Dynamic Solution is joining forces with Vibatrobotics, a KAIST startup, to strengthen its technological competitiveness in the fields of robotic hands and robotic arms.

On June 19, Dynamic Solution announced that it had signed a strategic technology agreement (MOU) with Vibatrobotics to secure robotic hand technology and jointly commercialize the robotic arm project within the K-Moonshot BCI initiative.

Vibatrobotics is a campus startup founded by KAIST professors and PhD-level researchers, with its core competitiveness centered on its Dexterous Hand technology, which enables precise control of fingers and joints similar to a human hand.

Traditional robotic hand technology has primarily relied on visual and tactile information in the process of implementing grasping technology. In contrast, Vibatrobotics has secured differentiated performance by combining proximity sensor-based intelligence technology.

Proximity sensor intelligence technology allows for precise recognition of object size and position while being relatively less affected by changes in the surrounding environment or lighting conditions. This enables robotic hands to stably identify objects and perform optimal grasping actions in a variety of environments.

Vibatrobotics' robotic hand can determine the optimal grasping posture for an object within 25 milliseconds (ms). This reduces posture determination time by approximately 75–90% compared to existing global robotic hand technologies. In addition, it has achieved a high grasp success rate of 95% when handling unstructured objects commonly encountered in daily life, earning recognition for its technological prowess in the humanoid robotic hand sector.

The company has also expanded its technological competitiveness by establishing its own sensing modality system. This technology was published in the international journal 'IEEE Transactions on Mechatronics' in 2023 as a research paper, and has been registered for patents in both Korea and the United States.

Under this agreement, the two companies will divide roles to pursue technology development and commercialization. Vibatrobotics will be responsible for research and development related to robotic hands, while Dynamic Solution will utilize its proprietary tendon-driven technology, the X-Hand tactile-based robotic hand technology transferred from the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), as well as relevant patents and clinical data.

Dynamic Solution will also take charge of the entire commercialization process, including productization, technology certification, marketing, and sales, with plans to drive the actual commercialization of robotic hand technology.

Alongside this, Dynamic Solution is also working to establish a robot business consortium in the form of 'R&D-mass production-sales and field application,' bringing together specialized capabilities across different segments of the robotics sector.

In the field of technology development, Dynamic Solution is collaborating with Vibatrobotics, and for mass production, technology application, and joint sales, the company is currently discussing possible partnerships with physical AI-based robot manufacturers such as Rainbow Robotics and Neuromeka.

Myunghoon Baek, CEO of Dynamic Solution, stated, "By securing KAIST's core technologies related to robotic hands and arms, we are able to significantly enhance our own capabilities in this area. Following this agreement, we will sequentially move forward with robot development, the selection of mass production partners, equity investment, and the formation of the K-Moonshot consortium, thereby advancing our existing medical and rehabilitation robot business and concretizing our new industrial robotic hand business."

Based on this technological collaboration, Dynamic Solution plans to strengthen its core competitiveness in robotic hand technology and to expand its business foundation beyond the medical and rehabilitation sectors, aiming to enter the industrial humanoid robot market.
