Researchers develop distorted video image restoration technique for autonomous driving
SEOUL -- Researchers from a prominent state research institute have developed a video image restoration technique that can correct video images distorted or partially covered by fog. The technique can be applied to autonomous cars that use cameras to detect pedestrians and other on-road obstacles. Autonomous vehicles normally use light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensors or cameras to detect other cars, pedestrians, and other obstacles like animals to prevent accidents. Some car

Hospital in Seoul treats 16-month-old leukemia patient with self-produced CAR-T treatment
SEOUL -- Using chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, autologous white blood cells genetically modified after being obtained from the patient's blood, pediatricians saved a 16-month-old leukemia patient. The child treated at one of the largest hospitals in Seoul became the youngest patient who recovered through CAR-T therapy in South Korea. Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells attack tumors' antigens by genetically manipulating and culturing T cells, white blood cells

Researchers develop four-legged robots capable of climbing steel plate walls
SEOUL -- Researchers developed a four-legged robot capable of traveling on rough and uneven surfaces made of steel. The robot with magnetic feet can climb up walls and freely move around on ceilings to help human workers who inspect large facilities such as vessels, bridges, and storage tanks. Existing climbing robots that move on wheels and caterpillar tracks are limited to travel on rugged surfaces, while legged robots that can climb over such surfaces are extremely slow or unabl
