Oshkosh Honored for Innovation with CES Honors

OSHKOSH, WI -- Oshkosh Corporation, a developer of purpose-built vehicles, has announced that two of its advanced technologies have been named CES Innovation Awards 2027 Honorees by the Consumer Technology Association CTA.

The recognitions highlight Oshkosh's continued efforts in applying autonomy and connected technologies to address real-world challenges across job sites and airports.

Oshkosh Corporation received the distinction in the following categories:
• Construction & Industrial Tech – JLG Canvas RO2330: An autonomous drywall finishing robot that performs repetitive mudding and sanding tasks. Featuring interchangeable robotic end-effectors, the technology enables one operator to manage multiple robots, extending workforce capabilities while supporting consistent finish quality. The innovation represents JLG's vision for intelligent job sites and a shift from enabling jobs to executing jobs, where purpose-built equipment can increasingly perform defined tasks autonomously.

• Supply & Logistics – GateBots – Connected Airport: Developed by Oshkosh AeroTech, GateBots are autonomous robotic systems designed to support routine aircraft ramp activities, including aircraft guidance, wheel-chock placement and other ground operations. Working within the company's iOPS intelligent operating ecosystem, these technologies help coordinate people, equipment and processes throughout the aircraft turnaround, supporting operational efficiency and worker safety.

"At Oshkosh, innovation begins with understanding the challenges facing the everyday heroes who keep our communities moving," said Jay Iyengar, executive vice president and chief technology and strategic sourcing officer, Oshkosh Corporation. "Whether it's enabling construction professionals to accomplish more through autonomous technology, or helping ground crews coordinate complex airport operations, we're applying AI, autonomy, connectivity and electrification to solve meaningful, real-world problems. These recognitions reinforce our commitment to developing safe, intuitive and productive products that make tough jobs easier."

The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), is an annual competition recognizing outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products. An elite panel of industry expert judges, including members of the media, designers, engineers and more, reviewed submissions.

Oshkosh will return to CES for the third consecutive year, January 6–9, 2027, in Las Vegas, showcasing how AI, autonomy, connectivity and electrification are transforming essential industries. From connected airports and intelligent job sites to the neighborhoods we serve, Oshkosh continues to advance purpose-built technologies that help everyday heroes tackle their toughest challenges.

Both award-winning innovations, GateBots and the JLG Canvas RO2330, will be featured in live demonstrations at the Oshkosh booth (#4641, West Hall), bringing the company's latest advancements in autonomous technology to life.
