HONG KONG, Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

AIRROBO (air-robo.com)(https://air-robo.com/), the smart home appliance brand

with a focus on AI-enabled technologies, supported by world-leading AI and

humanoid robotic company, UBTECH Robotics, today introduced USLAM Air 5.0 TM,

the much-anticipated technology empowered by UBTECH Robotics for its robovacs.

The USLAM Air 5.0(TM) allows AIRROBO robovacs to intelligently and accurately

navigate and position themselves with smarter map building and targets

identifying capabilities.

LiDAR technology and SLAM algorithm are the core technologies of any type of

robot. UBTECH Robotics' powerful USLAM technology has empowered the sub-brand

AIRROBO, deriving USLAM Air 5.0TM, which solves real-life problems in household

cleaning automation with high efficiency, accuracy and stability, not crashing

into chairs and tables before it cleans up nor getting pets tangled and messing

up floors, for example.

What is USLAM?

After five years of technological development, UBTECH Robotics possesses a

variety of proprietary core techs in the field of humanoid robots, including

the multi-source sensor SLAM system, lightweight semantic real-time map

reconstruction, scenario-based autonomous perception and comprehension,

navigation planning, and decision control. Based on these achievements, UBTECH

Robotics has independently developed USLAM (autonomous positioning and

navigation system), which integrates the functions of Localization, Mapping,

Navigation and Perception. USLAM not only enables a plug-and-play system for

multiple sensors, it also makes positioning and navigation more Efficient,

Accurate and Stable.

What is USLAM Air 5.0TM?

USLAM Air 5.0TM is derived from USLAM which has been validated and optimized

through application in the field of humanoid robots for 5 years. By supporting

Cloud-Based Intelligent Service Robot Cruzr in 2017, Autonomous Indoor

Monitoring Robot AIMBOT in 2019, UV-C Disinfection Robot ADIBOT in 2020, and

Intelligent Humanoid Service Robot Walker in 2021, UBTECH Robotics' powerful

USLAM system, has promoted the development of positioning and navigation

technology and the implementation of a wider range of applications in the

robotic industry.

Core Technologies

Combined laser and visual navigation for large-scene high-quality mapping

Multi-sensors take account of strong robustness and high accuracy

Dynamic and timely path-planning and 3D all-round autonomous obstacle avoidance

UBTECH Robotics empowers AIRROBO by applying the systematic integration of

autonomous positioning and navigation technology to smart home appliances like

robovacs. Therefore, USLAM Air 5.0TM was derived from USLAM. "Air" indicates

and symbolizes the lightweight semantic algorithm, which can be interpreted as

less requirements on the hardware, due to a more delicate algorithm. "Air" also

represents the brand identity of AIRROBO. In practical application, USLAM Air

5.0TM enables high-quality mapping in large or small living space, multi-sensor

millimeter-level high-precision positioning, dynamic path planning and 3D

all-around autonomous obstacle avoidance. In view of the above, AIRROBO

robovacs "think, understand and respond"* better in terms of mapping,

navigation, planning, perception, positioning, cleaning, safety and user

experience. (LiDAR technology is a sensing method that uses light in the form

of a pulsed laser to measure ranges for better navigation only, protecting

users privacy.)

"In recent years, as the pursuit of high standard of living has increased,

robot vacuum cleaners in China and the global market have been iteratively

upgrading to meet the trend of an aging population, increased pet ownership,

and younger residential owners. With smart appliances entering millions of

households, different sizes of living space and complex indoor environment have

become a challenge for the smart home industry," said Tommy Zhang, general

manager of AIRROBO.

Over the years, UBTECH Robotics has put robots into use in many fields, among

which, USLAM has processed more than 100,000 kilometers of course data* for

accurate navigation in large scenarios. The total area of USLAM's autonomous

map construction has exceeded one million square meters*. The positioning

accuracy of USLAM has reached centimeter level as well as control accuracy at 1

millimeter level*. USLAM recognizes over a thousand target identifications*,

and has supported the real-time construction of object-level semantic maps.

About AIRROBO

AIRROBO is a smart home appliance brand with a focus on AI-enabled

technologies. Supported by world-leading AI and humanoid robotic company,

UBTECH Robotics, AIRROBO is aiming to bring the most cutting-edge technology to

more and more households around the globe, making smart home a new norm of life.

* While using, the LiDAR on the device will build a map for cleaning path

planning only. Please rest assured that we fully understand the importance of

personal privacy. The mapping will only be used to extract feature lines for

cleaning navigation and will not be used for any other purpose other than

cleanups.
