Humanoid Robots from Around the World Gather at EXCO for 'Daegu International Robot Industry Exhibition'

Arobot Unveils 'Alice M1' for the First Time
"Identifying the Latest Trends in Robot Technology"

The '2025 Daegu International Robot Industry Exhibition (ROBEX 2025)', a specialized exhibition where visitors can experience cutting-edge robot technology and the latest trends in one place, will be held at EXCO for four days from October 22 to October 25, 2025.

This year's exhibition, following last year's event, will be held in conjunction with the '2025 Future Innovation Technology Expo (FIX 2025)', showcasing global advanced industry convergence trends.

Marking its 14th edition, the Daegu International Robot Industry Exhibition is themed 'The Beginning of the AI Robot Era'. The event will feature exhibitions of advanced industrial and service robots, a business forum, hands-on events, and a variety of other programs, with participation from 65 robot companies. Notably, both domestic and international humanoid robots will gather at the event, and experience-based content will be enhanced through care robots and F&B (food and beverage) robots. Core future manufacturing technologies will also be introduced.

Leading Korean humanoid robot company Arobot will participate for the first time this year, unveiling its wheelbase-based mobile humanoid 'Alice M1' for the first time globally at the exhibition, following its public announcement last month. Through this, the company will demonstrate the potential for application across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and services.

The 'Alice 4', which will also be on display, will engage visitors in a dice game, offering both entertainment and interactive experiences. This robot, equipped with a self-developed linear actuator, enables precise force control and bipedal walking, and is capable of complex human-robot interactions using physical AI.

The Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement, a national robot policy agency under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, will promote government-level robot policies such as the National Robot Test Field Project and the Robot Flagship Regional Base Project, while also presenting a variety of robot demonstration environments.

In particular, this exhibition will feature a large number of companies leading the K-humanoid robot sector. 'NR-DURY' by Neuromeka and Robotable will perform a popcorn-serving show, while 'MCR-1A' by Circulus, Mand.ro, and Roboworks will showcase magic performances, highlighting the technological prowess of Korean humanoid robots.

Robocare, a leading company in the care robot sector, will exhibit its AI care robot 'Kemi Friends'. This robot can move autonomously, provide reminders for waking up, meals, and medication, offer conversation, and in emergencies, detect falls and connect with emergency services, thereby supporting the daily lives of the elderly.

Bear Robotics, a commercial robot subsidiary of LG Electronics, will present its autonomous logistics robots 'Cart 100' (for light loads) and 'Cart 600' (for heavy loads and low platforms). Korea Epson, the global leader in the SCARA robot market, will display its entire lineup of major SCARA robots.

Youngin Mobility, in collaboration with China's Unitree Robotics, will host Korea's first-ever boxing match between humanoid robots 'G1'. The two robots will don headgear and boxing gloves, step into the ring, and exchange punches and footwork, offering an exciting match that demonstrates the future potential of robot sports.

This exhibition is expected to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and future direction of advanced robot technologies, including humanoid robots, industrial robots, and autonomous service robots.

Choi Woonbaek, Director of the Future Innovation Growth Office of Daegu City, stated, "Daegu is building the nation's only National Robot Test Field and, with the designation of the first-ever 'AI Robot Global Innovation Zone' in the robot sector, is emerging as the capital of AI robots. We hope this exhibition will serve as a platform for identifying the latest trends in the robot industry and sharing advanced technological information to create new business opportunities."
