Three of South Korea's largest manufacturers have made investments in Config, a startup that aims to become a central data infrastructure provider for the robotics industry.

Samsung, Hyundai, and LG have all backed the company, which positions itself as seeking to become the equivalent of semiconductor manufacturer TSMC but for robotics data systems. The investment represents a significant endorsement from major industrial players who are increasingly focused on automation and robotics integration.

Config's business model centers on providing data backbone services for robotics applications, though specific details about the company's technology platform and services were not disclosed. The startup appears to be targeting the growing need for data processing and management infrastructure as robotics becomes more prevalent across manufacturing and industrial sectors.

The investment comes as South Korean conglomerates continue to expand their robotics and automation capabilities. All three investing companies have significant manufacturing operations that could potentially benefit from improved robotics data infrastructure.

Financial terms of the investment rounds were not disclosed, nor were details about Config's current valuation or funding history provided.
