NexAIoT to Launch Next-Gen AI-Powered AMR NexMOV-2 with Kudan Visual SLAM and Showcase at Japan Robot Week 2024



Kudan Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daiu Ko) is excited to announce the commercial launch of the NexMOV-2, a next-generation AI-powered autonomous mobile robot developed by NexAIoT Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: New Taipei City, Taiwan; Chairman: Clement Lin). NexAIoT, a leader in industrial automation solutions, has equipped the NexMOV-2 with Kudan’s cutting-edge Visual SLAM technology, providing groundbreaking navigation capabilities for industries seeking high-performance, autonomous solutions.



NexAIoT’s development of the NexMOV-2 focused on creating an advanced autonomous mobile robot (AMR) that leverages its in-house AI and hardware expertise. By integrating Kudan Visual SLAM, the NexMOV-2 is designed for versatile deployment across a variety of environments while significantly reducing the production costs of AMRs. This strategic partnership between NexAIoT and Kudan has been instrumental in achieving these goals.

Unlike traditional indoor AMRs that rely on 2D-LiDAR for localization, the NexMOV-2 exclusively utilizes Kudan’s camera-based Visual SLAM for all localization tasks. This innovation enables precise, real-time mapping and navigation, improving performance in dynamic environments while reducing hardware complexity and costs by up to 30%.

The NexMOV-2’s AI-powered 3D vision navigation system further enhances its ability to perceive and understand its surroundings in greater detail. Designed for industries such as logistics, manufacturing, and healthcare, the NexMOV-2 offers unmatched flexibility and reliability in autonomous navigation.

Key features of the NexMOV-2 include a modular AMR controller that supports Intel SMARC or Nvidia SO-DIMM modules, allowing for customization and scalability based on specific operational needs. The robot is also integrated with ROS2, enabling efficient fleet management, real-time monitoring, and multi-robot scalability. It also features a smart, autonomous docking system that ensures continuous operation through wireless charging, significantly reducing downtime.

Kudan and NexAIoT will be partnering to showcase their collaboration at Japan Robot Week 2024, providing attendees with a first-hand experience of the NexMOV-2. This joint exhibition will underscore the continuous innovation between the two companies in autonomous mobile robotics.

Temperature Sensors

  Temperature Sensors: A temperature sensor is an electronic device that measures the temperature of its environment and converts the input data into electronic data to record, monitor, or signal temperature changes. There are many different types of temperature sensors. Some temperature sensors require   direct contact   with the physical object that is being monitored (contact temperature sensors), while others indirectly measure the temperature of an object (non-contact temperature sensors).   Non-contact temperature sensors are usually infrared (IR) sensors. They remotely detect the IR energy emitted by an object and send a signal to a calibrated electronic circuit that determines the object's temperature. Among the contact temperature sensors are  thermocouples and thermistors . A thermocouple is comprised of two conductors, each made of a different type of metal, that  are joined at an end  to form a junction. When the junction is exposed to heat, a voltage is generated th
