Kudan Expands Collaboration with UCS in Korea to Robotics and Broadcast Solutions

Kudan Inc. (hereinafter “Kudan”) is pleased to announce an expansion of its collaboration with UCS Co., Ltd. (“UCS”), a leading Korean mapping and automation solutions provider, into robotics applications and broadcast solution integration. This expansion builds on the companies’ successful partnership in mobile mapping scanner development and ongoing commercial deployments powered by Kudan’s LiDAR SLAM technology.

Proven Collaboration to Date

Since the start of the collaboration, UCS has successfully commercialized a handheld mobile mapping solution incorporating Kudan’s LiDAR SLAM software. The solution delivers high-precision, real-time 3D mapping across complex indoor and outdoor environments.

The product has seen steady market adoption across infrastructure inspection, industrial measurement, and research applications, validating both the technical robustness and the commercial viability of Kudan’s spatial perception technology in real-world operations.

This track record has established a strong technical and commercial foundation between the two companies, positioning the partnership for broader expansion into adjacent domains where real-time spatial understanding is critical.

Strategic Expansion to Robotics and Broadcasting

Building on this momentum, Kudan and UCS will jointly pursue business development in robotics, with a focus on solutions that leverage Kudan’s Spatial Perception technology as a core enabler of Physical AI.

By combining real-time localization, mapping and environmental understanding, the collaboration aims to support autonomous navigation, spatial awareness, and decision-making capabilities required by next-generation service and industrial robots operating in complex, dynamic environments, addressing the accelerating demand for robotics-driven automation in the Korean market, particularly across manufacturing, logistics, and service sectors.

In parallel, the partners will jointly promote the commercial deployment of broadcast and XR-enabled solutions using Kudan VANTAGE, as previously announced, targeting live sports events in Korea. By delivering high-precision, low-latency camera tracking, virtual production, and immersive viewing experiences, the collaboration will support next-generation sports broadcasting workflows and enhance audience engagement. This initiative extends the partnership into intelligent media systems, where accurate, real-time spatial perception is a critical foundation for both live and virtual productions.

The expansion of collaboration aligns with growing industry trends toward autonomy and spatial computing, where accurate and real-time perception, mapping, and localization are key enablers for robots and intelligent media systems alike. Kudan’s deep expertise in SLAM and Spatial Perception complements UCS’s strengths in system integration and market deployment in Korea.
