ETEVERS, a leading digital transformation (DX) company, announced that it has signed an official partnership agreement with global robotics leader Boston Dynamics, securing status as an Authorized Reseller and Service Partner for the quadruped robot Spot in Korea.


At CES 2026, the world’s largest IT and consumer electronics exhibition held in Las Vegas, ETEVERS executives visited the Boston Dynamics booth to discuss expanded collaboration in robotics-driven digital transformation. The on-site meeting marked a strategic move to accelerate the development of a next-generation robotics DX ecosystem that goes beyond hardware supply to encompass robots, data, and AI.


Boston Dynamics’ Spot is a next-generation industrial robotics platform known for its autonomous navigation, precise sensing capabilities, and superior mobility in complex terrain. It is already deployed across energy, construction, plant operations, mining, manufacturing, public safety, and defense sectors worldwide. Capable of performing high-risk tasks such as hazardous area inspections, real-time data collection, security patrols, and anomaly detection, Spot helps minimize operational risks while significantly improving efficiency.


Through this partnership, ETEVERS plans to provide industry-specific smart inspection solutions tailored to environments such as power generation, plants, construction sites, mining, manufacturing, public safety, and defense. The company will also integrate Spot-generated data with AI-based predictive maintenance and asset management platforms to establish an intelligent, robot-centric field operations framework.


In the defense and public safety sectors, ETEVERS will leverage Spot’s terrain adaptability and remote-control capabilities to support high-risk missions including surveillance, reconnaissance, facility monitoring, and detection tasks—minimizing human exposure to danger and positioning itself at the forefront of advanced defense robotics solutions.


“Global robotics trends observed at CES are accelerating the pace of DX innovation across industry and defense,” said Ho-Jun Lee, CEO of ETEVERS. “By expanding a DX ecosystem that combines robotics and AI, ETEVERS will continue to grow as a leading AI platform company driving the physical AI ecosystem in Korea.”


A representative from Boston Dynamics commented, “We are delighted to partner with ETEVERS to establish a more structured and reliable foundation for delivering robotics solutions in the Korean market. Moving forward, we look forward to continued collaboration to advance industrial robotics and physical AI–based solution ecosystems together.”


ETEVERS is a digital transformation specialist built on cloud, open-source, database, and AI technologies. With this partnership, the company is expanding its business into the robotics DX domain and aims to continue leading Korea’s intelligent infrastructure market through integrated DX solutions spanning industry, safety, public services, and defense.
