Hanwha Robotics (CEO Jong Hwi Seo) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with B-Robotics (CEO Min Soo Kim), a subsidiary of Woowa Brothers, on the 2nd for the development of "Food service automation solutions."

This partnership aims to combine each company’s flagship products to drive the development of food service automation restaurants. Moving forward, Hanwha Robotics' collaborative robots and B-Robotics' serving robots will work as complements to expand their market reach. Key elements of the agreement include sharing sales information, creating integrated robot solutions, and providing mutual support for field tests.

Since commercializing the first collaborative robot in Korea in 2017, Hanwha Robotics has introduced a wide range of food tech technologies, including wine-breathing robots and barista robots. By collaborating with B-Robotics, which has supplied over 3,100 serving robots domestically, the partnership enables full automation of both kitchen and dining areas. This agreement marks the beginning of Hanwha Robotics' focus on targeting the food service industry.

Jong Hwi Seo, CEO of Hanwha Robotics, mentioned, "This partnership was formed based on the shared vision of both companies to create a world where people work with convenience. Leveraging the competency of Hanwha Robotics and B-Robotics, we aim to achieve both quantitative and qualitative growth in food tech services."
