[HBN뉴스 = 정동환 기자] An AI-driven medicine dispensing robotics company Pharma Robotics came out on top at the open IR pitching contest hosted by Seoul Startup Hub. The company garnered a spotlight through showcasing its automated injection drug dispensing robots.
An open IR pitching event for promising Seoul-based startups to secure private investment was held at Seoul Startup Hub Scaleup Center on April 28. Ten startups from the Seoul Startup Hub branches in Gongdeok, Seongsu, and Dongjak were evaluated by a panel of venture capitalists, who are partners of the Scaleup Center. Pharma Robotics was honored with the opportunity to pitch at ‘Try Everything 2026,’ scheduled for September 9 to 10.
The automated injection drug dispensing robot introduced at the event is a smart robot platform that leverages precision actuator control technology alongside its proprietary injection dispensing algorithm, ensuring one-stop process from hospital electronic prescription to error-free recognizing and dispensing of medicines.
In February, Pharma Robotics successfully completed the development of its first-generation automated injection drug dispensing robot prototype. The robot has drawn attention for ensuring practical safety upon hospital deployment, featuring a laminar flow design that utilizes HEPA filters in full compliance with injection drug dispensing guidelines.
Currently, Pharma Robotics is making a full-fledged effort to accelerate the adoption of its advanced technology. This coming July and August, the company sets to conduct large-scale usability testing targeting end-users, including nursing staff and pharmacists at major domestic university hospitals. The goal is to optimize the UI/UX by incorporating direct feedback from these clinical sites.
Yoo Je-cheong, the CEO of Pharma Robotics noted, “Winning the IR contest hosted by Seoul Startup Hub validates our technology’s value and recognizes our genuine commitment to solving critical issues at medical sites. Moving beyond mere numerical achievements, our ultimate goal is to protect healthcare professionals from hazardous environments and ensure patient safety by drastically reducing dispensing errors.
Meanwhile, the company plans to expand its production and research facilities in the Jeonju region, accelerating its market entry strategy for both domestic and international hospital markets.
