What Eurobotics does

URobotics (유로보틱스, sometimes anglicized as Eurobotics) is a South Korean robotics startup founded in August 2024 in Daejeon by CEO Yoo Byung-ho and co-CTOs Oh Min-ho and Lee Dong-gyu, all KAIST alumni. The company develops autonomous walking robot solutions built on three technology pillars: Spatial Intelligence (sensor fusion across Camera, LiDAR, and IMU; SLAM; open-set perception), Mobility Intelligence (deep reinforcement learning-based whole-body control), and the EDK (E-DONG-KIT, Easy Deployment of Navigation Kit) — a standalone autonomy module designed for rapid integration across diverse robotic platforms.

The company's principal technical differentiator is a single-policy deep reinforcement learning locomotion controller that achieves stable walking across stairs, slopes, and uneven terrain using only proprioceptive feedback, without terrain-specific policy switching and without requiring real-world data during policy training. The platform is extended with Vision-Language Model and Large Language Model integration for open-world semantic and goal-conditioned navigation, and uses IsaacLab and MuJoCo-based sim-to-real transfer for policy development. In September 2025 URobotics entered the humanoid robotics market with a humanoid robot equipped with the EDK module, followed by public demonstrations (EDK #1 "Against the Wild" and EDK #2 "Unstoppable Runner").

URobotics operates a B2B enterprise sales motion targeting industrial and hazardous-environment operators, robot manufacturers, and integrators requiring mobility on uneven terrain; the company sells its EDK module and humanoid robot hardware through direct enterprise sales ([email protected], phone 070-4048-0806) without published pricing or self-serve channels. Commercial revenue is supplemented by non-dilutive government R&D funding via the Ministry of SMEs and Startups TIPS Deep Tech Track (July 2025) and a Ministry of Science and ICT Deep Tech Scale-Up Valley consortium with KAIST, Daejeon City, and Angel Robotics (September 2025). No commercial customers are publicly named, revenue is undisclosed, and the company is pre-commercial as of the latest disclosed milestones. Operations are based in Daejeon (headquarters) with a Seoul Gangnam branch established April 2025.

Revenue model

1. Robotics Hardware and Autonomy Modules: URobotics generates revenue through the sale of its EDK (Easy Deployment Kit) autonomy modules and humanoid robot products, which are integrated into customer robot platforms. The company also appears to derive revenue from robot system development services and deployment support for its autonomy solutions.
2. Research and Development Services: As a TIPS (Tech Incubator Program for Startup) and Deep Tech Scale-Up Valley selected company, URobotics receives R&D funding support from government programs (Ministry of SMEs and Startups, Ministry of Science and ICT), which contributes to its revenue stream for technology development.

Core offering

Eurobotics develops autonomous walking robot solutions centered on its EDK (Easy Deployment of Navigation Kit / E-DONG-KIT) — a standalone autonomy module for rapid integration across diverse robotic platforms — and proprietary Spatial Intelligence and Mobility Intelligence technologies powered by SLAM, sensor fusion, and a single-policy deep reinforcement learning controller. The company sells EDK-equipped humanoid robots and autonomy modules to enterprise customers, robot manufacturers, and industrial operators needing robots that can move through complex, irregular, and hazardous environments.

Product overview

URobotics (Eurobotics) is a Korean robotics company that develops autonomous walking robot solutions enabling robots to move freely anywhere. The product portfolio centers on the EDK (E-DONG-KIT, Easy Deployment of Navigation Kit) — a standalone autonomy module for rapid integration across diverse robotic platforms — complemented by proprietary Spatial Intelligence and Mobility Intelligence technologies. Spatial Intelligence provides perception, sensor fusion (Camera/LiDAR/IMU), mapping, and localization capabilities; Mobility Intelligence delivers whole-body control via deep reinforcement learning and AI-based navigation. The company has entered the humanoid robotics market with humanoid robots equipped with EDK. The ecosystem includes a Robotics System team developing deployable products, a Mobility Intelligence team for control and navigation, and a Spatial Intelligence team for perception and mapping.
