What Hyulim Robot does

Hyulim Robot Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based, KOSDAQ-listed industrial and service robotics manufacturer headquartered in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, with an additional Seoul office and a corporate research institute relocated to Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do in September 2025. The company's core product portfolio spans three categories: manufacturing robots (SCARA, desktop, multi-series cartesian/linear robots in standard, closed, dust-proof, and cleanroom variants), robot application systems (precision scribers with ±1μm repeatability, gantry systems, multi-axis controllers including the iM-U Series, the iMS-Jp controller, and the HerkuleX servo line), and service robots (Genibo, HOVIS LITE/FIGHTER, mobile platforms, and the integrated temi autonomous mobile robot). Specialized transfer robots for semiconductor wafer handling and flat-panel display glass handling target high-precision cleanroom manufacturing environments.

Hyulim Robot generates revenue through direct sales, inside sales, and a domestic dealer network spanning 15 Korean provinces, selling primarily to B2B manufacturers in the electronics, semiconductor, display, and general industrial automation sectors. The company also extends into the service robotics market through its temi platform partnership for customer-facing applications such as hospitality, telepresence, and customer service. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the business model appears to be unit sales of robots, controllers, and servos plus integration services. No revenue figures, headcount, or contract sizes are publicly available in the input data. Recent strategic positioning has emphasized a pivot toward smart logistics robotics through a partnership with TSI Korea, alongside ongoing capital raises via small-scale KOSDAQ public offerings.

The company maintains a corporate research institute, multi-language website presence (Korean, English, Chinese), and active investor relations disclosures consistent with its public-company status (119.6 million listed shares). Notable 2025 milestones include the appointment of Samdeok Accounting Firm as external auditor for fiscal periods 27–29 and the selection as "2025 Korea Robot Company of the Year." Strategic intent articulated in marketing materials emphasizes an evolution "from human-centered to machine-centered, from machine-centered to AI-centered," though no specific AI products, proprietary models, or patents have been disclosed.

Core offering

Hyulim Robot designs, manufactures, and sells industrial and service robots, including SCARA robots, desktop robots, Cartesian/linear robots, wafer and glass transfer robots, multi-axis controllers, and service robots such as the Genibo and HOVIS series. The company also provides application systems including scribers and gantry systems, serving semiconductor, electronics, display, and general manufacturing automation customers primarily in South Korea.

Product overview

Hyulim Robot offers a comprehensive portfolio of industrial and service robots organized into three main product categories: Manufacturing Robots (제조업용로봇), Robot Application Systems (로봇응용시스템), and Service Robots (서비스용로봇). The manufacturing robot lineup includes multiple cartesian/rectangular coordinate robot series (DRG, DRGC, DRH, DRA, DRM, DRMC) ranging from small general models to heavy-duty dust-proof variants, SCARA robots (DSA Series), desktop robots (DTR Series), and specialized transfer robots for semiconductor (Wafer Transfer Robot) and electronics (Glass Transfer Robot) manufacturing. Supporting the robot hardware are multi-axis controllers (iM-U Series, iMS-Jp), teaching pendants, and linear positioning systems (HUVW Series). The application systems include precision scribers and gantry systems. The service robot portfolio features the Genibo Series, HOVIS Series (LITE and FIGHTER variants), and Mobile Platforms, along with the HerkuleX Servo Series for robot motion control and the temi service robot for customer-facing applications.
