Every funding round, launch and paper, as it's reported.
Doosan Robotics agreed on 28 July 2025 to buy 89.59% of ONExia, an Exton, Pennsylvania robot integrator, for a final KRW 37.41 billion (USD 27.19 million) in cash, closing on 17 September 2025. ONExia has since absorbed Doosan's US sales arm, won Haleon packaging contracts and swung to a loss as the merged unit, while Doosan raised its stake to 94.12%.
LG Electronics' board voted on 22 January 2025 to exercise a call option for another 30% of Silicon Valley delivery robot maker Bear Robotics, lifting its stake to 51% and making the start-up a subsidiary. LG will move its CLOi commercial robot unit under Bear and keep chief executive John Ha in charge, but has not said what it paid for the second tranche.
Samsung Electronics exercised a call option on 31 December 2024 to raise its Rainbow Robotics stake from 14.71% to 35.00%, buying 3,935,814 shares from the founding group for 267,462,550,960 won. It also created a Future Robotics Office reporting to the chief executive, led by Rainbow co-founder Oh Jun-ho, and closed the share purchase on 12 March 2025.
Doosan Robotics and Doosan Enerbility terminated on 10 December 2024 the split-merger that would have made Doosan Bobcat a subsidiary of the cobot maker, two days before shareholder votes. The companies said a sharp fall in their share prices had widened the gap with appraisal prices and made closing uncertain. The move ended a five-month restructuring that had already lost its Bobcat share swap in August.
