About Raion Robotics

Raion Robotics is a high-tier Deep Tech startup and a strategic spin-off from the KAIST Robotics and AI Lab. Founded by Dr. Jemin Hwangbo, a global authority in robotic locomotion, the company specializes in the design and manufacturing of advanced quadruped robots. Their flagship platform, Raibo, utilizes cutting-edge Reinforcement Learning to navigate extreme terrains—such as sand, snow, and steep slopes—with unprecedented stability and autonomy. A key technological breakthrough of Raion Robotics is the internal development of core components, allowing Raibo to achieve an operational endurance of up to 8 hours, vastly outperforming the industry standard. This endurance, combined with its all-terrain capabilities, makes Raibo an essential tool for NIF Freedom of Operations and Mobility, particularly in hazardous environments, disaster relief, and long-range defense patrols. Backed by significant Series A funding from investors like SBVA and Company K Partners, Raion Robotics is scaling its mass production to lead the global market in unmanned automation and resilient robotic systems.
