Ewha Womans University's Simulation-Based Convergent Content Research Center participated in the 2025 ITRC Human Resources Development Fair, held at COEX in Samseong-dong from Thursday, April 24 to Friday, April 26, operating a special exhibition booth and being selected as an “Excellent Exhibition Center.”
The Simulation-Based Convergent Content Research Center is led by Professor Kim Young-Jun from the Department of Computer Science at Ewha Womans University. The center is a multidisciplinary industry-academia research group comprised of Ewha as the lead institution, with participating institutions including Sungkyunkwan University, Korea University, KAIST, Seoul National University, Innosimulation, and BaroAI.
The center focuses on developing technologies for generating convergent content necessary to create ultra-realistic simulated reality. Based on this research, the center aims to train specialized talent in ICT convergence content that will lead the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Now in its sixth year of research, the center has published 45 academic papers—including top-tier SCI journals such as Nature—won awards at prestigious international conferences, filed 39 domestic and international patents, and contributed to international standardization.
In the special exhibition, the center showcased a range of technologies, particularly those involving digital content creation using physical AI, drawing significant attention from visitors.
One highlight was the demonstration of non-planar automated drawing technology using a collaborative robot, previously exhibited at the CO-DRAW exhibition held at Ewha's Art Center. The 7-degree-of-freedom collaborative robot painted on irregular surfaces such as water buckets and flowerpots, presenting creative applications of physical AI in art.
The second demonstration featured the ERP autonomous racing vehicle, which has won several autonomous driving competitions. A simulation experience was also provided, where visitors could watch a race between the autonomous racing car and a manually driven one, offering interactive insight into autonomous driving technologies.
The third featured demo was Bouncy Echo, a simulation-based virtual musical instrument. Visitors could enjoy performances by the autonomous virtual instrument or use physical keys provided at the booth to play music themselves.
Additionally, the center presented a robot wrestling simulation that earned third place at the IEEE ICRA 2023 Humanoid Robot Wrestling Competition. Attendees could select humanoid wrestlers and observe their matches, with opportunities to interact with the humanoids during the simulation.
Beyond live demonstrations, the center also presented posters and video content showcasing a variety of research achievements. These included immersive content creation and editing technologies for one-person media using large multimodal and generative AI models, large-scale fluid-deformable object simulation using co-optimization, and AI-based virtual learning assistants powered by large language models.
