Squad Robotics will release its autonomous floor-cleaning robots with Kudan’s 3D-Lidar SLAM technology integrated
07.24.2024
Kudan is pleased to announce that SIA SQR (hereafter “Squad Robotics”), known for its innovative approach to industrial cleaning robot solutions with its headquarters in Riga, Latvia, will commercially release its autonomous floor-cleaning robots, integrating Kudan’s advanced 3D Lidar SLAM algorithm, “KdLidar,” as the core engine for high-precision positioning.
With a vision to revolutionize the massive cleaning industry by transitioning from human-operated to AI-operated autonomous machines, Squad Robotics offers its autonomous floor-cleaning robots and related services tailored to both cleaning machine manufacturers and cleaning service companies. The company has partnered with major European manufacturers such as Stolzenberg and others, making their robots available across Europe.
To meet the growing market demands, Squad Robotics sought to enhance the operating environments for its autonomous floor-cleaning robots. This need led to a critical product development collaboration between Squad Robotics and Kudan, focused on integrating a more robust SLAM processing engine.
By incorporating Kudan’s advanced 3D-Lidar SLAM technology with a sophisticated multi-sensor fusion algorithm, Squad Robotics’ floor-cleaning robots achieve enhanced situational awareness and the capability to navigate in complex spaces with high precision and stability. This collaboration ensures that autonomous systems can operate effectively in dynamic and cluttered environments, significantly boosting the operational efficiency and productivity of cleaning robots.
Kudan’s 3D-Lidar SLAM is now integrated into Squad Robotics’ key products, including the SQR SW1, an autonomous sweeping robot, and the SQR SD1, an autonomous scrubber-drier. These advancements underscore the commitment of both companies to deliver cutting-edge solutions that address the rigorous demands of the industrial cleaning sector.
Comment from both companies:
“We are pleased to collaborate with Squad Robotics to integrate our 3D-Lidar SLAM technology into their autonomous floor-cleaning robots. This partnership underscores our commitment to enhancing the precision and reliability of autonomous systems in industrial applications. By combining our localization technology with Squad Robotics’ innovative cleaning solutions, we aim to contribute to greater efficiency and productivity in the cleaning industry.”
