Doosan Robotics has received two CES Innovation Awards 2026, including the Best of Innovation Award in the Artificial Intelligence category and an Honoree designation in the Robotics category, for its Scan & Go Autonomous Robotic Solution. The awards, presented by the Consumer Technology Association ahead of CES 2026 in Las Vegas, recognize advancements in design and engineering across technology sectors.
Developed in collaboration with Canada-based Maple Advanced Robotics Inc. (MARI), the Scan & Go system uses artificial intelligence, physics-based modeling, and 3D perception to automate tasks in large-scale manufacturing and composite repair. The technology enables the robot to interpret complex geometries in real time and generate optimized tool paths from point-cloud data without requiring CAD modeling or code programming.
Mounted on a self-driving forklift, the system autonomously navigates and operates across structures such as aircraft fuselages, wind turbine blades, and architectural façades to perform sanding, grinding, and inspection work. The company stated that the solution is designed to improve production efficiency and workplace safety by reducing manual labor and exposure to noise, dust, and fall hazards.
Doosan Robotics emphasized the safety features of the Scan & Go, which include torque-sensing collision detection and fence-free operation at the highest safety certification level (PL e, Cat 4). According to the company, the system has already been adopted by wind energy manufacturers.
Kevin Kim, chief executive officer of Doosan Robotics, said the company is focusing on developing AI robotic systems that can be deployed directly in industrial settings. He added that Doosan plans to expand its portfolio of AI-driven solutions in the coming year.
The recognition at CES 2026 follows Doosan Robotics’ earlier announcement of its strategic shift toward becoming an AI robotics solutions provider, a move aimed at strengthening its technological capabilities and supporting future business growth.
