Domestic humanoid company ROBROS announced on the 18th that it received a commendation from the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy at the '2026 M.AX Awards' held at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry on the 17th.

The company is advancing IGRIS-C with a focus on tasks required at industrial sites, including object recognition and grasping, pick-and-place, and object transport. As of the end of August this year, a cumulative 36 units of IGRIS-C have been produced, with 18 units sold.

Seungjun Ro, CEO of ROBROS, said, "We are pleased that our efforts to build a humanoid that can be used at industrial sites have been recognized," adding, "We will further advance our technology and products so that Korea can emerge as one of the world's top three in AI robotics and the global leader in physical AI."
