Spider-Like and Humanoid Robots Step Out of Labs into Real-World Workspaces

Korean startups showcase next-generation robots transforming shipyards and city streets.

South Korea is taking robotics to the next level; as cutting-edge machines developed by startups backed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) begin operating beyond the lab. These robots are blurring the lines between industrial tools and everyday mobility.

On September 30, KAIST highlighted the achievements of its affiliated startups, demonstrating how innovation is turning ambitious research into real-world applications. DIDEN Robotics introduced its “Seoungwol” robot, a spider-like machine capable of crawling on steel walls and ceilings, performing welding and construction tasks that were previously challenging or dangerous for humans.

Meanwhile, Eurobotics is advancing humanoid robot technology that can walk and navigate city streets with precision. The startup plans to showcase this breakthrough at the upcoming ‘Humanoids 2025’ conference on October 1, marking a significant step toward robots operating safely and effectively in public spaces.

These developments reflect a broader trend where robotics is no longer confined to controlled environments. By integrating mobility, AI, and specialized mechanical design, Korean startups are creating machines that can adapt to complex, real-world conditions—whether in industrial shipyards or urban landscapes.

As humanoid and spider-like robots enter everyday workspaces, they promise not only to boost productivity but also to redefine how humans and machines interact. The coming months could see these robots gradually becoming a familiar presence, signaling a new era in practical, intelligent robotics.
