Sonide announced on the 2nd that its subsidiary Defense Korea has decided to strengthen its partnership with Łukasiewicz PIAP (L-PIAP), a robot developer under the Polish state research institute, to expand its robot business.


Defense Korea is focusing on establishing a distribution network for Łukasiewicz PIAP's explosive detection robots as well as other products developed by PIAP. They are negotiating supply agreements with military attach?s and company officials from various countries including Saudi Arabia, Japan, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan, targeting not only the domestic market but also the Asian region.


In particular, Defense Korea plans to conduct various verification tests by equipping Łukasiewicz PIAP robots with 99% domestically produced recoilless explosive disposal equipment and non-contact explosive detection equipment applying Sonide AI's nano-optical sensor technology, and is currently discussing future set-based deliveries.


Additionally, Defense Korea has been responsible for the domestic distribution and operational maintenance of PIAP's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) robots for the past three years. Since the EOD robots have already been supplied to the Ministry of National Defense and the Police Special Forces and are used in various military training and counter-terrorism operations, the company expects the domestic supply scale to expand in the future. Accordingly, technical support work with PIAP is also being strengthened.



A company representative stated, “Through continuous collaboration with PIAP, we are focusing on building networks not only in Korea but also across the Asian region, and joint R&D projects such as the development of special batteries for robots are steadily being discussed. With the establishment of a domestic production base underway, we expect to enhance competitiveness in both domestic and international markets.”
