Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) will showcase a large slate of research achievements on the stage of CES 2026, the world's biggest consumer electronics and information technology (IT) trade show. KIST said on the 5th that it will set up a pavilion at Eureka Park at CES 2026, held in Las Vegas from the 6th to the 9th (local time), and unveil a total of 15 research outcomes.
At this exhibition, the KIST Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics Research Division will unveil the Smart City safety management AI platform "CTScan." The technology simultaneously analyzes multiple closed-circuit television (CCTV) feeds in real time with a single graphics processing unit (GPU) to quickly detect hazards such as fires, with a focus on improving the efficiency of urban safety monitoring.
Outcomes in new drugs and energy will also be presented. The Natural Product New Drug Project Group will exhibit "NPI-finder," an AI-based new drug development platform that integrates natural product information to enhance usability. The Clean Hydrogen Convergence Research Center will showcase a next-generation fuel cell system that uses isopropanol—one of the liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC)—as fuel, presenting the potential to expand technologies for hydrogen storage, transport and utilization.
Startups housed at KIST Innovation will also participate. The startup Aidall previously won a CES Innovation Award for "Bedivere," an AI-based robot guide that assists people with visual impairments, and Phytoworks, founded by Lee Taek-seong from KIST, will unveil a device that collects full life-cycle data of plants.
Also on display are the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) digital therapeutic "AHRxD," an early dementia diagnosis Biosensor, the modular robotic furniture "Obot," AI-based Earth system climate modeling technology and a photonics-based quantum processor for quantum computer development.
KIST President Oh Sang-rok said, "Marking our 60th anniversary, it is meaningful to present mission-driven research results and innovative technologies on the CES world stage," adding, "We will develop solutions that contribute to sustainable growth and a better quality of life, based on cooperation with global partners."
