Rainbow Robotics

Rainbow Robotics is a Sejong company that develops collaborative, mobile, quadruped and dual-arm robots, along with the core components it uses in them. It traces its roots to the HUBO humanoid robot developed at KAIST, starting in 2011. The company says it makes its core parts in house and offers its software free of charge.

Robot lineup

• RBC, RBY, RBQ and RBM series: Four named series that cover the company's collaborative, dual-arm, mobile and quadruped robots.
• RB collaborative robots: The RB5-850N and RB20-1900 are named, along with RB series units for CNC machine tending.
• RB-N series: Robots specialised for food and beverage work, including chicken cooking.
• Mobile robots: Mobile dual-arm platforms that the site says can be deployed without specialist staff.

Industrial applications

Customer examples on the site include an automotive parts maker using cobots for plastic injection part inspection and separation, a corporate cafeteria that automates frying with the RB5-850N, a logistics firm palletizing with the RB20-1900, and a shipbuilder using cobots for automated arc welding. Installation, operation and after-sales support are provided by a technical support team and by professional partners.

Platform and support

Rainbow Robotics says its robots are easy to deploy and scale, with one integrated system to manage them. A modular structure can be replaced part by part. The company states its initial cost is low, and that operating costs fall as usage rises. At one auto parts maker using cobots, the site reports 100% inspection accuracy and a 130% rise in productivity.
