, achieving a milestone in industry-academia cooperation on the global stage.Student and faculty entrepreneurs from Ajou University took part in CES 2024 in Las Vegas, United States, from January 9 to 12, where they showcased new technology. They were accompanied by 12 Ajou student “shadowers.” The international activity was made possible by support lent through Ajou University’s Global Future Innovation Technology Project, executed as part of the Korean government’s Leaders in Industry-university Cooperation (LINC) 3.0 Project.At CES 2024 Ajou University ran six booths, two of which also conducted investor relations activities. The booths housed AIPS, a student startup, Re-Knet, a startup by a professor, Davinch Q and Cobosys, subsidiaries of Ajou University’s technology holding company, and InBic and SyncLink, family companies of Ajou University. InBic and AIPS were the two companies that engaged in investor relations activities at CES 2024. A major achievement by the Ajou University contingent was the conclusion of an export contract valued at KRW 4 billion. Student startup AIPS (top image) is a deep tech company which develops advanced hardware and software. Cho Young-min, a mechanical engineering student, is one of the CEOs of AIPS, formed in August and now run by a team of five. Neural processing unit (NPU) solutions related to semiconductors and software used in the cloud, autonomous driving, robots, and other intelligent technologies are some of its development focuses. The product AIPS brought to CES 2024 was Skynet, an affordable solution for AI service acceleration. Re-Knet, founded by Ko Young-bae, a professor of software and computer engineering at Ajou University, develops positioning and navigation services using ultra-wideband technology. To CES 2024 Re-Knet brought Handy UB, a precision indoor tracking service designed for the safety of persons with disabilities, and Navi Neck, a pet wellbeing app which uses augmented reality technology to track location, manage health, and analyze pet behavior. Davinch Q, a subsidiary of Ajou University’s technology holding company, has since its establishment made progress using patents held by Ajou University. To CES 2024 the company brought Onesec, a western imaging system for protein detection to compete with western blot protein detection systems in their respective market. Davinch Q is only the second in the world to have developed the technology used by Onesec, which engages in precision measurements without signal strength distortion and is more competitively priced than the western blot protein detection system, an advantage which warrants the production of a protein detection system in Korea.Cobosys, another subsidiary of Ajou University’s technology holding company, develops robot automation solutions and was founded in 2019 by Park Jaeil, an industrial engineering professor at Ajou University, and his business partner, Dr. Jang Kyung-hoon. At CES 2024, Cobosys introduced a smart farming robot it had jointly developed with the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology. Cobosys manufactures a range of robot-based automation solutions, among them a “coffeebot” and “chickenbot” designed for automation of the food and beverage industry. At CES 2024 Cobosys concluded an export contract with US company Flamingo Robot, which will involve Cobosys supplying 100 coffeebots, worth around KRW 4 billion.
