Robotown: Robot and Physical AI Matching Platform Enters Beta

Good news has arrived for companies, institutions, and individuals considering the introduction of robots, physical AI, and unmanned technologies. This is because 'Robotown', a user-centric matching platform, has started its beta service. This platform innovates the complex process of robot adoption. It meticulously assists with every step, from technology exploration and adoption decisions to even proof-of-concept (PoC) support in actual field settings, all tailored to the user's perspective. While the importance of physical AI technology has recently grown, particularly in manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, and healthcare, there have been many complaints that it is difficult to find suitable solutions or reliable suppliers in the field, and the technology review process is also challenging. To quench this thirst, Robotown offers expert consultation and optimal supplier matching services across a wide range of fields, including humanoids, AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), service robots, factory/warehouse automation solutions, agricultural and security/patrol robots, and physical AI-based automation. For companies wishing to adopt these technologies, it connects them with PoC demonstrations and testing opportunities, thereby facilitating successful technology adoption. Suppliers can also create new business opportunities through a performance-based revenue-sharing model upon successful demonstrations. Winner's Lab, the operator of Robotown, has built solid experience even before this service. In 2015, they established a branch in Shenzhen, China, and successfully matched over 200 demand-supply projects in prototype development and mass manufacturing under the 'MakerHub' brand over 10 years. They have also organized over 20 local programs in China for major Korean institutions and companies such as the Korea AI & Robot Industry Association, Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement, LG Electronics, and Hynix, demonstrating their global network and expertise. Dong Woo-sang, CEO of Robotown (CEO of Winner's Lab), emphasized, "While Korea is rapidly adopting intelligent robots and physical AI, it is still difficult to decide which robot to choose and which technology has been verified." He stressed that Robotown will solve these on-site difficulties and become a key hub connecting demanders and suppliers. Furthermore, he revealed his ambition to actively support the overseas expansion of domestic robot and physical AI companies through future global service expansion.
