Korean AI startup founded 2023; Industrial Large Spatial Models for 3D perception in shipyards and heavy manufacturing.
LiOps is a South Korean AI robotics startup founded in 2023 by HeeJoon Park and SeungYeob Seon, focusing on Industrial Large Spatial Models (LSMs) that enable 3D spatial intelligence for autonomous robots. The company develops unsupervised foundation models with resilient representations that handle sensor diversity, domain shifts, and novel datasets, connecting 3D spatial understanding directly to robot control stacks. LiOps technology has been selected by major Korean automotive manufacturers, shipyards, and heavy industry companies, with claimed investment recovery within 12 months at 30% lower cost than competing approaches.
Applications include autonomous navigation and manipulation for forklifts, mobile manipulators, and AMRs operating in dynamic industrial environments. The company has raised 900M KRW in cumulative early-stage funding from Bon Angels Venture Partners, FuturePlay, and Krew Capital, and was a finalist in the SNU Big-Scaleup Demo Day and a recipient of Korea's Manufacturing Innovation Support Program (500M KRW). The team draws expertise from Seoul National University, Chung-Ang University, and Hyundai Mobis autonomous driving research.
