– The advanced robotics platform combines edge AI computing, spatial perception, navigation, and semantic AI capabilities to accelerate Physical AI in next-generation autonomous machines –

Kudan Inc. (hereinafter “Kudan”) today announced that its partner, Vecow Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Vecow”), a global leader in embedded computing and edge AI solutions, has officially launched the VTK AMR Dev Kit, a turn-key development platform for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) that integrates Kudan’s Spatial Perception and Robot Navigation technology.

■ A Pre-Integrated Platform for Next-Generation Autonomous Robotics

The VTK AMR Dev Kit (EDR-1000) combines advanced edge computing, multimodal perception, and AI-driven autonomy into a unified robotics development environment. It is specifically designed to accelerate the realization of Physical AI, a new generation of intelligent machines capable of understanding and interacting with the physical world.

Traditionally, developing autonomous mobile robots requires integrating numerous complex subsystems, including perception sensors, computing hardware, and navigation algorithms. These integration challenges often slow development cycles and increase engineering complexity.

The VTK AMR Dev Kit addresses these hurdles by providing a pre-integrated, full-stack robotics development platform that significantly simplifies system integration and accelerates:

Rapid Prototyping: Streamlining the path from concept to functional robot.
Algorithm Validation: Enabling robust testing in real-world environments.
System Development: Offering a scalable, modular architecture for AI-enabled machines.

■ Core Technologies and Strategic Collaboration

Through the integration of Kudan’s core technology, the platform enables robots to reliably localize, map, perceive, and navigate complex, dynamic environments—forming a critical foundation for industrial and commercial operations.

Furthermore, in collaboration with NVIDIA, the platform enables advanced AI capabilities, including:

• Semantic Understanding: Moving beyond coordinates to understand environmental context.
• Natural Language Interaction: Powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) for intuitive task-based operation.

By combining Vecow’s expertise in industrial edge computing with Kudan’s Perception and Navigation capabilities, the VTK AMR Dev Kit provides an integrated foundation for developers, system integrators, and research institutions. The platform supports a wide range of applications, from logistics automation and industrial inspection to smart infrastructure and next-generation AI robotics research.

■Accelerating the Physical AI Ecosystem

The launch of the VTK AMR Dev Kit represents a pivotal step toward building the ecosystem required for Physical AI. By integrating edge computing, perception technologies, and advanced AI models, it empowers robots to truly understand and interact with their surroundings.

As the global demand for intelligent automation grows, integrated platforms like the VTK AMR Dev Kit will play a key role in accelerating robotics innovation and enabling the widespread adoption of Physical AI technologies worldwide.
