News Release | SEER Robotics Wins the 2026 IEEE Robotics and Automation Product Innovation Award, Achieving a Historic First for China
On June 4, 2026, Vienna, Austria — At the site of ICRA 2026 (IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation), one of the world’s most prestigious academic conferences in robotics, the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (IEEE RAS) held its annual awards ceremony.
SEER Robotics was officially awarded the “IEEE Robotics and Automation Product Innovation Award.”
At the ICRA 2026 Awards Ceremony, which brought together tens of thousands of leading robotics researchers and industry leaders from dozens of countries and regions worldwide, SEER Robotics received this international honor under the collective witness of the global robotics community.
This marks the first time a Chinese robotics company has received this award, achieving a historic breakthrough for China.
More importantly, behind this recognition lies growing international acknowledgment of China’s embodied intelligence industry in foundational control technologies, product standardization systems, and global commercialization capabilities.

SEER Robotics receives IEEE award
The award ceremony was held in Vienna on June 4.
The award is known for its highly rigorous evaluation process. Previous recipients include globally recognized robotics companies such as iRobot, ANYbotics, and Apptronik.
SEER Robotics stated:
“This award is a strong recognition of SEER Robotics’ long-term commitment to independent R&D, product standardization, and an open ecosystem. Looking ahead, SEER Robotics will continue to focus on core low-level control technologies, deepen innovation in both software and hardware, and uphold the mission of ‘SEER Robotics, All Robots. One Platform. Fully in Your Control,’ delivering more efficient and accessible infrastructure for global industrial automation.”
June 4, 2026 marks the moment when a Chinese company’s technological name was officially inscribed into the history of this world-class honor.
With years of accumulated expertise in low-level control systems, software platforms, and global deployment experience, SEER Robotics has demonstrated to the world that:
Chinese robotics companies are not only capable of building end-use applications, but can also leverage their strengths as platform-based embodied intelligence companies to establish the foundational infrastructure that enables large-scale industrial deployment of embodied intelligence.
