[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Doosan Robotics announced on the 24th that it will enter the food tech market through its participation in the 'IFS Franchise Startup Expo.' The IFS Franchise Startup Expo, held for three days from today at COEX in Seoul, is the largest startup expo in Korea hosted by the Korea Franchise Industry Association, featuring brands in unmanned services, dining, distribution, and more.


Doosan Robotics will exhibit modular robot cafes (Dr. Presso), frying and noodle cooking robots (Cookbot Chef), and ice cream robots at a large booth measuring 30m wide by 11m deep. In particular, the Cookbot Chef series, developed in collaboration between Doosan Robotics and cooking robot manufacturer Robotech, will be showcased for the first time at this expo.


The frying Cookbot Chef can prepare all types of fried dishes including meat and vegetables, and can fry up to 24 chickens per hour. The noodle Cookbot Chef can prepare more than 20 types of noodle dishes including Korean, Chinese, and Western cuisines, with a cooking capacity of 60 bowls per hour.


To expand its cooking robot business, Doosan Robotics will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Robotech during the expo and also enter into an MOU with AJ Maintenance Partners to strengthen customer service. AJ Maintenance Partners is a company that builds an after-sales service (AS) network through a collaborative robot specialized call center, providing maintenance and management services.



Doosan Robotics will also sign an investment contract worth 2.4 billion KRW with Pleto Robotics. Ryu Jeong-hoon, CEO of Doosan Robotics, said, "As a result of expanding our business into various fields, we have become the first in Korea to exceed 1,000 units in annual collaborative robot sales," adding, "This year, we will continue to explore various businesses where collaborative robots can be applied."
