Robotom Co., Ltd. (CEO Se-Yong Yoon and Hee-Jin Kang), an AIoT-based robotics housing solution company, has been finally selected for the 'Design Industry Technology Development Project' promoted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology Planning and Evaluation . This national R&D project will be carried out with a total of 2.3 billion won in government support over 3 years and 9 months.
Through this project, Robotom is challenging the development of the world's first 'multimodal data-based smart furniture and intelligent space utilization solution'. The core technology is to analyze various multimodal data such as voice, behavior, and sensors to identify the user's status and patterns in real time, and implement hyper-personalized space design that automatically adjusts space and furniture accordingly.
For example, when AI recognizes the user's waking state, the space reacts actively, such as when a bed moves to the ceiling and a closet automatically opens. When a guest is detected, a table automatically expands and the lighting switches to party mode.
The main goals of this research and development are ▲development of multimodal AI algorithms ▲interactive furniture design linked with robot systems ▲improvement of space optimization rate and user experience quality ▲establishment of a test bed based on a real environment ▲establishment of a subscription-based smart space service model and mass production system.
Robotom is a company specializing in product design and environmental design, and was the first in Korea to commercialize a residential solution utilizing robotics. Currently, through the 'Staghands' brand, it operates 'Roboterior' furniture that can change spaces with a single button, such as a vertically movable bed and a horizontally movable wardrobe.
The joint research will be conducted in cooperation with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). Dr. Kwak So-na’s team at KIST has been recognized for its technological prowess by winning several awards at the world’s most prestigious academic conferences in the fields of human-robot interaction (HRI) and social robots. Through this collaboration, they plan to accelerate the commercialization of high-difficulty smart furniture solutions that combine technology and design.
Kang Hee-jin, CEO of Robotom, said, “As smart home technology is rapidly developing, we need a next-generation living environment that goes beyond simple device control and allows the space to recognize and respond on its own. We will redefine the standard for truly smart spaces by integrating architecture, furniture, robotics, and AIoT technologies into our design.”
