South Korea to Build 'Robot Land' Park

by Terrence O'Brien on August 29, 2007 at 01:54 PM


Everybody loves robots. Especially cute types like the wiry, metallic guy above. And even as it prepares for the robot uprising, South Korea can't help but embrace our machine-like friends.

Rumor has it that South Korea is preparing to build 'Robot Land,' a $500 million industrial park dedicated to robotics. The complex will house manufacturing facilities, research centers, and exhibition sites for robotics competitions. Despite the slightly misleading name, though, there will be no theme park, so there's no worry of a Westworld-type scenario... for now.
