    Clobot (CEO Chang-gu Kim) participated in the “2024 Future Innovation tech eXpo (FIX 2024)” held from October 23 to October 26 at Daegu EXCO. Since its founding in 2017, Clobot has been recognized for its expertise in developing indoor autonomous robots, focusing on robotic software and services. Leveraging partnerships with global robotics brands, Clobot provides integrated hardware and software solutions across various industries.

    At FIX 2024, Clobot featured the high-performance quadruped robot ‘Spot’ from Boston Dynamics, which the company imports and sells in Korea. Spot is known for its agility and stability on diverse terrains, including flat ground, rough paths, and stairs. It can climb up to 30° slopes, avoid obstacles, and plan routes, performing complex tasks in challenging environments with safety and precision.

    Spot’s modular design allows it to carry sensors, cameras, and other mission-specific equipment, supporting up to 14 kg of payload for transport tasks. It also supports remote control and pre-programmed autonomous operations, making it ideal for replacing human workers in hazardous environments. A cloud-based management system can monitor and control the robot in real-time.
