Kudan Inc. has announced that it is expanding its partnership with UCS Co., Ltd. The two companies are taking their collaboration beyond mobile mapping and into robotics and broadcasting. UCS is well known in South Korea for its work in mapping and automation, and the expanded scope reflects how their earlier joint work has already proven itself in commercial use.
The partnership originally focused on mobile mapping. UCS combined its hardware with Kudan’s LiDAR SLAM technology and brought a handheld mobile mapping scanner to market. The device allows users to capture highly accurate 3D maps in real time, both indoors and outdoors, even in complex environments. This solution has been adopted across infrastructure inspection, industrial measurement, and research projects. These deployments showed that the technology works reliably outside the lab and can be used in real operating conditions. That track record created enough confidence on both the technical and business sides to justify moving into new areas.
One of those areas is robotics. Kudan and UCS plan to apply Kudan’s spatial perception technology as a core element of Physical AI. This includes real time self localization, mapping, and understanding of surrounding environments. In South Korea, robotics driven automation is moving quickly, especially in manufacturing, logistics, and service sectors. By adding precise spatial perception, the companies aim to support autonomous navigation and decision making for robots that have to operate in changing and unpredictable environments.

The collaboration is also expanding into broadcasting and extended reality. Using Kudan VANTAGE, the two companies will work on commercial deployments in sports broadcasting, starting with live events in South Korea. The focus is on high precision, low latency camera tracking, virtual production workflows, and more immersive viewing experiences. Accurate real time spatial perception is critical in these setups, both for live broadcasts and virtual overlays.
Through this broader partnership, Kudan and UCS are aiming to carry their combined spatial intelligence know how into faster growing fields. The goal is to strengthen their position not just in mapping, but across robotics, automation, and advanced media technologies.
