URobotics Series A ~KRW 40B (~$29.9M): Kiwoom & K2 lead; Hyundai ZER01NE joins; E-DONG-KIT autonomy
Seoul KAIST spinout URobotics, which builds modular autonomy software for humanoid and quadruped robots, said it closed a Series A of about KRW 40 billion (roughly $29.8–$29.9 million). Edaily and the company report Kiwoom Investment and K2 Investment Partners co-led, with Hyundai Motor Group’s ZER01NE joining. URobotics does not build bodies; its E-DONG-KIT is pitched as hardware-agnostic mobility control for other makers’ platforms.

It claims the round values it at more than 10 times seed and says it has booked inspection contracts and revenue at construction and energy sites. Contract values and customers were not named. Earlier Korean coverage had flagged missing public commercial proof while a ~KRW 150 billion pre-money figure circulated.
Servospace take: Hyundai’s check is the signal. Treat the 10× valuation and revenue claims as company statements until filings show numbers.
