About Shark Robotics
Shark Robotics builds tracked platforms around interchangeable mission modules. Colossus carries firefighting monitors, cameras, stretchers, manipulators or hazardous-material equipment and can deliver up to approximately 3,800 litres of water per minute. Its electric drive supports as much as 12 hours of operation while keeping responders away from fire, explosion and structural-collapse hazards.
Barakuda provides a larger defence platform with payload capacity around 500 kg and operating time up to ten hours, while Atrax is configured for reconnaissance, transport and armed-support missions. Shark supplies the chassis, remote-control system, payload integration, training and field support. The company’s robots have been deployed by emergency, military and industrial users in more than 25 countries.

The agreement covers Colossus and Rhyno Protect, with Hancom Life Care responsible for local sales, training, maintenance and after-sales support. The companies aim to connect Hancom's Agentic OS to both robots by 31 December 2026, with Shark providing technical documents, specifications and interface information. Software, interfaces and integration modules developed solely by Hancom will remain Hancom property, and the agreement permits products to be supplied under a Hancom-only brand by mutual agreement.
