AIDIN Robotics Inc.
South Korean robotics sensor startup founded 2019; makes world's smallest 6-axis force/torque sensors and smart grippers for humanoid and industrial robots.
AIDIN Robotics Inc. is a South Korean robotics component company founded in 2019, originating from the Robot Innovatory Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University. The company is headquartered in Anyang, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (address: 12-20, Simin-daero 327beon-gil, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do). As of 2025, AIDIN Robotics has approximately 28 employees and has raised a total of $18.66 million from investors including Samsung C.Lab, CJ Logistics, Samsung NEXT, GS Ventures, POSCO Capital, and others.
AIDIN Robotics specializes in high-precision robotic sensing technology. Its core products include miniature 6-axis force/torque (F/T) sensors, smart grippers, multi-degree-of-freedom robotic hands, and robot motion controllers. The company is recognized for developing what it claims to be the world's smallest subminiature 6-axis F/T sensor at 10 mm diameter, with all signal processing circuitry integrated on-board.
The miniature AFT series sensors (AFT20 and AFT50) measure all six components of force and moment (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz). The AFT20 has a 20N force range and 0.1 Nm torque range; the AFT50 has a 50N force range and 0.25 Nm torque range. Both measure 15 mm diameter × 10.5 mm height, weigh 3.2 g, and operate at 100 Hz sampling rate with CAN digital output via an 8-pin FPC connector. The hollow internal structure allows cable routing through rotational joints, making them suitable for robotic wrists, arms, and humanoid fingers.
The SUSGrip Smart Gripper uses parallel motion driven by a high-speed BLDC motor and supports multiple smart functions including force control, object detection, and adaptive grasping for logistics pick-and-place. The company's second-generation robotic hand implements 16 degrees of freedom with a proprietary tactile sensor (ATT) distributed across the finger surfaces. First-generation models were exported to Amazon Robotics facilities in the US and Australia; the second-generation model was slated for official commercial launch in the first half of 2026.
AIDIN Robotics exhibited at CES 2026 as part of the Humanoid M.AX Alliance Pavilion and is an EtherCAT Technology Group member, indicating compliance with real-time industrial Ethernet communication standards.
