The main part of the MOU requires UNIST to develop educational courses, enabling Korean and Chinese talent to have proper education regarding smart robot, while QNT to provide robot solution needed for such education.

Ulsan ICT Promotion Agency will set up an international consortium with HIT's Robot institute to provide QNT's robot training equipment to Chinese education market.

As global manufacturing powerhouses are upgrading manufacturing technologies in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, it's urgent for Ulsan to secure manufacturing competitive edge.

Therefore, the manufacturing industry needs to closely cooperate with education to provide high-level personnel right for the industrial site.

Meanwhile, QNT is a technology startup, based in Ulsan, and developed world's first AI-based robot diagnosis solution and comprehensive quality management solution. It has conducted industrial technology project with UNIST since 2016, and has proven its technological capability, evidenced by SW engineering award from National IT Industry Promotion Agency.
