AGV

AGV is an automated guided vehicle chassis designed for complex building construction environments. The platform carries robotic arms, or a lifting system together with robotic arms, and supports work at height and logistics tasks. Simultaneous localization and mapping and dual radar detection allow autonomous positioning, while a four-steering-wheel navigation algorithm enables path planning and obstacle crossing. The body is made of high-strength aviation aluminum, and the main frame is dustproof and waterproof. Adjustable light belts show the machine status.

The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver

The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver is an autonomous driving system for vehicles. The system can be applied to multiple vehicle platforms, from cars to trucks, and supports ride-hailing, trucking, local delivery and personal car ownership. Three sensing technologies are combined in the hardware suite: lidar, cameras and radar. Moving LEDs on the 360 degree lidar carry a personal identification symbol, so riders can recognize their vehicle. Sensors are placed to look seamless on the vehicle. The design aims to make transport safer and easier for people and goods.

Bipro

Bipro is a smart fitness device designed for home exercise. Bipro uses bi-directional laser projection to display images on both the wall and the floor. The extended interaction space supports immersive indoor fitness for different age groups, from children to older adults. A motion capture system based on computer vision recognizes hand and foot movements. Arm gestures control the on-wall display, while foot movements control the ground display. Users can jump into a marked area to start or continue an activity. The L-shaped body uses the internal space efficiently.

Hito Galaxy Battleship

Hito Galaxy Battleship is a heavy-load platform autonomous mobile robot for industrial transport. The robot moves components along automated assembly lines and can replace traditional conveyor belt systems. The body is made of aluminium alloy and engineering plastic, with layered forms and lighting around the frame, moving away from the plain sheet metal boxes common in the field. A modular structure unifies component standards and supports a serial product family. The robot measures 2310 by 1615 by 375 millimetres and carries one to three tons.

Opossum

Opossum is a robot designed for street cleaning. The robot works at night, when streets are quiet and traffic is low. A retractable suction head, shaped like a mantis arm, extends under parked cars, so the cars do not need to be moved. Sensors and cameras guide autonomous navigation and help the robot avoid obstacles. Solar panels charge the storage batteries during the day. The main body is made of aluminium alloy and the moving parts of high-strength engineering plastics. Quiet night operation reduces noise and eases the workload of sanitation workers.

Nostalx

Nostalx is a retro-style Bluetooth speaker that combines music playback with multi-band radio reception. The control system includes two knobs, three buttons and a multi-position switch. The left knob selects radio channels, while the right knob adjusts volume and turns the speaker off at the minimum setting. The multi-position switch moves between Bluetooth, FM, AM and SW modes. The shell can be made of colored plastic, wood or frosted acrylic. Nostalx replaces digital displays with tactile controls to create a sensory listening experience.
