MSIT to overhaul radio wave rules hindering physical AI, expand outdoor radar use

South Korea will allow outdoor use of object-detection radar for autonomous mobile robots and ease regulations on industrial wireless chargers to help spread physical AI. The Ministry of Science and ICT also plans to shorten approval times for radio wave experiments in the defence sector through a fast-track system. It will extend the use period for 400 MHz analog walkie-talkies and introduce radio-based public guidance services for the hearing-impaired and elderly.
