韩国政府宣布到2030年投入2.3万亿韩元建设人形机器人生态并采购1,080台国产人形机器人

The South Korean government will invest a total of 2.3 trillion won ($1.6 billion) by 2030 to build up a humanoid robot ecosystem. To generate early demand, it will buy 250 units next year and 1,080 units in total over the same period.
The Ministry of Planning and Budget held its second Fiscal Management Strategy Council meeting on the 27th to discuss the investment plan for fostering a humanoid ecosystem and field-testing physical AI.
The government will first channel 2.3 trillion won into the humanoid sector through 2030. Including private investment, the total rises to 2.7 trillion won. It plans to establish mass-production systems for humanoids tailored to 10 major industries, including automobiles, shipbuilding, home appliances and logistics, and to raise the share of domestically produced core components to 80% from the current 45%.
The government will also create demand through bulk purchases. It will buy 250 domestically made humanoids next year and expand purchases to 1,080 units by 2030. Robots supplied to universities and state-funded research institutes must be domestically produced down to their components and software. Including non-humanoid machines such as four-legged walking robots, government purchases will rise to about 1,700 units in 2027 and about 5,000 units by 2030.
New research and development programs will be launched for weak component areas such as actuators, robotic hands and sensors, and the government will also develop AI chips for humanoids, all-solid-state batteries and operating systems. About 20,000 specialists in manufacturing AX and physical AI will be trained by 2030.
For physical AI field testing, the government will spend 700 billion won next year and 2.8 trillion won by 2030. Including private and local government funding, the total reaches about 4 trillion won. More than 500 test sites will be created next year alone across eight major areas, including autonomous manufacturing, small-scale manufacturing, agriculture, care services and national defense. Mobility and rehabilitation assistance robots will be deployed at nursing homes and facilities for people with disabilities, while the military will test unmanned ammunition transport vehicles, humanoids for perimeter guard duty and reconnaissance drones.
Support for small and medium-sized enterprises with high growth potential will also be strengthened. Each year, 300 companies will be selected across four areas — new security, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, climate technology and Korean consumer goods — and receive more than 10 billion won per company for up to five years. Next year's allocation is 238.8 billion won. The government also plans to streamline 671 SME support programs run by 22 ministries and agencies to save about 4 trillion won, and to reinvest the money in programs with proven results and in new industries.
