로브로스, CES 2026 HUMANOID M.AX Alliance 공동관서 휴머노이드 ‘IGRIS-C’ 플랫폼 출품... “해외 로봇 연구기관 집중 공략”
[Las Vegas (USA) = AVING News] On January 6 (local time), ROBROS (CEO Roh Seungjun) participated in the 'HUMANOID M.AX Alliance' joint pavilion at CES 2026, where visitors could overview 'Korean-style humanoid' technology in one place.
ROBROS is a domestic company that has accumulated expertise in the field of humanoid robot technology. It is developing robots equipped with precision control actuators, intuitive Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) design, and real-time motion prediction and situational adaptability based on proprietary algorithms.
In particular, ROBROS has secured a full-cycle technology stack ranging from mechanical design to system integration, assembly and production, control software, and AI (Artificial Intelligence).
Through this, it is currently presenting solutions for research and exhibition purposes.
Furthermore, the company explained that it is gradually advancing the technological perfection of each component with the goal of realizing a platform applicable to various industrial fields.
At this CES, ROBROS showcased its platform 'IGRIS-C', which represents the company's humanoid technology capabilities.
This is a mid-sized humanoid robot with a height of 154 cm and a weight of 60 kg, designed to implement precise movements with a total of 31 DoF (Degrees of Freedom) for the entire body excluding the hands.
Both hands feature a tendon-driven structure that connects the driving parts and joints with wires, exerting 6 active DoF each. When passive DoF is included, the total degree of freedom per hand reaches 11 DoF. In addition, the lightweight robot hand weighing about 300g can handle a maximum load of 3kg each, providing sufficient performance to handle overall everyday objects.
For the driving part, low reduction ratio (20:1 or less) QDD actuators were applied to enhance joint flexibility (compliance), exerting a maximum torque of up to 150Nm at the knee and hip pitch joints.
The walking mechanism was completed through reinforcement learning in a simulation environment, and stable walking performance was achieved through a combination of repeated learning and excellent mobility.
In fact, IGRIS-C won the bipedal walking and static obstacle avoidance categories at the 24th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots held at the end of September.
A ROBROS official stated, "CES 2026 is a golden opportunity to introduce our humanoid robot technology and the IGRIS-C platform to the global market," adding, "Until now, we have stayed within supplying robots for research, education, and exhibition fields domestically, but we intend to materialize our future business expansion plans by seeking opportunities for international technological exchange and cooperation at this event."
They continued, "Through CES, where the attention of global advanced technology officials, including robotics and AI, is concentrated, we plan to collect feedback on the technological level and operating environment demanded by the global market, and reflect this in our future technology development and business strategy establishment. Through this, we will accelerate the accumulation of technological stability and operational experience to promote exports centered around universities and research institutes in North America and Europe."
Meanwhile, the HUMANOID M.AX Alliance is a public-private consultative body formed in April 2025 with the participation of 260 institutions and companies, including ▲AI research institutes ▲robot manufacturers ▲parts suppliers ▲universities and research institutes, jointly promoting the demonstration of AI-based humanoids and their commercialization in industrial fields.
Among them, the HUMANOID M.AX Alliance joint pavilion set up at the CES 2026 site presented a practical model of connection between AI, platforms, and parts technologies, and ecosystem building, going beyond simple product exhibition.
