, ‘According to the industry on the 15th, Rainbow Robotics (277810), which received an investment from Samsung Electronics (005930), recently confirmed the delivery of its humanoid-form mobile dual-arm robot, ‘RB-Y1′, to Toyota, Japan’s largest car manufacturer. While specific contract conditions have not been disclosed, it is the first time a Korean venture robotic company’s robot is being utilized by a Japanese automotive company. Toyota is reportedly planning to actively introduce competitive robots from various companies to smartify its production plants.’,
,
, ‘Rainbow Robotics previously signed an agreement with the artificial intelligence (AI) solution company, Flape, last month to accelerate the development of industrial solutions using AI robots. Rainbow Robotics plans to apply Flape’s AI software to its mobile dual-arm robot and develop advanced autonomous manufacturing and assembly solutions for industrial sites.’,

, ‘HL (formerly Hanla) Group, after establishing the robot subsidiary HL Robotics last month, is acquiring the world’s first commercial outdoor parking robot company, ‘Stanley Robotics’. Stanley Robotics, which successfully commercialized the parking robot ‘Stan’ at Lyon Airport in France in 2018, also signed a parking robot subscription contract with one of the top three rail logistics companies in North America, ‘Canadian National Railway’, in September this year.’,
,
, ‘Before the launch of HL Robotics, HL Mandoo (204320) first unveiled its self-developed Level 4 (fully autonomous) autonomous parking robot ‘Parkie’ in December of last year. In July of this year, HL Robotics signed a ‘autonomous driving-based parking robot joint research’ business agreement with Incheon International Airport Corporation. HL Robotics aims to lead the global autonomous parking robot technology development through this acquisition and plans to dominate the world parking robot market, which is expected to grow to $6.7 billion (approximately 9 trillion won) by 2023.’,

, ‘CloBot, invested by Naver D2SF, has formed a strategic partnership with Boston Dynamics, acquired by Hyundai Motor Group, and is responsible for the official distribution and solution supply of the quadruped robot ‘Spot’ in the Korean market. CloBot plans to accelerate the commercialization of Spot in various industries in Korea, including manufacturing, logistics, construction, and public safety.’,
,
, ‘Furthermore, it will also launch the first maintenance service (On-site repair) in Korea. CloBot has formed a team of robot specialist engineers and trained in maintenance at the Boston Dynamics headquarters in the U.S. It aims to be the leading provider of robot automation solutions based on technological synergy between the two companies through this partnership.’,

, ‘BigWave Robotics, in collaboration with Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital and People & Technology, has completed the development of the ‘RaaS-based smart hospital service robot operation lead model’ centered on robot usage and started applying the RaaS pricing model at Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital. Unlike installment or leasing where a fixed amount is paid monthly regardless of usage, hospital RaaS incurs additional fees based on robot usage on top of the basic fee of approximately 1 million won per robot.’,
,
, ‘Starting at around 1 million won per robot, without additional installation or facility integration costs ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of won, it is more affordable compared to installment or leasing even with a high usage rate. Robot usage is measured comprehensively based on the number of commands executed by the robot and the distance traveled, among other factors. Usage can be viewed in real-time through BigWave’s heterogeneous robot integrated control platform ‘SOLink’ dashboard.’,
