Profile

Yujin Robot is a KOSDAQ-listed robot maker in Incheon. It brands itself as a first-generation Korean robot company with a history dating to 1988, and The Korea Times reported in 2013 that it was founded in March 1988. The listed entity was incorporated in 1993 as the wholesale and retail firm ㈜지나월드 (Zinna World in transliteration), and it absorbed the robot business Yujin Robotics in a share exchange and merger in 2005 and 2006. It made iClebo robot vacuums and co-developed Miele robot vacuums until it ended that production in November 2024 and the related R&D contract in December 2025, and since 2019 it has shifted toward B2B autonomous-mobility products. Its current lineup, as the annual report describes it, is the GoCart autonomous mobile robot for factories, warehouses and hospitals, 3D LiDAR and SLAM controllers, a multi-robot control system, and factory assembly automation equipment. The company reports ISO 13482 certification for GoCart and exports to European hospitals and factories. For 2025 it reports revenue of KRW 28.2B (about $21M), an operating loss of KRW 5.0B (about $3.7M) and a net loss of KRW 7.0B (about $5.2M) on a separate basis. At Dec 31, 2025 its largest shareholder was Seaman LLC at 39.1%, a company Imanto AG owns, and Imanto AG itself held 12.3%; DigitalToday reports that Imanto's owner is Miele. NTIS lists Yujin Robot as lead organisation of sub-project 1 of a trade-ministry robot-industry program, covering humanoid picking and packaging for human-error management in online distribution centers, with a one-year FY2026 government share (not a multi-year total) of KRW 900M (about $670,000). Separately, Lotte Global Logistics and Lotte Hi-Mart said on Oct 7, 2026 that they joined a trade-ministry-backed logistics humanoid project led by Yujin that runs to March 2031, with C-So and the Korea Electronics Technology Institute as research partners. On Oct 14 it said it will extend from transport to task automation by combining its autonomy, fleet-control and integration capabilities with robot arms, vision and physical AI, an approach it describes as not tied to specific hardware. It was also selected as a participant in Korea's K-Humanoid Alliance in July 2025, per the annual report.

Notes HQ is 33 Harmony-ro 187beon-gil, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon (Songdo), per both the company's site and the annual report; the pin is street-level, not the building. Founded 1988 is the company's and The Korea Times' date; the listed legal entity dates to 1993. No founder is named in the sources used; Shin Kyung-chul is described as president since 1990, not founder. Market cap, not shown in the profile because it goes stale: about KRW 300B on the KRX confirmed close of KRW 7,850 on Nov 9, 2026 (38,235,486 listed shares), about KRW 329B on the KRW 8,610 close that Naver displays for Nov 10 (another aggregator's summary lists KRW 8,640). The 52-week range is KRW 7,780 to 49,450. Headcount is 142 in the annual report's site table (41 office, 54 research, 47 factory). Which NTIS record belongs to the Lotte project is an inference from lead organisation, program name, subject and demand-company language, not a source statement.
