OrionStar Reaches 4,000 Cumulative Robot Shipments in Korea... Expanding Adoption to Science Museums and Schools

- 4,000 Units Supplied in Korea within Four Years of Market Entry in 2022
- Product Line Expanded to Serving, Guidance, Cleaning, and Logistics Robots... Adoption in Public, Education, and Healthcare Institutions

AI robotics company OrionStar announced that it has supplied a cumulative total of 4,000 robots in Korea. This milestone comes about four years after its entry into the Korean market in 2022 through Woowa Brothers, the operator of Baemin.

Initially, robot supply focused on serving robots for the foodservice sector, but in recent times, the product lineup has expanded to include guidance, cleaning, and logistics robots. As a result, adoption has extended to science museums, schools, hospitals, and other venues.

OrionStar Korea is the Korean subsidiary of OrionStar, an AI robotics company established in 2016. OrionStar robots have been distributed in Korea through Woowa Brothers since 2022. To further support Korean customers and expand its business, OrionStar established its Korean subsidiary in September 2025.

Since establishing the Korean subsidiary, OrionStar Korea has been laying the foundation for Korean customer service and business expansion. With an increasing variety of products being operated and diverse real-life deployments in Korea, the company is also tailoring its business approach based on site-specific operational environments.

The current lineup supplied in Korea includes four models of the serving robot "LuckiBot" series, the guidance robots "GreetingBot Mini" and "Nova," the cleaning robots "Cleanibot C5" and "S55 Pro," and the logistics robot "CarryBot." Including the LuckiBot AI series, which offers voice command and conversational features, the lineup is structured so customers can select devices according to their use case and operating environment.

There are also use cases for guidance robots in the public and education sectors. The National Uljin Marine Science Museum utilizes the "GreetingBot Nova" for guiding educational programs and facilitating interactive conversations related to marine science. The National Institute of Biological Resources operates the "GreetingBot Mini" as a docent for exhibition guidance, and Hanil Hospital uses it for health screening guidance.

At Gwangju Eunhye School, the same model is used to provide campus facility guidance as well as class timetables and meal information. The application scope of service robots, once centered on foodservice venues, is expanding to public facilities, educational, and medical environments.

There are also examples of multiple robots or various robot types being operated simultaneously at one location. At the Seomyeon Central branch of Lee Jaemo Pizza in Busan, ten "LuckiBot Pro" serving robots are deployed, five each on the first and second floors. At the Myeongji Daebang branch, seven serving robots and cleaning robots are operated together.

OrionStar Korea explained that, beyond supplying robots, it is also engaging in technology and sales partnerships with domestic robot-related companies, and supporting software customization and operational design tailored to the deployment site. The company added that there is a growing trend of external developers enhancing OrionStar robots with additional features for clients' specific needs.

Minsoo Kim, CEO of OrionStar Korea, stated, "It is important not only to have high-performance robots, but also to ensure they are properly adapted and operated on site," adding, "We are strengthening operational optimization and technical support to respond to a variety of field situations."

He further commented, "The application is expanding not only to serving robots but also guidance robots and beyond," noting, "We are also building a development environment that allows each client to add the necessary features through collaboration with external development companies."

OrionStar Korea plans to continue expanding technology and sales collaboration with domestic robot companies based on its lineup of serving, guidance, cleaning, and logistics service robots, while increasing deployment examples across various industrial and public sectors.
