[WIS 2016] Drone Wireless Charging System Application Expands Spatial Wireless Charging
Published2016.05.20 06:47The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) introduced a drone wireless charging system at the World IT Show (WIS 2016).
The Wireless Charging System for Drone applies magnetic resonance-based wireless energy transfer technology to provide convenient and safe charging services. By applying single transmitter/dual receiver charging technology, the degree of freedom in wireless charging has been expanded. The research team stated that it optimized transmission efficiency uniformity and overcame the energy supply limitations of drones, thereby expanding their operational range.
Additionally, ETRI also unveiled a wireless charging system for electric bicycles. The magnetic resonance-based wireless energy transfer technology was applied to electric bicycles. When electric bicycles enter a specific zone (E-Zone) through spatial wireless transmission, charging occurs, forming a uniform charging area (uniform field) with consistent energy density.
Moon Jeong-ik, Head of Research at ETRI's Broadcasting, Communications and Media Research Institute, stated, "Once the drone wireless charging system is commercialized, it can be applied to various mobile device fields such as battery wireless charging in the electric vehicle sector, IoT, and spatial wireless charging in high-flexibility application areas like wearable devices."

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
