The 2026 Autonomous Manufacturing AI World Show (AMWS 2026) opened on April 27 at the COEX Grand Ballroom in Seoul. Organisers said the event focuses on shifting beyond AI innovation in manufacturing to a stage of “actionable autonomous manufacturing,” where AI judges processes and directly controls robots and equipment. The programme includes keynote talks on policy, technology and application strategies, plus an exhibition of manufacturing AI, robots, digital twins and AI vision.

KB Financial Group said on Thursday it will take part as the main sponsor of RoboCup 2026 Incheon, an international AI and robotics competition to be held at Songdo Convensia in Incheon from June 30 to July 6. The event will run 19 competitions across five divisions, including robot soccer and disaster rescue, alongside exhibitions and an academic symposium. KB Financial also plans education and support programmes for youths and university students.
