FRT Robotics, a company specializing in wearable robots for the strength support industry, has signed an initial public offering (IPO) underwriting contract with NH Investment & Securities to promote listing on KOSDAQ.

The two companies held a signing ceremony on the 27th.

FRT Robotics was established in 2015 as a wearable robot specialized company founded by a government-funded research institute researcher. It has released and is selling the Step Up series for workers up to the fourth generation.

We hold patents related to core technologies for wearable robots for workers (worker intention recognition and robot joint control technology, wearable robot-specific drive technology, exoskeleton modular design and mechanism optimization technology, and real-time worker status monitoring AI technology).

Recently, in collaboration with Exobionics of the United States, we are conducting a demonstration project of Seoul City’s care robot targeting nursing care facilities under the Seoul Metropolitan Government. We plan to expand this into a distribution project in the future.

In addition, 360 wearable robots for workers will be delivered and operated on a trial basis to the Korea Forest Service, National Fire Agency, and Ammunition Support Command through the Korea Forest Service Procurement Innovation Product Registration and Public Procurement Service Public Procurement Purchase contract. This is the largest single domestic contract in terms of delivery scale.

In addition, we are discussing continuous purchase and mass distribution with local governments such as Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongbuk, and Gwangju Metropolitan City, as well as private companies including secondary battery and shipbuilding companies.

The 4th generation of StepUp focuses on customized products using a semi-active actuator method. The 5th generation is being developed with a focus on lightweight and modular products tailored to each user's body. It is scheduled to be released in 2025.
