Yujin Robot :: Industrial Automation Equipment, Educational Robots & Consumer Cleaning Robots

Yujin Robot is a pioneering South Korean robotics company with over 35 years of experience in automation and intelligent systems. Founded in 1988 as one of Korea’s first-generation robot enterprises, Yujin Robot has evolved from developing industrial automation equipment, educational robots, and consumer cleaning robots (notably its popular iClebo vacuum line) into a major provider of advanced Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and smart factory solutions. In 2021, the company established its AMS (Autonomous Mobile Systems) business unit to focus on B2B logistics automation, shifting emphasis toward Industry 4.0 applications while maintaining its legacy in factory automation equipment through the SAS (Smart Automation Systems) division. Headquartered in Incheon’s Songdo district, Yujin Robot combines deep manufacturing expertise with cutting-edge navigation, fleet management, and integration technologies to deliver total smart factory solutions. The company has received numerous awards, including multiple “Export Tower” honors, CES participations, the ChaPeK Award, and recognition as a leading professional service robot company in Korea. It maintains global partnerships, including a strategic investment from German appliance leader Miele, and has expanded internationally with a Munich branch office established in 2023.

Yujin Robot’s robot-based products center on its GoCart series of flexible, laser- and vision-guided AMRs designed for material transport in demanding industrial, warehouse, and healthcare environments. These AMRs feature robust SLAM navigation, obstacle avoidance, real-time fleet management via a Robot Control System (FMS), and seamless integration with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Digital Picking Systems, and existing factory equipment. The lineup includes the compact GoCart 180 (180 kg payload, ideal for healthcare facilities and tight spaces), the versatile GoCart 250 (250 kg), the mid-range GoCart 500, and high-capacity models GoCart 1000 and GoCart 1500 capable of handling heavy pallets in manufacturing and logistics. For constrained areas requiring precise maneuvering, the company offers omnidirectional models — GoCart 200 Omni and GoCart 300 Omni — equipped with omni-wheels that enable sideways, diagonal, and zero-radius turning for superior agility in hospitals and narrow factory aisles.

Beyond standard models, Yujin Robot provides fully Custom AMR solutions, allowing clients to select payload (up to several tons), chassis height (including low-profile versions for trolley transport), wheel configurations, top modules (lift, conveyor, or custom fixtures), and sensors. These tailored robots support applications ranging from heavy warehouse transport to specialized manufacturing line integration. Complementing the AMR portfolio is an extensive Factory Assembly Automation Equipment business that designs and deploys robotic cells for processes such as dispensing, gluing, welding, screwing, pressing, vision inspection, leakage testing, and PCB assembly. These systems emphasize real-time monitoring, traceability, and network integration for complete production line automation.

Yujin Robot delivers end-to-end solutions across five key domains: factory logistics automation, warehouse automation (including digital picking and order fulfillment), healthcare logistics (medication, meal service, linen, and patient support transport), equipment automation for manufacturing lines, and Robotization packages that retrofit existing AGVs or manual carts into modern AMRs. Real-world deployments demonstrate clear value: a Korean cutting-tool manufacturer improved efficiency and reduced worker fatigue; a Slovenian hospital successfully integrated GoCart 250 for daily operations; Miele enhanced warehouse productivity; and a plastic goods producer achieved approximately 20% production gains while operating 24/7. Hospitals benefit from reduced infection risk, contactless delivery of food and medicine, and more time for clinical staff. Warehouses see faster order picking, lower labor dependency, and safer material handling.

The company’s strength lies in its holistic approach — supplying both the physical robots and the supporting software ecosystem, including fleet orchestration, path planning, and data analytics that optimize traffic and collaboration between humans and machines. Yujin Robot positions its AMRs as flexible, scalable alternatives to fixed conveyor systems, delivering higher adaptability in dynamic Industry 4.0 settings. With a strong legacy in robotics R&D, proven commercial success in both consumer and industrial sectors, and ongoing innovation in high-payload and omnidirectional platforms, Yujin Robot continues to help manufacturers, logistics operators, and healthcare providers address labor shortages, improve safety, boost productivity, and build resilient smart factories for the future.
