ETRI developed a walking aid system that enables the wearer to move his/her joints freely by applying electrical stimulation to the muscle activation signals generated by the muscle.
As this system can be applied to all physical activities instead of being limited to specific movements such as walking and stair-climbing, this system is expected to help the elderly improve sarcopenia and the rehabilitating patient improve gait disorder.
As a result, this system is seen to help the elderly increase their activities for healthy life and to be used in various fields such as rehabilitation, health, and home training for muscle strengthening.

ETRI developed core software technology for computer vision and image processing on devices and acquired international standard certification for the first time in Korea. The results of the research team based on the acceleration standard (OpenVX) for computer vision processing can be applied to various hardware by developing software once. In particular, vision processing software can be operated with high performance using less power and can be automatically optimized. Thanks to these features, development expenses can be reduced, and considerable help can be obtained in fundamentally solving the software portability and compatibility issues of on-devices.

Domestic researchers developed a technology to make an existing quantum processor that operates only at very low temperatures to operate at room temperature. As a result, it will increase Korea’s competitiveness in quantum Internet technology even further and will greatly help in commercialization.
ETRI announced that it developed a light source device and an optical integrated circuit necessary for implementing quantum Internet using silicon and silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) and successfully implemented a quantum gate (CNOT) using such device and circuit.
The research team plans to conduct follow-up research to lead quantum Internet technology by improving the photon pair generation rate of the quantum light source device, reducing the propagation loss rate of the optical waveguide, and increasing the reliability of the gate to more than 99%.
