ROAI, a startup developing autonomous manufacturing solutions based on AI robotics, announced on the 13th that it had attracted seed investment of 1.4 billion won. FuturePlay participated as the lead in this investment, and Schmidt and Mark & Company jointly invested.
ROAI is a technology-based company spun off from Hyundai Motor Company’s Manufacturing Solutions Division, and was established based on world-class manufacturing know-how and field experience. It is developing AI robotics solutions to solve complex automation design and human dependency issues.
XELO, the core product of Roai, is an integrated platform that automates the entire process from manufacturing process design to robot control. Users can ▲design factories and simulate production processes directly in a web-based 3D environment through XELO Workspace, and ▲XELO AI automatically performs complex tasks such as process distribution, speed optimization, and motion generation, allowing the entire production process to be completed with a single click.
“Under the vision of a ‘one-click factory’ where production is possible with a single click, ROAI aims to lower the entry barriers to manufacturing and help anyone easily build an automated production line,” said Roai CEO Hong Seok. “Our goal is to implement a fully unmanned automated factory by integrated control of various robots such as 6-axis robots, AGVs, and humanoids, and to present a new standard for the manufacturing industry through this.”
“ROAI’s greatest strength is that, based on a deep understanding of the domain, it can develop planning solutions that encompass the entire factory and process, beyond simple robot-level path planning,” said Aram Jeon, senior judge at Futureplay, who led this investment. “As the introduction of robots in manufacturing companies increases and the complexity of tasks increases, we expect the potential for a scalable business based on the references secured through in-house venture experience.”
