The high level of interest in smart factory and automation technologies in South Korea is understandable – the country has the highest density of industrial robots per 1,000 workers in manufacturing of any nation on Earth.

Additionally, some of its companies are not only global operations, they are household names all over the world.

Samsung, for example, which recently released what is one of the first foldable smartphones (see infographic below), is headquartered in Seoul, the capital city of South Korea.  [Read more…] about Infographic: Samsung’s foldable smartphone

June 14, 2018 by David Edwards

Trump-Kim_meeting_in_Capella_Hotel_(1)

North Korea is often referred to as a hermit kingdom of sorts, or the last bastion of communism remaining in today’s largely capitalist world. 

But it’s probably more accurate to think of it as a militaristic nation which has been on a war footing ever since the 1950s when it was the battleground for forces from the US, UN and China, as well as its own.

So, for the past 70 years, the country’s population of 25 million have had to live on food rations provided by the communist government.  [Read more…] about Country Insight: The potential for development in communist North Korea

Technically speaking, South Korea just introduced world’s first ‘robot tax’

August 10, 2017 by David Edwards

South_Korea

It was kind of funny when the idea of asking robots to pay their fair share of taxes was first floated, but it seems some are taking it seriously. 

Bill Gates was one of the first to talk about it, but not many probably took him all that seriously.
