Vancouver, BC – written February 19th, 2025 – On February 19, 2025, at the HANNOVER MESSE Press Preview in Hannover, Germany, Canadian company Maple Advanced Robotics Inc. (MARI) was honored with the prestigious ROBOTICS AWARD 2025. This annual award, presented by Deutsche Messe, recognizes outstanding innovations in robot-assisted automation and logistics solutions.
MARI’s award-winning project, the Autonomous Adaptable Robot System (AARS), is an AI-driven robotics platform designed to revolutionize robot programming. By integrating advanced 3D scanning technology, automatic robot path generation, and an intuitive graphical flowchart interface, AARS enables rapid, code-free programming. This approach eliminates the traditional dependence on coding skills and CAD files, making robotic automation more accessible to a broader range of industries. Additionally, the platform features deviation compensation capabilities, ensuring consistent quality even in high-mix production environments.
In her commendation, Dr. Annika Raatz of Leibniz University highlighted the platform’s significant impact: “With its autonomous path planning, MARI solves one of the biggest challenges of high-mix production, namely constant reprogramming and setup. This opens up new opportunities—especially for small and medium-sized companies—that will also help to counteract the shortage of skilled workers.”
Dr. Jochen Köckler, Chairman of the Managing Board at Deutsche Messe AG, added, “Maple Advanced Robotics is a company from Canada that represents the tremendous innovative strength of our partner country. Canada has long established itself as a leader in robotics with a strong research community and a culture of creativity and collaboration. The exhibiting companies from Canada will demonstrate this at HANNOVER MESSE 2025.”
The ROBOTICS AWARD, established to honor advancements in robotic automation and logistics, evaluates entries based on technical innovation, marketability, and economic viability. Open to companies and institutions worldwide, the award aims to spotlight solutions that set new benchmarks in the industry.
As part of the award, MARI received a comprehensive promotion package, including exhibition space at the Application Park during HANNOVER MESSE, a presentation slot at the Robotics Forum, and an interview feature in the Robotics Podcast. These opportunities will allow MARI to showcase their innovative solutions to a global audience, further solidifying their position as a leader in the robotics industry.
Maple Advanced Robotics Inc., based in Richmond, Canada, specializes in developing advanced software platforms for robotics and machine vision in manufacturing. Their focus on flexible production and freeform surface processing addresses the evolving needs of modern manufacturing environments. By delivering cutting-edge solutions for High-Mix, Low-Volume (HMLV) production, MARI empowers manufacturers to adapt swiftly to changing demands without significant capital investments or the need for highly specialized personnel.
The recognition of MARI’s AARS platform at the ROBOTICS AWARD 2025 underscores Canada’s growing influence in the global robotics landscape. As industries worldwide seek innovative solutions to enhance automation and efficiency, MARI’s contributions exemplify the potential of Canadian companies to lead in technological advancements.
