About MDS Tech
MDS Tech is a South Korean embedded-technology provider combining hardware distribution, development tools, engineering support and technical training. Its robotics-related work includes NVIDIA Jetson computing, compatible systems and sensors, and integration assistance for developers building autonomous machines. The broader business also covers software testing, industrial computing, thermal imaging and automotive development, so robotics is one application of a diversified embedded-solutions portfolio.
For humanoid and home-robot development, its Jetson Full Package combines NVIDIA modules with products from ecosystem partners rather than supplying a complete robot. An October 2026 disclosure described a roughly KRW4 billion contract with an unnamed Korean robot developer and support for a transition from Orin to Thor. MDS Tech also works with universities and sensing suppliers on Physical AI training and development. The company traces its establishment to March 1994 and is headquartered in Seongnam’s Pangyo technology district.
