USLAM Air 5.0(TM) Transformed from UBTECH Empowers AIRROBO Robot Vacuums
HONG KONG, Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-Asianet/ --

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.
