KAIST and Dassault Systèmes can now view the robot design process in real time in 3D.


On the morning of the 7th, at the KAIST Humanoid Robot Research Center in Daejeon, Dassault Systèmes announced that it would provide the necessary technical support for the future robot development process.

In addition to 'SOLIDWORKS Premium', 'SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium' and 10 'SOLIDWORKS Education' licenses were donated.


This collaboration was made possible when the KAIST Humanoid Robot Research Center won first place in the DARPA Robotics Challenge held in California, USA in June of this year with the robot 'HUBO' designed using SolidWorks.






The research team used SolidWorks to design the humanoid robot's bipedal walking algorithm, sensor structure, and detailed joints, and to analyze weight, angle, part placement, and movement.


Professor Oh Jun-ho's research team at KAIST said, "In robot design, the key is to place numerous parts such as motors, circuits, wires, and sensors in a small space and operate them without problems. “I was able to check the design process in real time in 3D through SolidWorks.”

"I am confident that SolidWorks' active support will greatly contribute to the Korean robotics industry's advancement into the ranks of advanced robotics nations, enabling it to advance further. Going forward, we plan to further leverage SolidWorks to develop humanoid robots with more natural appearances and higher performance," he said.

“We hope that this collaboration will contribute to the development of not only humanoid robots but also various robotics industries,” said Yongho Kim, CEO of SolidWorks. “At Maven, we will spare no effort in providing technical support so that SolidWorks’ powerful features can be applied to various aspects of robot development.”
