Automation Innovation Powered by Gripper Technology, LPTech Co., Ltd.

[Bizeconomy 2026]

Although robotic automation is rapidly expanding, limitations in flexibility and adaptability continue to be pointed out in industrial settings. Many systems remain confined to repetitive, pre-defined tasks, and require additional programming and reconfiguration whenever the environment changes. In processes that involve handling objects of various shapes, these constraints often lead to reduced productivity.

In response, the robotics industry has recently begun to focus on a key question: how flexibly robots can respond like humans. Technologies capable of adapting to diverse situations in real time—without complex setup—are increasingly in demand on the factory floor. As a result, automation is evolving beyond simple repetition toward more intelligent and adaptive systems.

Amid this trend, LPTech Co., Ltd. has been concentrating on developing technologies that address real-world industrial challenges. By combining non-contact sensing with vibration control technologies, the company has developed a gripper capable of recognizing and grasping various objects without the need for separate teaching processes. This innovation is said to enhance both the flexibility and efficiency of automated production lines. We spoke directly with CEO Park Hyung soon to learn more.

Q. Please introduce your company.

LPTech Co., Ltd. is a robotics innovation company specializing in the development of intelligent grippers and vision systems, which are core components of robotic automation solutions. The company is steadily expanding its business across industries where precision is critical, including semiconductors, biotechnology, and logistics.

Conventional robotic grippers have limitations in that they can only handle predefined objects or require complex reconfiguration whenever the environment changes. In response, our CEO, Park Hyung soon, sought to answer a fundamental question: “Can robots grasp objects as flexibly and precisely as human hands without additional learning?” Based on this vision, the company was founded on its proprietary “teaching-less” gripper technology, which combines non-contact sensing and vibration control technologies.

We believe that no matter how advanced a technology may be, it has little value if it does not improve productivity on-site or ensure worker safety. Therefore, our management philosophy is centered on “proving real value through technology,” with transparency and trust as our highest priorities. This principle applies not only to our internal operations but also to our collaborations with global partners, where we pursue mutual growth with customers based on honest, data-driven performance.

Q. Could you introduce your core business?

Our flagship product is the “Teaching-less Anti-vibration Gripper.” This solution enables robots to grasp objects without the need for pressure or contact sensors. At the same time, it effectively absorbs micro-vibrations generated during robotic operation, allowing for stable and precise handling.

In addition, without requiring complex programming, the gripper can instantly recognize and handle objects of various shapes and materials. While sales were modest in the early stages of development, they have steadily increased year by year. As a result, the company now records strong revenue performance and has successfully entered the European market, including exports to robotics-leading countries such as France and Germany, where its technological innovation has been recognized.

In particular, the product demonstrates outstanding competitiveness in industries that demand both precision and hygiene, such as semiconductors, biotechnology, and smart logistics.

Q. What are your future goals?

First, we aim to secure a strong foothold in the European market. We are currently in discussions with organizations such as Bpifrance (the French Public Investment Bank) regarding large-scale investments to support local production and the establishment of an R&D center.

In addition, we plan to expand beyond industrial robotics into the field of “daily-life service robots.” Through developments such as our wall-surface sterilization robot, we aim to evolve into a total robotics solution platform that enhances safety and quality of life.

Ultimately, we take pride in being more than just a manufacturer—we see ourselves as a representative of Korea’s robotics technology on the global stage. Rather than simply experimenting to find answers, we strive to turn our choices into the right answers through continuous effort and innovation.

Moving forward, we will continue to push boundaries and innovate relentlessly until the day when LPTech’s robotic technologies bring convenience to everyday life in factories and homes around the world.
