The Aerospace Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory (ARML, advised by Prof. Dae-Young Lee) successfully completed its outreach programs at the 2026 Daejeon Science Festival, held from April 17 to 19, 2026, at the Daejeon Convention Center (DCC) and Expo Science Park.
This year’s festival, held under the theme ‘Coexistence of AI and Humans’, was jointly organized and connected with the Korea Science Festival hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and Science Day at the National Science Museum. Over the three-day event, approximately 370,000 visitors attended, making it one of the largest science culture festivals in Korea.
At these programs, visitors were invited to operate a space rover using a controller and carry out simulated planetary exploration missions. They also had the opportunity to fold origami-based models and learn about the principles of foldable mechanisms used in real space systems, such as space solar panels. These hands-on programs drew strong interest from visitors of all ages, from children to adults, in space robotics and space mechanism research.
The Aerospace Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory plans to continue taking part in science outreach activities, providing more opportunities for students and the public to explore space robotics and develop their interest in future space technologies. This event was supported by the KAIST Communications Team and the KAIST In-space Servicing and Manufacturing Research Center (ISMRC).
