Based on the core technologies related to robotics, clinical expertise, and sales experience possessed by both companies, they will collaborate on the development of U-Bot, an obstetrics and gynecology surgical assist robot currently being developed by EasyMedibot. In the future, they plan to expand their cooperation to include brain nerve and cardiovascular medical robots developed by EasyMedibot.


An EasyMedibot official stated, “Doosan Robotics not only possesses excellent technological capabilities but also offers higher price competitiveness compared to overseas companies, enabling rapid product development, collaboration, and after-sales service (AS) tailored to market conditions.” He added, “This will also secure competitiveness in parts supply and service provision when entering overseas markets.”
