ROBOTIS

Advanced

A South Korean robotics company behind DYNAMIXEL servos and the TurtleBot3, a staple in research and education.

ROBOTIS was founded in March 1999 by Byung-soo Kim, is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, and listed on KOSDAQ in October 2018. Its best-known product is the DYNAMIXEL smart servo: a motor, gearbox, driver, and encoder integrated into a single module, with multiple units daisy-chained on one bus and controlled together, which is why low-cost arms and teleoperation leader arms such as Koch, GELLO, and WidowX all use it. The company also co-developed the TurtleBot3 teaching platform with Open Robotics, and makes the OpenMANIPULATOR robot arm, the GAEMI delivery robot, and the AI Worker humanoid, among other products. According to the Korean-language Wikipedia, the company spun off its autonomous-delivery-robot business in June 2025 and announced a capital increase of about 100 billion won that August.

ExampleThe Koch v1.1 arm featured in LeRobot's early tutorials is built out of Dynamixel XL430 and XL330 servos.
