Maple Advanced Robotics Inc. (MARI) is a Canadian innovator in advanced robotics and machine vision software for manufacturing. Founded in 2020, MARI's mission is to bring adaptable, user-friendly automation to high-mix, low-volume production environments. MARI's flagship Autonomous

Adaptable Robot System (AARS) revolutionizes robotic programming by using 3D vision and AI to automatically generate optimized motion plans for variable parts and processes. This allows manufacturers to automate complex tasks like sanding, polishing, spraying and assembly with minimal operator input and rapid changeovers.

By combining advanced computer vision, AI path planning, intuitive programming, and application-specific process control, MARI's AARS platform offers a uniquely adaptable and efficient solution for automating variable tasks in industries such as automotive, aerospace, general machining and industrial equipment. Based in Toronto, MARI has assembled a world-class team of robotics and AI experts to bring its innovative technologies to the global market. With the support of the Canadian Technology Accelerator program, MARI is poised to introduce its breakthrough solutions to manufacturers in Germany and the UK seeking to automate challenging high-mix applications.

Maple Advanced Robotics Inc. has been nominated for the ROBOTICS AWARD 2025 at HANNOVER MESSE!
