Robros Humanoid Wins Walking Performance Competition at International Conference

ROBROS humanoid IGRIS-C won a walking performance competition held during an international academic conference, showcasing global competitiveness.

Robros said IGRIS-C won the bipedal static obstacle avoidance competition in the adult size category, a side event of the IEEE-RAS 24th International Conference on Humanoid Robots held at COEX in Seoul.

IGRIS-C is designed as an AI researcher-friendly humanoid platform rather than a competition-only robot. It can efficiently collect AI training data and can be used in industrial proof-of-concept stages, serving as a bridge between research and industry.

Dr. Kim Seungyeon, who led the hardware design, said IGRIS-C was developed with balanced proportions and weight to build a platform that can be applied stably to a wide range of tasks, not just specific motions.

He added that he hopes IGRIS-C will carry out interaction tasks across diverse situations and become a trusted general-purpose humanoid standard platform in both research and industry.

CEO Noh Seungjun said bipedal walking is essential to move and work in human-centered infrastructure without constraints, and the company will advance the technology to walk more naturally on complex terrain such as stairs and slopes.
