Collaborating Different Types of Robots Seamlessly with a Single Solution 'Cheokcheok'

Marosol Holds Media Demonstration at '2024 SFAW'
Cost Reduction Achieved Through Solink Implementation

In industrial sites adopting robots, there are times when robots do not operate as expected. Even if robots are purchased, they cannot perform their functions properly without a customization process tailored to each site. Additional customization is also required when introducing more robots. The time and cost involved inevitably increase depending on the number of units introduced. Marosol is a robot solution startup that aims to solve this problem. Kim Min-kyo, CEO and a former Doosan Robotics employee who founded the company in 2020, has released 'Solink' as the result of his dedicated efforts.

On the 28th, CEO Kim said, "Solink is a top-level multi-robot integrated control system developed to operate robots more conveniently and efficiently." He explained that it is possible to manage and control various types of robots at once, saving costs on additional infrastructure integration and control system development when introducing robots. The costs of robot operation and maintenance can also be significantly reduced. CEO Kim stated, "The investment recovery period for robot introduction, which usually takes five years, can be shortened to within one year for robots applying Solink."

Kim Min-kyo, CEO of Marosol, is explaining Solink at the 2024 SFAW held at COEX.

Marosol described the development direction of Solink as 'Software Defined Robotics (SDR).' The reason is that it expands the robot ecosystem through the connection between infrastructure and robots, enabling convenient completion of work scenarios in any space.

On this day, Marosol unveiled the technology and vision of Solink at the 2024 Smart Factory & Automation Industry Exhibition (2024 SFAW) held at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. CEO Kim explained the vision of Solink at the event, followed by CTO Song Jun-bong, who easily instructed cleaning robots, logistics robots, and serving robots equipped with Solink.

In the demonstration, workplace infrastructure such as elevators and automatic doors, as well as robots installed with Solink, were interconnected to enhance work efficiency. When a robot placed work items, a logistics robot collected them and moved by taking the elevator. After finishing cleaning one floor, the cleaning robot naturally moved to another floor. The process of issuing commands to robots was also simple. Frequently used commands operated by drag-and-drop, and it was possible to input multiple commands into one robot for continuous work or to issue work instructions simultaneously to multiple robots. Marosol explained that this can greatly reduce the cost and time of robot control and operation.

CEO Kim said, "Solink will continue to develop as an augmented robot experience system to maximize the convenience and efficiency that can be enjoyed with robots."
