Feasix AI, a South Korean startup developing Vision AI-powered outdoor mobile robots, has closed a seed funding round from Seoul Techno Holdings.

The company builds autonomous outdoor mobile robots capable of carrying payloads up to 100kg, paired with vehicle and license plate recognition technology. Its platform targets facility management tasks — including parking enforcement, cleaning, and snow removal — that have traditionally depended heavily on manual labor. By deploying robotic automation on the ground, Feasix AI aims to address both the cost and efficiency challenges facing facility operators.

The startup was founded by Jongwon Kim, who holds a doctorate in mechanical engineering from Seoul National University and brings more than a decade of R&D experience in robotics. Observing that conventional robots often created new friction points on the job rather than solving existing ones, Kim set out to build a human-robot collaboration model where robots handle the pain points and humans fill in where robots fall short.

With the fresh capital, Feasix AI plans to accelerate its technology development and bring its services to market faster. The company intends to sharpen its Vision AI-based perception capabilities and advance its outdoor mobile robot platform to the point where it can be deployed in real-world facility environments.

“There has been enormous interest in the robotics industry, but approaches focused on solving practical, near-term problems have received comparatively little attention,” Kim said in a statement. “We’ve concentrated on making the near future a reality rather than chasing distant technologies, and Seoul Techno Holdings shared that conviction — which is what made this investment happen.” He added that the funding would help the company quickly build out a human-robot collaborative service model and grow revenues steadily from there.

Seoul Techno Holdings expressed confidence in the team’s ability to bridge hardware and software in-house. “Feasix AI has fully internalized both robot hardware and AI software, giving them a precise understanding of real-world problems and the ability to solve them,” said Seunghwan Mok, CEO of Seoul Techno Holdings. “We invested because we believe in their direction — they are creating services that address genuine inconveniences in the everyday spaces closest to people’s lives.”

Looking ahead, Feasix AI plans to expand its outdoor mobile robot platform into a broader range of facility management verticals, beginning with parking, cleaning, and snow removal. The company intends to move beyond the domestic market toward the global outdoor facility management sector, while also leveraging operational data accumulated across diverse outdoor environments to develop a highly generalizable outdoor mobile robot foundation model.
