AidALL, a company specializing in on-device computing and neuromorphic artificial intelligence (AI)-based intelligent robots, announced that its visually impaired guidance robot, Bedivere, won two innovation awards at CES 2026, the world's largest IT and electronics exhibition.

AidALL received two innovation awards in the 'Artificial Intelligence (AI)' category and the 'Human Security for All (HS4A)' category, recognizing the originality of its AI technology and its humanitarian value.

This award is significant as it presents an alternative to overcoming the fundamental limitations of existing AI robot technology. CEO Kim Jae-pil stated, "Current mainstream VLA models can perform high-dimensional reasoning but lack real-time capabilities and adaptability, requiring enormous power consumption," identifying the absence of an artificial cerebellum as the cause. He emphasized, "Real-time response is crucial for robot control, but centralized large models cannot fundamentally meet this requirement."

AidALL's 'Bedivere' is equipped with the proprietary neuromorphic AI 'Self-Referenced Control (SRC)' technology, which acts as an 'artificial cerebellum' to overcome these limitations. When the DNN (cerebrum) issues high-dimensional commands such as a destination, the 'artificial cerebellum' responds in real-time to changes in the physical environment, controlling the robot in a 'complementary AI' structure.

CEO Kim compared this to the cerebellum's predictive control intelligence, akin to an outfielder subtly moving to catch a fly ball, explaining that it can respond immediately to complex environmental changes even in low-power on-device environments.

Particularly, the award in the 'Human Security for All' category is a recognition that AidALL's technology contributes to solving universal human problems. This category is awarded by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) in collaboration with the UN for technologies that enhance human security.

CEO Kim expressed, "While the current AI technology competition is focused on creating a cerebrum for robots, we are creating a cerebellum that moves in the real physical world based on the cerebrum's commands," adding, "This technology will accelerate the future where the daily mobility inconveniences of the 300 million visually impaired and blind population worldwide are resolved."
