Robot microfactory enables on‑demand smart apparel
A South Korean research team has developed a robot‑driven microfactory capable of designing and producing customised smart garments on demand – a step toward scalable, personalised e‑textiles for sports, healthcare and electrical muscle stimulation training.
The Korea Institute of Industrial Technology said the team has built an on‑demand microfactory that combines virtual garment design, digital‑twin process verification and robotic cutting and sewing into a single automated workflow.
