Abstract
ROBOTIS Co., Ltd (Seoul, South Korea) was founded by Bill Byoung-Soo Kim in 1999 along with two other engineers. The current CEO (Byoung-Soo Kim) and Vice-President (In-Yong Ha) were from the original team. The ROBOTIS name derived from the question “What is a robot?” and their vision statement can be read at http://www.ROBOTIS.com/xe/greeting_en. In 2009, ROBOTIS opened their USA office in Irvine, California and currently ROBOTIS has more than 200 partners in 40 countries worldwide. In a 2014 interview with Robot Magazine, CEO Kim shared his strategy for future products (http://www.ROBOTIS.com/xe/news_en/797584).
