AidALL’s ‘Bedivere’ Wins Dual CES 2026 Innovation Awards

AidALL, an intelligent robotics company specializing in on-device computing and neuromorphic artificial intelligence (AI), announced on November 8 that its guide robot for the visually impaired, Bedivere, has won dual innovation awards at CES 2026, the world’s largest IT and consumer electronics show.

Bedivere received two CES Innovation Awards simultaneously in the ‘Artificial Intelligence (AI)’ and ‘Human Security for All (HS4A)’ categories, earning recognition for both the technological innovation and humanitarian value of its AI technology.

This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it presents an alternative to overcome the fundamental limitations of existing AI robotics technology. CEO Jepil Kim stated, “Current mainstream VLA models are capable of high-level reasoning but lack real-time responsiveness and adaptability while requiring massive power consumption,” identifying the absence of an artificial cerebellum as the root cause. He emphasized, “Robot control depends on real-time reaction, and centralized large-scale models fundamentally cannot meet this requirement.”

AidALL’s Bedivere overcomes these limitations by incorporating a proprietary neuromorphic AI architecture called Self-Referenced Control (SRC), which functions as an ‘artificial cerebellum.’ This creates a ‘complementary artificial intelligence’ structure where DNN (cerebrum) issues high-level commands such as destination coordinates, while the artificial cerebellum controls the robot by responding in real-time to actual physical environmental changes. CEO Kim likened this to “an outfielder gradually moving to catch a fly ball,” explaining how the cerebellum’s predictive control intelligence enables immediate response to complex environmental changes even in low-power on-device environments.

The ‘Human Security for All’ category award particularly signifies official recognition that AidALL’s technology represents an innovation contributing to solving universal human problems. This category is awarded by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) in cooperation with the UN to technologies that enhance human security.

CEO Kim stated, “Current AI technology competition focuses on creating a cerebrum for robots, but we are building the cerebellum that will move in the physical world under the cerebrum’s commands,” adding, “This technology will accelerate the future where we solve daily mobility challenges for the 300 million people worldwide with low vision and blindness.”
