On May 12, independent research firm Aris analyzed that attention should be paid to T-Robotics' expansion of collaborations with global robotics companies and the potential for growth in its physical artificial intelligence (AI)-based smart factory business.

Jaemo Lee, a researcher at Aris, evaluated, "T-Robotics is expanding its competitiveness in the smart factory and logistics transport robot markets by strengthening strategic collaborations with companies such as Japan's FANUC, THK, and Rainbow Robotics." He predicted that the company would be able to secure mid- to long-term supply capabilities across various industries, including semiconductors, automobiles, and logistics.

In particular, he explained that T-Robotics is integrating FANUC collaborative robots into its autonomous mobile robot (AMR) platform and jointly developing smart factory solutions based on physical AI and digital twin technology. In addition, the company is developing autonomous robots for application in semiconductor manufacturing and inspection processes in cooperation with THK, ultimately aiming for full automation of semiconductor inspection processes.

T-Robotics is a robotics specialist company that develops and manufactures vacuum robots and vacuum transfer modules for semiconductors and displays, as well as AMRs. The company was the first in Korea to successfully develop vacuum robots for OLEDs and has already secured records of delivering 600 AMRs for smart factories in the North American secondary battery sector.

The company is also expanding its new robotics business. It is currently working on the development of the industrial humanoid robot 'TR-WORKS' and a transport robot dedicated to glass substrates. The glass substrate transport robot, based on the company’s existing vacuum robot technology for OLED processes, has been further optimized for glass substrate manufacturing, achieving miniaturization and high precision.

Lee also emphasized that T-Robotics is participating in 'KAIROS,' a KRW 1 trillion-scale demonstration project for a physical AI-based dark factory integrated operation platform led by KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology).

T-Robotics is in charge of physical AI development and mass production of systems in this project, and it is expected to secure a national-level demonstration reference as a result. He assessed that this could serve as a crucial reference in future expansions of smart factory businesses for large corporations and in overseas market entry.

Furthermore, as the application of glass substrates is expected to expand in the AI semiconductor packaging process, the analysis suggests that T-Robotics' ultra-clean and high-precision transport technology will serve as a differentiated competitive edge. He noted that the company's technology for blocking fine particle contamination inside chambers is difficult to replicate; development has already been completed, and only customer testing remains. Depending on whether it is ultimately adopted, it is highly likely to lead to mass production line orders.
