Wearable Robots Deployed at National Heritage Inspection and Maintenance Sites

Donated by Hyundai Motor Company
Deployed to Four Heritage Care Centers

On September 8, the National Heritage Administration received a donation of ten "X-ble Shoulder" non-powered wearable robots from Hyundai Motor Company at the Haenggung-dong Administrative Welfare Center and Hwaryeongjeon in Paldal-gu, Suwon. These units will be deployed at four worksites where staff working on national heritage inspection and maintenance experience the greatest physical strain.

The "X-ble Shoulder," developed by the Robotics Lab of Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation, is a device designed to assist workers’ shoulder strength and reduce accident risks caused by repetitive arm movements. The equipment will be supplied to four regional cultural heritage care centers: Gyeonggi, Northern Gyeongsang, Southwestern Jeonnam-Gwangju, and Chungbuk.

The National Heritage Care Program primarily focuses on repairing minor damage to heritage assets and regularly managing their surrounding environments as a preventive measure. This support is expected to significantly address the safety blind spots faced by on-site personnel.
