About Rainbow Robotics

Rainbow Robotics is a South Korean robot manufacturer founded in 2011 by researchers from the KAIST humanoid-robot laboratory, the team behind the HUBO humanoid programme. The company began with research platforms — the HUBO2 and DRC-HUBO humanoids remain part of its catalogue alongside astronomical telescope mounts derived from its precision-drive work — and has since built its commercial business on the RB series of collaborative robots. The range spans small to heavy-payload arms, includes the NSF-certified RB-N food-grade line for kitchens and food processing, the RB-Y1 dual-arm mobile manipulator and the RBQ quadruped, giving the company one of the broader product spans among Asian cobot makers.

Rainbow Robotics listed on KOSDAQ in February 2021. In December 2024 Samsung Electronics exercised a call option to raise its stake to 35 per cent, becoming the largest shareholder, and Rainbow Robotics has been consolidated as a Samsung subsidiary since March 2025, a tie-up widely read as Samsung’s entry point into humanoid robotics. The company’s registered headquarters moved in March 2026 from Daejeon, its founding home, to a new campus in Sejong Tech Valley. It operates a United States subsidiary in Illinois and sells worldwide through distributors. Public filing data puts its full-time workforce at about 160 people.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	9 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	6 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
