Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Clobot is a South Korean robot service company that develops software and integration services enabling businesses to deploy service robots. Its two core products are CHAMELEON, a general-purpose autonomous navigation software built on a "generalized autonomous driving architecture" that can be applied across robot types and supports ROS, providing high-precision mapping, localization and motion planning that accounts for a robot's shape; and CROMS, a cloud-based robot management system for integrated monitoring and control of heterogeneous multi-robot fleets, covering route generation, traffic control, distributed control and task scheduling. The company describes CROMS as the only cloud-based system in Korea that manages and monitors multiple robots regardless of manufacturer or operating system.

Beyond software, Clobot positions itself as a robot integration (RI) company, stating it has carried out more than 80 robot projects. It plans service scenarios and content using its own development framework, CRDF (Clobot Robot Development Framework), performs ongoing operation and maintenance of deployed robots, and supplies commercial robot hardware. Its business lines cover public and everyday service robots (guidance, transport, disinfection, security/safety), logistics and manufacturing automation β€” including a "one-stop smart logistics center service" and manufacturing automation services β€” own-brand niche robots (sorting bot, inter-floor transport bot, Rollybot), and special-function modules such as gas-leak detection and intrusion detection. Clobot is also a reseller and solution distributor for the Spot quadruped robot, with payloads installed modularly by function.

Published customer deployments include the Pepper shopping-assistant robot at Lotte Department Store's main store, the AI guide robot "Beati" at Kia, the guide robot "Lota" at Lotte World Tower, a serving robot at an iSense League PC cafΓ©, an environmental monitoring robot for an industrial complex in Jeonju, an unmanned-equipment automation environment for Doosan Infracore, and a delivery robot in a smart-city security living lab.
