'Multi-Robot Orchestration' Biscat Secures Seed Funding from Bluepoint Partners

Development of Integrated Autonomous Operation Platform 'STAR-Core' and 'STAR-Grapher'

"Moving Beyond Reliance on Engineers' Experience"

Robot operation intelligence startup Biscat announced on March 4, 2026, that it has secured seed funding from deep tech accelerator Bluepoint Partners. The specific amount and company valuation for this investment remain undisclosed.


Biscat is developing an autonomous operation platform that integrates robots and equipment from different manufacturers into a single system for manufacturing and logistics sites. Currently, most manufacturing and logistics environments are filled with dozens or even hundreds of robots from various manufacturers, each with different specifications. There is virtually no software available to manage these systems in an integrated manner, resulting in a recurring structural inefficiency where engineers must rewrite code from scratch whenever a single process changes.


'Multi-Robot Orchestration' Biscat Secures Seed Funding from Bluepoint Partners Biscat, a robot operational intelligence startup team.

To address this issue, Biscat is building an autonomous operation system that can independently understand and make decisions about the entire production process, based on two core technologies: 'STAR-Core' and 'STAR-Grapher'.


STAR-Core is a universal motion planning and driving engine that can be applied to all mobile robots, regardless of their drive mechanisms or types of motors. Traditionally, if robot hardware changed, new driving software needed to be developed. However, with STAR-Core, adaptation can be achieved within just one to two weeks.


STAR-Grapher is an orchestration engine based on a knowledge structure (ontology) that semantically links equipment, robots, and process constraints. The system can independently make decisions and re-plan everything from task assignments to responses to unexpected situations. Its strength lies in its ability to reconfigure optimal routes and tasks in real time, even if processes change or a robot malfunctions.


Recognized for its technological prowess, Biscat has secured several large enterprises as its initial clients. The company has also established collaborative partnerships with various robot manufacturers, including TIRARobotics and CA Systems. The founding team is led by CEO Ko Dongwook, a robot intelligence expert and former CEO of Cogarobotics, and consists of members with over ten years of hands-on experience in business development, hardware, and artificial intelligence (AI).


Lee Sungho, Senior Investment Manager at Bluepoint Partners, stated, "There is still no complete player in the global market for integrated operation of heterogeneous robots. Given the alignment of market timing, technology direction, and team capability, Biscat is a team with strong potential."


Ko Dongwook, CEO of Biscat, commented, "While the level of factory automation is increasing, the intelligence required to integrate and operate different robots and equipment as a single system still relies heavily on engineers' experience. Through this investment, we will establish an autonomous operation system that can make independent decisions in any environment and successfully bring it to market."
