RLWRLD

RLWRLD is a South Korean physical AI startup building foundation models for industrial robotics. The company's core technology is a visual-language-action (VLA) model — called RLDX — that gives robots the ability to perceive, reason, and perform dexterous manipulation in real-world factory and warehouse environments. RLWRLD's models are trained on real-world operational data and designed to enable autonomous robot operation at scale across enterprise partners in Japan and South Korea. Founded by CEO Jung-hee Ryu and backed by Korean and Japanese strategic investors, RLWRLD raised $15M in Seed 1 funding (April 2025) and $26M in Seed 2 (February 2026), bringing total funding to $41M. The company participates in NVIDIA's Inception program and targets industrial automation use cases requiring fine dexterity.
