What it does

ROBOTIS is a Korean maker of robot actuators, the motor-gearbox-controller units that move a robot's joints, sold under the Dynamixel brand; it also builds humanoid robots (AI Worker, AI Sapiens) and Gaemi delivery robots.

Why it matters

Its Dynamixel actuators are a common building block in robot-learning research, including the Stanford/Google DeepMind ALOHA project, and it is scaling humanoid-grade actuators (Dynamixel-Q) with production planned in Uzbekistan; LG Electronics is a minority shareholder.

How it makes money

Research labs, universities, educators and robot makers buy its actuators and robot kits; it is adding sales of humanoid and delivery-robot systems.
