The Incheon, South Korea-based company specializes in manufacturing core robotic components, advanced end effectors, and systems designed to enhance robot autonomy and human-robot collaboration.
A South Korea-based robotic hand developer has begun preparations for an initial public offering while completing a Series B funding round to support global expansion. The company specializes in manufacturing robotic hands for humanoid robots, with products ranging from two-fingered grippers to five-fingered models that weigh less than one kilogram and feature multiple independently driven joints. Humanoid robotic hands are a critical challenge in the robotics industry because they contain numerous micro-actuators and sensors that create multiple points of failure, leading to frequent breakage and repair needs during normal operations. The company has addressed this by designing its hand products to allow easy repair and replacement of individual fingers and joints, recognizing that durability will be essential for humanoid robots to survive industrial and commercial deployment.

The new Flexley Stack F712 autonomous forklift can work in storage and retrieval. Source ABB Robotics. ABB Robotics today launched the Flexley Stack F712, an autonomous forklift. The company said the latest addition to its mobile robot portfolio creates a more complete, interoperable ecosystem. ABB said it designed the Flexley Stack F712 for demanding material handling, end-of-line storage, and warehouse operations across industries, including automotive manufacturing. The company said its new a

In a world where self-driving robotaxis glide through major city streets without drivers behind the wheel and delivery drones autonomously fly through the skies to drop off orders at customers’ homes, the idea of general-purpose robots helping humans with various tasks in workplaces or even homes may not seem far-fetched. But that future hinges on developing increasingly autonomous robots powered by modern artificial intelligence—an ambitious vision that has motivated many researchers to become
