Canadian Company Wins ROBOTICS AWARD 2025

Maple Advanced Robotics Wins ROBOTICS AWARD 2025

The ROBOTICS AWARD 2025, one of the most coveted awards in the international robotics community, was presented to Canadian company Maple Advanced Robotics on 19 February 2025 at the HANNOVER MESSE Press Preview. The award-winning MARI AARS project is an AI-driven robotics platform for fast and code-free programming.

On occasion of HANNOVER MESSE, Deutsche Messe presents the annual ROBOTICS AWARD that honors robot-based automation and logistics solutions. This year’s winning project, MARI AARS, is an AI-driven robotics platform for fast and code-free programming. This is made possible by advanced 3D scanning, automatic robot path generation, and an intuitive graphical flowchart interface that eliminates the need for coding and CAD files. In addition, the MARI AARS platform includes features that compensate for deviations, ensuring a consistent level of quality.

In her laudation, jury member Dr. Annika Raatz from Leibniz University praised the outstanding innovation of this robotic platform: “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, 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 prize includes a promotion package consisting of exhibition space at the Application Park at HANNOVER MESSE, a presentation slot at the Robotics Forum and an interview in the Robotics Podcast.
