South Korean humanoid robot maker ROBROS has signed a memorandum of understanding with robot safety company Safetics to expand the use of humanoids at public and research institutions and abroad, ROBROS said on 5 November, iRobotNews reports. The agreement was signed on 4 November at RoboWorld 2026.
The companies will combine ROBROS's two-legged IGRIS-C humanoid and its whole-body control with Safetics' safety assessment work. They plan joint proposals for public and research institutions, field trials and on-site safety checks, trials in other countries, and test methods and test beds for the physical stability of humanoids.
ROBROS will supply the IGRIS-C platform along with control and technical support, and Safetics will handle the safety side.
