[INQ. NO. 2312E21] Cuckoo Electronics Co., Ltd, a comprehensive health home appliance company, recently announced that its IH twin pressure rice cooker product line, launched for the first time in the industry, recorded an average annual growth rate of 81%, and exceeded 2.5 million units in cumulative sales within seven years of its launch.

The IH twin pressure rice cooker was first introduced to the market in September 2017. The twin pressure function, developed for the first time in Korea by Cuckoo Electronics, adjusts the taste and stickiness of rice to one’s taste through ultra-high pressure and gentle IH non-pressure cooking in one rice cooker through a dual motion valve. You can make sticky and chewy rice with ultra-high-pressure cooking, and moist and somewhat dried rice with no-pressure cooking. In particular, it supports the ‘open cooking’ function, which allows you to open the lid of the rice cooker and cook freely during non-pressure cooking, making it easy to complete cumbersome dishes such as rice with vegetables.
The popularity of the IH twin pressure rice cooker rice cooker, which has a variety of functions, has steadily increased since its launch. Since 2018, when sales began in earnest, it has grown at an average annual rate of 81% as of last year, and in October of this year, cumulative sales of the twin pressure IH pressure rice cooker product line exceeded 2.5 million units.
Thanks to its high popularity, Cuckoo Electronics has launched the Twin Pressure Low-Sugar Rice Cooker, which reduces carbohydrates while maintaining the delicious taste of rice, as well as the Twin Pressure The Light with a reasonable price; and the ‘Twin Pressure Petit’, an ultra-small premium rice cooker for 1-2 person households. Thus, the lineup was diversified by launching one after another.
A spokesperson for the company explained, “The twin pressure model series, which is equipped with twin pressure technology that allows cooking by selecting ultra-high pressure or no pressure, for the first time in Korea, is leading the premium rice cooker market, recording cumulative sales of 2.5 million units within just seven years since its launch,” adding “We will continue to release new products equipped with our top-level technology at reasonable prices so that more consumers can choose us.”

Korean Companies Win an Amazing 46% of CES 2024 Innovation Awards

December 22, 2023 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

Ahead of CES 2024, the world’s largest IT and electronics exhibition, to be held in Las Vegas, USA, in January next year, an incredible 143 Korean companies won CES 2024 Innovation Awards. Inventions in the fields of robots and artificial intelligence are attracting particular attention.

According to the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), among the currently announced CES 2024 award-winning companies, there are 143 Korean companies, accounting for 46% of the total awardees. Korean-made products that received the Innovation Award are diverse – including a liquid hydrogen-powered industrial drone; an artificial intelligence-based warehouse logistics management platform; a smartphone communicator for the visually impaired; and a self-respiratory analysis system. Looking at the award-winning Korean companies by category, their progress was notable in the fields of drones and unmanned systems; financial technology; digital health; and artificial intelligence (AI). In particular, Korean companies swept all innovation awards in the fields of drones, unmanned systems, and financial technology.
Companies in the robotics and AI fields also play a leading role in the CES Innovation Awards. Robotics companies such as Doosan Robotics, HD Hyundai, and WIRobotics are also joining the ranks of CES 2024 Innovation Award winners. Many domestic robot and AI companies are expected to receive innovation awards following last year, which is expected to boost global advancement of Korea’s robot technology. In particular, as interest in generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT has recently increased, many companies specializing in this field are receiving the CES 2024 Innovation Awards.

Doosan Robotics won a CES Innovation Award for its recycling sorting solution, ‘Oscar the Sorter,’ which is a ‘recycling separation solution’ that applies AI machine learning technology based on Dart Suite, a software platform that easily controls collaborative robots without coding. It sorts paper cups, plastic containers, cans, etc., removes contents, and moves to the designated trash can.

Without vision-recognition technology, it measures and recognizes differences in current value and size, depending on strength, by using the collaborative robot gripper ‒ while picking up an object. Objects with similar appearances can also be classified according to their material, and have the advantage of being able to classify even in a blind field. In addition, AI machine learning technology continuously learns the shape and material of objects, enabling sophisticated classification over time. This is expected to enable expanded application in the logistics and service industries in the future.

LG Electronics received a total of 33 Innovation Awards, including the LG CLOi Servebot, which significantly improved driving stability. This is the largest-ever award achievement for LG, surpassing last year’s when 28 awards were received. A variety of products and services received awards, including OLED TVs, monitors, washing machines, built-in home appliances, robots, etc., as well as contents.
HD Hyundai received Innovation Awards for a total of three products: Sensor fusion-based excavator collision prevention system; AI-based machine assistance for construction equipment (X-Agent); and leisure boat autonomous navigation solution (NeuBoat Navi).

AI-based machine assistant X-agent, which improves the equipment proficiency and productivity of construction machine drivers such as excavators, wheel loaders, trucks, etc., was evaluated as a product containing HD Hyundai’s unmanned and automation technology. Avicus, a company specializing in autonomous navigation of ships in HD Hyundai, has been awarded for the second consecutive year with NeuBoat Navi, which implemented a more user-friendly display by improving the AI recognition and control functions of NeuBoat, a self-driving solution for leisure boats that won an award last year.
Wearable-robot startup WIRobotics won a CES 2024 Innovation Awards for its wearable-robot, WIM, which received awards in two categories: robotics; and accessibility & aging technology. WIM is a wearable-robot that helps with walking exercises. The weight was reduced to 1.4kg and usability was improved so that it can be attached and detached within 30 seconds. WIM is a walking exercise robot designed for the general public, and is scheduled to be released at the end of January next year. This is contrary to the fact that many wearable robots have previously been used for industrial or medical purposes in special environments.

DEEPX won CES Innovation Awards in three categories, including computer hardware, embedded technology, and robots – which are its main fields with its independently developed artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor source technology. In the embedded technology sector, DEEPX applies AI technology to various embedded systems. DEEPX announced that its All-Info AI Total Solutions were respectively selected, consisting of four types of AI semiconductors optimized for AI functions and performance; and DX-H1; a technology specialized for minimizing energy consumption in high-performance AI processing to reduce carbon-emissions in servers and data centers in the computer hardware sector; and DX-M1 module, which innovatively recognizes the intelligence of edge devices such as robots for unmanned use, not only in industrial sites and social infrastructure, but also in everyday life in the robotics field.

Seadronix, a company supplying autonomous navigation systems for ships, also won a CES 2024 Innovation Award. Seadronix is an artificial intelligence (AI) system company based on data in the maritime logistics industry, including autonomous ship operation, navigation assistance systems, and ship inspection systems. It received the Innovation Award this time in recognition of the innovation, technology, and business feasibility of the software that supports the situational awareness calculation method essential for autonomous ship operation.

Nation A, an AI startup, announced that it has won an Innovation Awards in the AI, Web3, and Metaverse Technologies categories for its AI-creation model source technology. Nation A is drawing attention by introducing an AI-powered 3D motion data-generation commercialization service based on a foundation model that can generate 3D and 4D data using generative AI technology.
