Robotics edutainment company Robolink (CEO Hong Chang-pyo) announced that it will participate in the “Korea Educational Technology Fair,” which opens tomorrow (21st), and will showcase an education solution based on “Physical AI,” a next-generation education paradigm that is gaining attention.

At this exhibition, Robolink will focus on the autonomous driving car education kit ZUMI AI, introducing an instructional approach that enables learners to understand AI not as “code on a screen” but as “movement and behavior in the real world.” Physical AI refers to artificial intelligence that interacts with the actual physical world through sensors, cameras, motors, and environmental recognition, and has recently emerged as a core concept in the fields of robotics, autonomous driving, and smart factories.

ZUMI AI is an autonomous driving education kit that can operate without a computer and is designed to enable step-by-step learning on a single platform, from card coding and Entry (block-based coding) to Python and artificial intelligence. By utilizing a camera and various sensors, learners can experience lane recognition, object detection, sensor fusion, and machine learning–based decision-making, helping students directly see and physically grasp AI’s decision-making process.

A Robolink representative stated, “While AI education so far has largely remained at understanding algorithms on a screen, ZUMI AI is a Physical AI education tool that allows learners to feel ‘why AI makes a certain judgment’ through its actual movements,” adding, “It is a learning method that will be essential in an era when autonomous driving and robotics become part of everyday life.”

ZUMI AI is an upgraded model of the autonomous driving education robot ZUMI, which won the Best of Innovation Award at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2019, and comes with teaching materials for instructors and content linked to the Digital Seed Camp program. In advanced courses, project-based classes that simulate real traffic environments are also possible.

A Robolink official commented, “Taking this education fair as a starting point, we aim to establish ZUMI AI as the standard for next-generation AI and robotics education,” adding that online and offline seminars utilizing ZUMI AI are scheduled to be held in February.
