PLIKA, Inc.
Seoul startup building a mobile floor-printing robot that reads DWG/DXF drawings and prints layout lines on site, KTL-tested at 1.60 mm mean accuracy.
PLIKA, Inc. (Korean corporate name Plika Co., Ltd.) is a construction robotics company based in Seoul, South Korea. The company describes itself as a construction robotics company that provides automated construction services based on its understanding of architectural design and construction technologies. Its single product line is a mobile floor-printing robot that automates layout marking, the step on a construction site where crews transfer wall lines, openings, equipment positions and other reference marks from drawings onto the concrete slab.
The robot reads design data directly in DWG, DXF and STEP formats and combines that drawing interpretation with laser tracking to locate itself on the floor and print construction information. According to the specification table on the official product page, it prints lines, arcs, text and points in four colours (black, blue, red and yellow), weighs 25 kg, measures 39 x 55 x 35 cm and runs for four hours continuously. The company states an average accuracy of plus or minus 1.60 mm over the full printing path; this figure matches a path-deviation test report (average and maximum deviation) that the company obtained from the Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL) in 2025. Maximum travel and printing speeds are listed as 'to be updated'. A recruitment posting from the company says it is working towards a path deviation below 0.70 mm and that its printers are aimed at layout marking for facility infrastructure on semiconductor cluster and data centre construction sites in Korea, where dense mechanical, electrical and plumbing layouts make manual chalk-line marking slow and error-prone.
The company explains its market case with Korean labour data: by its figures, 82.4% of Korean construction workers were in their forties or older in 2023, and the share of foreign workers reached a record 16.2% in 2024. Plika positions robotic layout printing as a way to automate repetitive, precision-critical site work and raise both productivity and quality.
Company history (from the official site): Plika was incorporated in 2022, joined the 12th cohort of the Youth Startup Academy in Seoul, raised a seed investment, and received a Minister of Science and ICT award and a chairman's commendation from the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency. In 2023 it obtained venture company certification, joined the fourth cohort of the Global Startup Academy and was selected seven times for the Seoul Innovation Challenge under Seoul-type R&D. In 2024 it was selected for the Korean Standards Association INNOWAVE proof-of-concept programme and for KAIST's robotics track of the Super-Gap 1000+ project. In 2025 it joined the Seoul Business Agency and Hyundai Engineering & Construction Link-up programme focused on physical AI, alongside the KTL accuracy test. In 2026 it was selected for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups TIPS R&D programme, raised new investment led by Infobank with five other investors, was chosen for an open-innovation programme run by the Seoul Center for Creative Economy and Innovation with KINTEX, and signed a supply cooperation agreement covering all of Japan with the Japanese company Kaiteki Kukan FC.
A job-platform profile lists Logan Ventures as an investor, cumulative funding above KRW 200 million and a headcount in the 1 to 50 range. The company is headquartered in Room 1103 of the R&D Tower at Nuri Dream Square, 396 World Cup buk-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, and takes enquiries at [email protected]. It accepts adoption requests for the robot through the contact form on its website.
