Seongnam Industry Promotion Agency (SNIP) will participate in MEDICA 2026 in Düsseldorf, Germany, from November 16 to 19, leading a delegation of four Physical AI medical robotics companies to support their global market entry and identify international buyers. The participation is part of a project to establish a Technology Integration Center for Physical AI-based Medical Robotics under the Bioindustry Open Ecosystem Promotion Program of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT). SNIP will be joined by RS REHAB, EXOSYSTEMS, KOMOTEK and NTL HEALTHCARE to introduce their technologies and explore partnerships with international distributors, healthcare providers, manufacturers and investors.
The importance of this announcement lies in its potential to accelerate the commercialization of specialized medical robotics and digital health tools beyond South Korea. SNIP will identify qualified buyers and support business meetings tailored to each company's technologies, products and international expansion needs. Through MEDICA's Fair Match platform and other meeting opportunities, the companies will discuss product adoption, local distribution, joint development and technology cooperation, laying the groundwork for follow-up discussions after the exhibition. For international distributors and healthcare providers, this represents an early opportunity to engage with emerging Physical AI solutions before they reach broader markets.
RS REHAB develops rehabilitation technologies related to swallowing function. Its RS-STIM2 uses four-channel sequential electrical stimulation, with a design that takes into account the sequence of muscle activation during natural swallowing. The company has also refined multilingual support and the user interface for international use. At MEDICA, RS REHAB will discuss product applications and local adoption with medical device distributors, hospitals and rehabilitation centers seeking swallowing rehabilitation solutions.
EXOSYSTEMS develops AI-based physical function assessment and wearable biosignal technologies. Its exoFit solution combines wireless surface electromyography and inertial sensors to measure muscle activity and movement, providing visual information on left–right balance, fatigue trends and gait characteristics. These insights can help exercise professionals design individualized programs and track changes over time. The company seeks partnerships with distributors and service providers in exercise, fitness and senior wellness.
KOMOTEK specializes in the design and manufacture of precision servo motors, with development capabilities tailored to customers' equipment structures and operating environments. Its portfolio includes high-speed customized servo motors, miniature servo motors and hollow frameless motors. Configurable design features, including encoders and shaft and flange dimensions, offer opportunities for manufacturers developing drive systems for medical robots and automated equipment or seeking new component suppliers.
NTL HEALTHCARE develops AI technologies for women's health. Its CerviCARE AI analyzes cervical images to support healthcare professionals in screening. The company will discuss practical use, local adoption and commercialization opportunities with healthcare providers considering AI-assisted screening and international distributors specializing in women's health products.
The program aims to support global market entry in Physical AI medical robotics by developing international partnerships around the participating companies' rehabilitation solutions, physical function data, precision motion components and women's health AI. Prospective partners can meet company representatives to discuss product distribution, component supply, joint development and service integration. For the medical robotics industry, the delegation signals South Korea's push to position its Physical AI companies in the global supply chain, while for healthcare providers and distributors it offers a chance to evaluate new technologies that could improve rehabilitation, fitness assessment, robotic components and women's health screening.
