Kudan’s strategic partner Movel AI starts commercial offering for integrated solution for AMR with Kudan SLAM

Kudan Inc. (headquarters in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO Daiu Ko, hereafter “Kudan”) is happy to announce that our strategic partner, Movel AI, has wholly integrated Kudan’s 3D Lidar ‘KdLidar’ and visual ‘KdVisual’ Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) software into its all-in-one commercial software solution ‘Seirios’ for autonomous mobile robots (AMR). This Kudan SLAM integrated solution is now available for the global market and is expected to have multiple commercial deployments on customer sites in the coming months.

Movel AI, the Singapore-based robotics software company, is widely offering its clients this all-in-one localization, navigation and fleet management software through a seamless user interface which will benefit from Kudan’s robust and highly accurate positioning software.

Kudan and Movel AI began talks in 2022 and the aligned synergy between both companies made us start to collaborate on product development and business expansion towards AMR market.

This partnership enabled Movel AI to integrate Kudan’s 3D Lidar SLAM and Visual SLAM into its Seirios Robotic Navigation System (RNS) and Fleet Management System (FMS) to offer greater localization and mapping capabilities to its clients. Both new and existing clients can experience enhanced localization accuracy by up to 2cm, so that robots can more precisely position themselves and navigate in the environment. Kudan SLAM also allows the robots to operate in dynamic and complex environments with excellent robustness, reliability and operational efficiency compared to other open-source solutions.

 

For Kudan, this collaboration and release of all-in-one solution allows us to offer customers navigation and fleet management solutions on top of our SLAM software. This will benefit customers who are looking to accelerate their go-to-market plan or to scale their robotic fleet aggressively.

“We are thrilled to partner with Movel AI and witness the commercial release of this integrated solution leveraging our market-leading SLAM technologies.” said Daiu Ko, CEO of Kudan. “With our collaboration, we look forward to leveraging the business footprint of both companies in different regions and helping AMR vendors in the global market grow their deployment base with enhanced performance and operational efficiency enabled by our joint solution.”

“At Movel AI, we aim to speed up robot adoption across industries. Our partnership with Kudan is a crucial step towards achieving this vision, while simultaneously advancing robotics companies to leverage enhanced navigation experiences.” said Abhishek Gupta, CEO of Movel AI. “Through collaborating with Kudan, we are confident in delivering a greater value by leveraging our expertise to offer innovative navigation solutions to the robotics market. This partnership is a significant milestone for both companies, and we look forward to the opportunities it presents.”

The joint solution has already generated the interest of multiple robotics companies, which are now currently testing it in different phases and progressing towards commercial site deployment. Seirios’ technology will enable everyone, even non-tech users, to enjoy the performance capabilities and experience a seamless robot navigation. Furthermore, it can also be scaled efficiently across robotic fleets, allowing robot fleet managers to run and delegate tasks to up to 100 robots with one single system.
