Going forward, Executive Director Seong will oversee the corporate research institute at Everybot Mobility, a subsidiary of Everybot.

With the recruitment of this expert, Everybot Mobility is expected to achieve rapid growth in its business performance through enhanced R&D capabilities, strengthened cost and quality competitiveness, and maximized supply chain efficiency.

With the appointment of Executive Director Seong, a total of four former Samsung Electronics R&D personnel, including those at subsidiary Everybot Mobility, are now serving as executives at Everybot, further reinforcing its research and development capabilities.

President Kim Youngtae, who joined Everybot in 2022, and Director Kim Kyungsoo, who joined Everybot in 2024 and is leading the software development team, are also from Samsung Electronics. In 2025, Executive Director Cho Woojong, who holds a Ph.D. from KAIST and worked at Samsung Electronics for 30 years, was recruited as head of the Everybot R&D Center.

Everybot is actively recruiting outstanding core research personnel who are robotics experts by prioritizing R&D talent. As the R&D capabilities of Everybot and its subsidiaries continue to be upgraded, there are growing expectations for the new AI service robot products that will be introduced in the future.
