Kalman
Korean RaaS startup founded 2020 deploying quadrupedal inspection robots in nuclear power plants and energy facilities using legged robotics and digital twins.
Kalman (also stylized as KALMAN) is a South Korean robotics company founded in 2020 by CEO Jun-Ho Kim, headquartered in Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea. The company develops end-to-end robotic solutions for automating industrial inspections in hazardous environments, operating primarily under a Robot as a Service (RaaS) subscription model.
Kalman's core technology includes four-legged (quadrupedal) self-walking robots, robotic arms, AI software integration, and digital twin platforms designed to operate autonomously in extreme conditions including radiation zones, underwater environments, and confined spaces. The company's primary market is the energy sector, specifically nuclear power plants, thermal power plants, and hydro power plants, where human technicians face dangerous exposure risks during regular inspection and maintenance tasks.
A notable deployment is in the decommissioning of the Gori Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 in South Korea, where Kalman's robots perform autonomous patrol and inspection tasks. The company also provides security and construction monitoring applications: patrol robots for military bases and industrial facilities (positioned as a dynamic alternative to static cameras), and construction site safety monitoring and quality management robots.
Kalman has raised total funding of approximately $700,000 USD over two rounds, including a Seed round closed April 11, 2024. As of early 2026 the company had approximately 10 employees. The company collaborates with affiliated research institutes and robotics engineering universities in Korea on R&D.
Address: 407, 25-32, LS-ro 116 beon-gil, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea. Business contact: [email protected].
