Reuters reported on 1/6 about Galaxy Corporation’s "Mach33: Physical AI" fashion show held in Seoul, South Korea last week. The event conveyed a message about how robots and humans will dress in the future. The show reflected the growing trend of robots appearing in social, cultural, and entertainment environments, rather than merely playing technical roles. AFP

The event took place at Galaxy Robot Park in Seoul, featuring robots alongside models in coordinated outfits. This venue is a robot-themed entertainment complex that integrates artificial intelligence, Kpop culture, and interactive games. AP

CEO Choi Yong-ho told Reuters, "I believe that one day, humans will wear robot-inspired outfits, and conversely, robots will wear human-inspired outfits. That is why we decided to host a realistic AI robot fashion show, because we hope to contribute to creating that world in the future". AFP

Galaxy Corporation stated the program aimed to demonstrate that robots are not replacements for humans but rather companions capable of sharing emotions. AFP

The fashion show occurred as South Korea continues to solidify its position as one of the world's leading robot-using economies. South Korea boasts the highest robot density globally, with over 1,000 industrial robots per 10,000 workers. The nation has invested heavily in automation, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and humanoid robots. AFP
