Overview
RLWRLD is a Seoul-based physical AI company developing robotics foundation models trained directly in real industrial environments. Founded in 2024 by CEO Junghee Ryu (previously founded Olaworks, acquired by Intel in Intel's first Korean startup acquisition), RLWRLD trains its models using multimodal data from live factories, warehouses, and service settings rather than controlled labs. Its flagship product is RLDX-1, a dexterity-first foundation model for robot hands built on the NVIDIA ecosystem, unveiled at NVIDIA GTC Taipei 2026.
Clean safety record across 2 verified deployments. Funded with institutional backing on record. Deployment footprint remains limited relative to category peers.
