Read full description
The company's core technology revolves around a proprietary high-power, lightweight actuator, which is a key component in their wearable robots. This allows for the creation of devices that are both powerful and comfortable for the user. One of their flagship products is the 'H-Flex' series, specifically the H-Flex leg, a soft wearable robot designed to assist with walking and lower body muscle strength. This product is targeted at individuals needing walking assistance due to muscle strength decline, such as the elderly or those in post-surgery rehabilitation. Hurotics has secured significant funding to support its growth, including a pre-Series A investment and a KRW 2 billion seed investment from investors like Naver D2SF and Z Venture Capital.
Hurotics operates in the growing market of wearable robotics, targeting both the healthcare and sports industries. Its business model likely involves the direct sale of its robotic devices to individuals, rehabilitation centers, and sports organizations. The company has gained recognition through various awards, including the CES 2024 Innovation Award, and by being selected for programs like the 'be global BIG B.A.N.G' and the Chung Mong-Koo Foundation's 'H-OnDream Startup' program, which supports promising startups.
