Polaris3D Achieves Double Honors: Korea Design Award & Ministry of SMEs and Startups Commendation
Proving Excellence in Both Design Innovation and Advanced Robotics Technology
Polaris3D has once again demonstrated its leadership in the Korean robotics industry by securing two major accolades: the 2025 Korea Design Award in the Industrial Design (Product) category and a Minister’s Commendation from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups for its contributions to KAIST’s Super-Gap national innovation program.
These achievements highlight Polaris3D’s dual strengths—cutting-edge technology and human-centered industrial design—solidifying its position as a next-generation robotics innovator.
Raising the Standard of Industrial Robot Design with SMAR
Polaris3D’s next-generation manufacturing automation robot, SMAR (Seamless Manufacturing AI Robot), received high praise for its refined balance of functionality, usability, and psychological comfort within real-world manufacturing environments.
The SMAR AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) is accelerating smart factory transformation by automating and unmanning SMT–SMD production lines, where key electronic components are assembled. Already validated in the field and deployed across 12 global sites—starting with Samsung Electronics’ Gumi plant—the robot has proven its reliability and performance in high-demand industrial settings.
SMAR impressed judges with:
- Operator-centered structural optimization
- Modular design for scalable manufacturing
- High reliability in real-world use cases
This award positions SMAR as a new benchmark in industrial robotics design.
Recognized for Technological Contribution to Korea’s Super-Gap Initiative
Polaris3D was additionally honored with a Minister’s Commendation from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups for its contributions to KAIST’s flagship Super-Gap project—an ambitious national program aimed at securing dominant competitive advantage in future technologies.
Polaris3D has played a key role in developing and validating essential robotic technologies within this initiative, earning strong evaluations for its innovation and impact on Korea’s robotics ecosystem.
Establishing Itself as “A Robotics Company with Both Technology and Design”
With these two prestigious awards, Polaris3D reaffirms its commitment to leading innovation in the robotics sector. The company plans to continue developing next-generation robotic platforms that seamlessly integrate technology, design, and user experience, while accelerating its expansion into global markets.
Polaris3D’s vision is clear: to pioneer the future of manufacturing automation through intelligent, beautifully designed robotics.
