Neubility Unveils Humanoid Robot ‘Billi,’ Plans South Korea Rollout

According to a report by biz.chosun.com on March 5, 2026, South Korean robotics company Neubility unveiled its first humanoid robot, ‘Billi.’

Neubility’s entry into humanoid robotics could accelerate efforts to expand the range of robot applications, building on autonomous mobility technology developed for delivery robots. The South Korean rollout will test how well the company’s technology performs in the real world.

The humanoid robot ‘Billi’ unveiled by Neubility is the company’s first humanoid. Neubility has so far developed the ‘OmniBot’ series of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), which, as [reported in our article on the start of an autonomous delivery robot trial in Tokyo’s Sasazuka area, the first of its kind in the city](/news/demae-kan-sasazuka-eria-de-jiritsu-soukou-robotto-haisou-no-201388), are also being tested for delivery in Japan. With Billi, the company aims to perform real-world tasks by adding “manipulation” to mobility. Billi’s features include a manipulator and vision-based mapless navigation. Mapless navigation is a technology Neubility has developed through its work on AMRs, putting Billi on an extension of that work. Object manipulation using a manipulator, meanwhile, is a new area for the company and signals an expansion of its robots’ capabilities from “mobility” to “manipulation.” The company plans to roll out Billi first in South Korea. The country has an established robotics industry ecosystem and is seen as a suitable market for real-world deployment. However, many challenges remain before humanoid robots can be mass-produced and put to practical use. Specific details on Billi’s specifications, price and production timeline have not been disclosed, and further announcements are awaited. This article is based on secondary reporting.
