ROBROS Hosts Humanoid Robot Demonstration Project Research Exchange Meeting

[Edaily reporter Shin Young-bin] Humanoid robot company ROBROS is moving to expand industrial field demonstrations and commercialization of humanoid robots through industry-academia-research collaboration.

ROBROS announced on the 29th that it held the "IGRIS-C Humanoid Demonstration Project Research Exchange Meeting" at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas on the 26th.

This research exchange meeting was arranged to establish a cooperative framework for the successful execution of the humanoid demonstration project and its application to industrial sites. The event was attended by officials from the demand organizations, research institutions, and universities participating in the demonstration project. Participants shared the project's implementation plans and technology development directions, and discussed cooperation measures for successful industrial demonstration.

ROBROS was recently selected as the robot supplier for 3 of the 10 total projects in the humanoid demonstration program promoted by the Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement (KIRIA). The company plans to supply a total of 9 humanoid robots to various industrial sites, including semiconductor cleanrooms, automobile manufacturing plants, and refrigerated logistics centers. Through this, the company plans to fully expand the practical industrial application and commercialization of domestic humanoid robots.

At the event, the development direction of the humanoid industry and the demonstration project's implementation plans were introduced. ROBROS also shared recent technology development achievements of its humanoid platform, "IGRIS-C."

ROBROS plans to provide on-site technical support and operational support to the organizations participating in the demonstration project. It will also support operation and training programs so that companies and institutions adopting humanoids for the first time can operate the robots stably. For humanoids to be applied stably in actual industrial settings, not only robot performance but also operational experience and a technical support system are needed. According to the company, the participating organizations agreed that this demonstration project marks an important starting point for the spread of the domestic humanoid industry.

Roh Seung-jun, CEO of ROBROS, said, "This demonstration project is an important starting point where the humanoid industry expands beyond research and development into actual industrial sites." He added, "Starting with this research exchange meeting, we hope that the participating organizations will work together based on close cooperation to create successful demonstration cases, and become key players leading the domestic humanoid market that will grow going forward."
