Collaborative robots, which consist of a gripper and a robot arm, are rapidly spreading in the market, and technological development is also progressing rapidly, with the payload now reaching 30 kg. In addition, research on cooperation with other robots rather than with humans has been actively conducted recently.

Robotis, which has been researching and producing only robots for 26 years since its establishment in 1999, was hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and jointly organized by the Korea Robot Industry Association, Korea Robot Industry Promotion Agency, and the Society for Control and Robot Systems, and held an exhibition in Ilsan from the 23rd to the 26th. We participated in ‘2024 Robo World’ held at KINTEX and demonstrated collaboration between collaborative robots and self-driving robots.

Robotis has achieved remarkable results in the field of service robots by steadily developing and commercializing robot-specific actuators called ‘Dynamixel’, and has recently also introduced self-driving robots.

Robotis CEO Kim Byeong-soo, who introduces himself as a ‘representative employee,’ said about the ‘collaborative robot using Dynamixel-Y’ unveiled at this exhibition, “It is a joint venture announced to expand the existing actuator-based business into a manipulator. “Robot,” he introduced.

According to CEO Kim’s explanation, the biggest feature of the collaborative robot introduced by Robotis is that it is slightly cheaper than collaborative robots from other companies, but can be ‘customized’ to suit the user’s characteristics.

CEO Kim said, “There were many cases where robots that were previously used in factories were used in restaurants or in daily life, but were not suitable in terms of price or purpose.” “The biggest feature is that the size of the reduction ratio can be changed,” he explained.

“The biggest meaning of this exhibition is that it not only shows how useful Robotis’ collaborative robots are and what functions they perform in the field, but also introduces to visitors a scenario that operates in conjunction with Robotis’ self-driving robots,” Kim said. The CEO revealed the significance of participating in this exhibition.

Regarding future business plans, CEO Kim said, “As we have started to introduce self-driving robots, the biggest problem is how to introduce them into daily life.” He added, “In addition to combining the manipulator and actuator that Robotis has, the robot arm is installed. “We will utilize the functions of Robotis’ self-driving robots to provide good services with good products in the market,” he said.
