Kudan, NexAIoT, and NVIDIA Collaborate to Deploy AI-Powered AMR in Operational Factories in Taiwan

Tokyo, Japan – Kudan Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daiu Ko) is pleased to announce the deployment of NexAIoT’s next-generation AI-powered autonomous mobile robot (AMR), NexMOV-2, into live factory operations in Taiwan. The new platform is equipped with an integrated package of Kudan Visual SLAM and NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor, a collection of NVIDIA CUDA-accelerated libraries, AI models, and reference workflows for developing AMRs. This implementation marks a successful joint initiative between NexAIoT and Kudan, with collaborative support from NVIDIA.

Designed to meet the demands of real-world industrial automation, NexMOV-2 delivers a cost-efficient, high-performance navigation solution powered by visual data. It excels in complex and dynamic environments such as factories, warehouses, and hospitals. Following successful operational validation, NexAIoT plans to expand deployments across additional customer facilities.

By combining real-time, AI-assisted 3D spatial awareness with robust hardware and software integration, NexMOV-2 offers:

• Reduced implementation time and cost: The pre-integrated Kudan Visual SLAM and NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor significantly accelerate setup while minimizing the need for extensive sensor calibration or environmental tuning.
• Reliable navigation in complex environments: NexMOV-2 ensures robust localization even in dynamically changing, low-feature, or GNSS-denied areas.
• Versatility for diverse scenarios: From structured indoor factory floors to semi-structured logistics environments, the system adapts easily with minimal reconfiguration.

“Having NexMOV-2 commercially deployed in the operational facility is a strong proof point for our long-term vision of industrial automation powered by Spatial Perception and Industrial AI,” said Daiu Ko, CEO of Kudan. “By combining our Visual SLAM with NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor, we’ve significantly lowered the barrier to AMR deployment, both technically and commercially. We’re excited to support NexAIoT as they scale their deployments.”

“The deployment of NexMOV-2 marks a significant milestone in delivering intelligent and scalable AMR solutions to real-world industrial environments,” said Dr. Hoe Seng Ooi, Chief Technology Officer at NexAIoT. “By integrating Kudan’s Visual SLAM with NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor into our cutting-edge platform, we’ve achieved highly adaptive and efficient navigation with reduced deployment time and cost. This collaboration not only pushes the boundaries of AI-driven robotics but also lays a strong foundation for continued innovation and smarter solutions for our customers.”

This successful deployment underscores the value of the ongoing collaboration between Kudan, NexAIoT, and NVIDIA in advancing industrial robotics through cutting-edge AI and spatial computing technologies. As featured in NVIDIA’s announcement on digital twins, robotics and industrial AI for Taiwan manufacturers, the three companies will continue working closely to enhance system performance, accelerate deployment scalability, and drive innovation at the intersection of Spatial Perception, Industrial AI, and real-world robotics.
