Brand Story

A Step Toward Safety, Protecting the Future at the Forefront of Change

The Belief in Protecting the Field

Based on the belief that technology understanding the field ultimately transforms industries, we have been simultaneously pursuing product development and commercialization for over 20 years, directly shaping the wearable robot industry.

 

My core philosophy is human-centric technology. I believe robots should not replace human labor, but rather serve as tools that expand human capabilities and help people work more safely. Guided by this philosophy, I have spearheaded the entire journey from R&D to validation, commercialization, and deployment across public and industrial sectors, driving business growth.

 

Currently, as CEO of FRT Robotics, I am building a physical AI technology platform based on worker data accumulated through wearable robots. Furthermore, we are preparing to expand into next-generation exoskeletons and humanoid robots powered by this industrial data. My goal is to fundamentally innovate industrial safety and productivity through robotic solutions that combine technological competitiveness with field suitability.
