Holiday Robotics Raises $105 Million
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-07-14
South Korean robotics firm Holiday Robotics has closed a $105 million Series A.
The company's flagship product is FRIDAY, a wheeled humanoid robot designed for precise manipulation tasks in factories. Contrary to end-to-end approaches, it utilizes a VLS architecture: a vision-language module determines "what to do," while reusable skill modules stably execute the "how to do it," creating a closed loop for continuous iteration from real-world usage.
They have already conducted PoCs in sectors like manufacturing and automotive.
