South Korea to Create Robot Land
Posted on September 9th, 2007 in Latest NewsThough not the robot theme-park we all secretly want, South Korea has announced that it will be building a “Robot Land”, an industrial complex for its growing robotics industry. The location for Robot Land has yet to be chosen, but 10 provinces in Korea have submitted proposals. The cost of constructing the city is estimated at $500 million USD. Construction is slated to being in 2009.
A special government committee will pick the site for “Robot Land,” which would be the first of its kind in the world, by November, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy said. … The city, to be developed as the mecca for the country’s robotics industry, will house manufacturers, parts suppliers, research centers, exhibition halls and a stadium where robots can compete in various events, the ministry said.
I wonder if the city will be guarded by the sentry-bots?
