From May 19 to 23, Atlanta is hosting the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2025), the industry’s most influential event. In this context, the South Korean company Rainbow Robotics has attracted global attention with the presentation of its most advanced humanoid solutions. These include the RB-Y1, a robot designed for research environments with a specific focus on artificial intelligence developers. artificial intelligence.
Real-time interactivity and modular versatility
The RB-Y1, in addition to impressing with its humanoid appearance, also impresses with the integration of control interfaces, including master arm including master arm, touch screens, joystickstouch screens, touch screens, joysticks and virtual reality devices. These options, combined with an open source architecture and customizable modules, make it a key tool for universities and companies. Since its debut in 2024, it has been adopted by institutions such as MIT, UC Berkeley and Georgia Tech.
Among the main innovations presented by Rainbow is the Mecanum wheel system, which allows omnidirectional movements with high precision. This improvement translates into superior maneuverability in limited spaces, which is key for industrial and academic applications.
Additionally, the RB-Y1’s integrated software development kit (SDK) was presented, which includes support for sensors such as IMU, grippers and LiDAR. This facilitates the adaptation of the robot to specific tasks, strengthening its use as a testing platform for AI solutions.
Technological consolidation and global projection
Jungwoo Heo, chief technology officer of Rainbow Robotics, emphasized that the RB-Y1 aims to be the meeting point between advanced robotics and artificial intelligence development. “This is your humanoid, make it perfect for your AI solution” is more than a slogan: it is a direct invitation to the research community.
The company also continues its expansion strategy in the United States through its headquarters in Chicago, offering technical support and collaborations with local developers. In addition, its audiovisual content has surpassed 2.4 million views on YouTube, reinforcing its position as a leader in humanoid robotic innovation.
With a prominent participation in Hall A No. 811 at the Georgia World Congress Center, the robot company confirms its commitment to the global advancement of humanoid systems.
