Marking the 80th Police Day, the Korean National Police Agency opened a "Science-Based Policing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Exhibition" on October 21 in the first-floor lobby of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. In line with the national policy agenda of establishing Korea among the world's top three AI powers, the exhibition showed how artificial intelligence and advanced science and technology can protect the lives and safety of the public.
 

The exhibition was organized around six core policing domains directly tied to public safety, and drew visitors' attention with advanced technologies from a range of domestic companies.
 

Among them, FRT Robotics' wearable muscle-assist robot StepUp NEO was unveiled and attracted considerable interest. StepUp NEO is a next-generation muscle-assist suit that supports muscle strength and reduces fatigue when worn at sites requiring rapid deployment and heavy-load work, including police, military, and firefighting operations. Its passive (non-powered) drive method, which operates without a battery, enables extended continuous use, and the way assistive force is delivered only at the moment it is needed, in response to the user's movement, drew particular attention.

Through the exhibition, FRT Robotics presented its new industrial wearable robot and demonstrated its potential for application in disaster response and public safety.

Separately, StepUp Gen.4 is already registered as an Innovative Procurement Product, with a total of 360 units delivered to the National Fire Agency and the Korea Forest Service, where demonstration projects have been completed and the product has received strong evaluations in the field. This has demonstrated that wearable robots can deliver practical benefits for on-site safety and work efficiency.
 

An FRT Robotics representative said, "StepUp NEO goes beyond a simple assistive device. We will continue developing it into a next-generation wearable robot that reduces the real burden of disaster response and industrial work while improving safety and efficiency at the same time."
 

The exhibition remained open to the general public through October 24, following the Police Day event.
