Rainbow Robotics

Rainbow Robotics was founded in 2011 by researchers from KAIST’s Humanoid Robot Research Center (HUBO Lab), the pioneers behind Korea’s first bipedal humanoid robot, HUBO. The company focuses on commercializing advanced robotic platforms through continuous R&D, specializing in collaborative robots (cobots), humanoid bipedal robots for research, and various robotic mounts for education, military, and industrial applications.

In 2023, Samsung Electronics became the largest shareholder, acquiring a 35% stake to accelerate development of intelligent humanoids and collaborative robots. Rainbow Robotics leverages Samsung’s AI and software expertise to enhance its robotics technology and expand globally. The company has a strong presence in manufacturing, logistics, and service industries, with products deployed worldwide including in the USA, Canada, and Germany.

Rainbow Robotics operates a subsidiary in the U.S. to provide technical support and foster collaboration with AI developers. Their mission is to lead the global humanoid robotics industry by 2030, contributing to the era of Physical AI by combining mobility, sensing, and control technologies for human-robot coexistence.
