  "account": "Researchers at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) robot technology that can recognize and operate objects. The team, led by Professor Kim Eui-hwan, created a technology that allows robots to understand not only objects but also their detailed parts and functions. This technology, called Unified 3DSG, overcomes the limitations of existing 3D scene graph technology, which could only recognize objects such as chairs and microwaves. The researchers demonstrated the technology's capabilities by applying it to a mobile robot called \"Stretch 3\", which was able to perform tasks such as turning on a TV and organizing laundry.",
