The session included participation from TYM CEO Dohoon Kim, Professor Noboru Noguchi, a distinguished scholar in the field of robotic agricultural machinery from Hokkaido University's Faculty of Agriculture in Japan, and Professor Manoj Karkee from the Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Washington State University, who researches agricultural automation. The attendees, each an expert in their respective fields, engaged in a lively discussion on the direction of agricultural robot development, led by the session chair, Professor Yong-ju Kim from Chungnam National University (Director of the Eco-friendly Hydrogen Electric Agricultural Machinery Research Institute).

CEO Dohoon Kim stated, "For the advancement of agricultural robots, experts in various fields and agricultural machinery companies like TYM must act as a bridge connecting advanced technology with consumers," and added, "TYM is also developing autonomous tractors, telematics, and smart farm platforms through our subsidiary TYMICT."

"In a world where birth rates are declining and we are entering an era of an aging society, it is time to contemplate how to enhance agricultural productivity," he continued. "Governments, corporations, universities, and all institutions must come together to create momentum for the practical application of advanced agricultural technologies such as robots."

Just as this session has explored new possibilities in agriculture, TYM is actively engaging in the development of technologies that will become the driving force for future growth, seeking the potential for a transition to digital agriculture.
