Yujin Robot announced on the 5th that it received the Technology Innovation Award at the 10th Capek Award ceremony held at a Chinese hotel on the 31st of last month. The Capek Award, China's most prestigious robotics recognition, honors the legacy of Karel Čapek, the Czech science fiction author who coined the term 'robot'. The Award, overseen by The Capek Award Committee, celebrated its tenth anniversary this year.
Having previously won the Technology Innovation Award in 2017 for their residential cleaning robots, Yujin Robot has now become the first Korean company to win this award twice, with this year's recognition for their autonomous mobile robot (AMR) GoCart.
GoCart is an advanced material transport platform featuring Yujin Robot's proprietary intelligent navigation system based on 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) LiDAR technology. It achieves precise navigation and obstacle avoidance without requiring auxiliary navigation aids such as magnetic lines or markers.
The system has earned recognition for its comprehensive technological capabilities, including Fleet Management System (FMS) integration, 3D LiDAR-based SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) navigation, smart door and elevator interfaces through FMS, and an industry-leading PL-d level safety system with ISO13482 certification—unique among domestic mobile robots.
"This second recognition with The Capek Award acknowledges Yujin Robot's world-class technological capabilities and market-leading innovation," stated CEO Sung-Ju Park. He emphasized that through continuous R&D, the company is establishing global credibility as a total automation solution provider.
