Interact Robotics

Interact Robotics (인터랙트로보틱스, Interact Robotics Co., Ltd.) is a robotics AI startup in Daejeon, South Korea, that builds what it calls contact intelligence: data infrastructure and a model meant to teach robots the force and touch skilled workers rely on when they push a connector home, tighten a fastener or press parts into place. According to its website the stack has three products. Dream Catcher is a data acquisition platform built on bilateral, force-feedback teleoperation: a master Arm that returns contact forces from the remote robot to the operator's hand, a tactile sensing Glove the worker wears, Studio software for recording, review and dataset export, and Lucid, the bilateral control engine that links the two sides. Dream Set is a contact dataset that adds force, torque, fingertip touch, operator commands, intended force and stiffness, and eye-gaze to camera and robot-motion data, with channels configured per project. Morpheus is a foundation model that the company says adds an understanding of physical force on top of vision-language-action (VLA) models and world models; the site gives no release date or specifications for it. The company names electronics, automotive, shipbuilding and heavy industry as target sectors, starts with narrowly defined tasks such as wiring-harness connector insertion in car assembly, and says it aims to add intelligence to robots and equipment customers already own rather than sell its own robot. It says it has run proofs of concept and technical validation with large companies and national research institutes, without naming them. Its two published case studies are automotive connector assembly and a dual-arm teleoperation platform for hazardous hot-box work from KAIST and Argonne National Laboratory research that team members took part in, which the company stresses was validated in simulated settings, not with real radioactive material. Its bilateral control work builds on Prof. Jee-Hwan Ryu's time-domain passivity research, the company says. The representative director is Donghyeon Kim and the registered address is 96 Gajeongbuk-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon. As of Oct 22, 2026 the company had not disclosed a founding date, funding, investors, customers or headcount, its newsroom had no posts, and MEKAWIRE found no investment announcement or public filing.
