Tesollo, a Leading Robotic Gripper Company, Selected for KODIT’s “Pre-ICON” Program

Multi-joint robotic gripper specialist Tesollo has been officially selected for the “Pre-ICON” startup scale-up program organized by the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT).

According to Tesollo on November 10, the company will receive up to 7 billion KRW in guarantee support, along with investment linkage, export assistance, and technology verification support, as part of the program’s growth infrastructure.

Tesollo develops and manufactures the “Delto Gripper Series,” a family of multi-joint robotic hands capable of human-level dexterous manipulation. These high-precision robotic grippers are widely applied in industrial automation, R&D, and humanoid robotics, providing reliable and advanced manipulation solutions across industries.

The company’s flagship model, DG-5F, is a high-performance multi-joint robotic hand with 20 degrees of freedom (DOF). Each of its five fingers consists of four independently driven joints, enabling precise, human-like movements. By adopting a direct-drive mechanism and high-resolution magnetic encoders, Tesollo enhanced control accuracy, while its modular design significantly improves maintainability and productivity—ensuring high reliability in both industrial and research environments.

KODIT’s evaluation recognized Tesollo’s core technological strength, global exhibition and export performance, and product commercialization potential. Tesollo already exports its products to over 16 countries, including the United States, Europe, Japan, and China, and continues to expand its global presence by participating in major international events such as the Humanoid Robotics Industry Awards 2025 (Finalist), AI for Good Summit 2025, and as an official partner of the International Robotic Origami Challenge.

In particular, Tesollo aims to realize the concept of “Robotic Hand as a Platform,” building an open-interface ecosystem that integrates sensing, control, and tactile recognition technologies through collaborations with various domestic and international companies and research institutions.

CEO Youngjin Kim stated, “Through our selection for the Pre-ICON program, Tesollo’s technological capability and growth vision have been officially recognized. We will use this opportunity as a stepping stone to become the global standard for humanoid robotic hands.”

Founded in 2019, Tesollo has rapidly grown with a cumulative investment of 8.5 billion KRW and an annual revenue growth rate exceeding 100%. Centered around its Delto Gripper Series (DG-3F, DG-4F, DG-5F), the company is leading the global robotic automation market and aims for a technology-special listing between 2027 and 2028, solidifying its position as a next-generation robotic hand platform company.
