It has calling function and when it goes out of battery, it can automatically charge itself by moving to the charging station.

IPL has big expectations in the Chinese market. For this, it has established the marketing channel in China in partnership with 'Roobo', a robot start-up in China. In the future, it plans to enter B2C market and actively engage in B2B market strategy in partnership with mobile service providers, household appliance manufacturers and solutions developers. IPL is planning on exporting robots to China, Singapore and Thailand.

IPL is a robot start-up established in March 2014 by former employees of KT. Currently, around 40 developers are preparing for launching global service. Since establishment, it has won '2016 Reddot Design Award Best winner of the industrial', overseas series A investment (USD 220 million), 'First Penguin Excellent Company' and '2015 Next Startup Award'.

Fine Robotics - i'sense

▲ Fine Robotics: Fine Robotics has developed 'i'sense', a wet mop cleaning robot, and is planning to supply domestically and internationally.

i'sense is a practical cleaning robot that rotates the main body, water tank and mop to move and clean at the same time. It rotates at a fast rate and automatically supplies water from the built-in water tank to prevent the mop from drying out until cleaning is over.

With a built-in distance sensor, it can detect the distance from an obstacle for reinforced safety by preventing crash while cleaning. The compact size allows cleaning even the narrow spaces such as under the bed or chair, and eco-friendly lithium iron phosphate battery without toxic substances such as heavy metals features consumer safety and efficiency.

For optimum wet mopping effect, polyester multi-filament yarn mop pad for excellent dust collection ability and microfiber mop pad for excellent wet wiping performance are provided. The mop pads have been specially designed in greater diameter than the holder for effective cleaning of corners and walls.

Fine Robotics is planning to establish the test bed through market-oriented robot distribution business and engage in overseas market strategy after gaining certifications in Europe and North America.

In domestic market, it plans to promote supply through home shopping channels and secure distribution channels in Electro Land and Homeplus. Fine Robotics is a robot start-up composed of experts in robots and household appliances with experience longer than 10 years.
