HSINCHU, March 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Airoha Technology has been deeply engaged in the high-end Advanced Artificial Intelligence of Things sector for over two decades. It has crafted chips equipped with centimeter-level high precision RTK (Real Time Kinematic) satellite positioning capabilities that have been widely used in commercial applications.
The AI satellite positioning chip, AG3335A, was the first to be adopted by the global robotics giant Segway two years ago. Its groundbreaking product, the Navimow i series robotic lawnmower featuring the EFLS 2.0: a vision-enhanced RTK positioning system and the AI assistant mapping functionality, is an industry-first and is scheduled for a global launch on March 1st. The realization of this product exemplifies Airoha Technology’s core spirit of continuously learning from customers, leveraging advanced technology to support shared growth with clients.
Airoha Technology: Full Support for Segway’s Innovative Robotic Lawnmower Launch
In January 2024, Segway, a pioneer in short-distance transportation and robotics, unveiled the unique Navimow i series robotic lawnmower, the only one in the industry equipped with AI-assisted mapping functionality. Segway incorporated Airoha Technology’s dual-frequency, multi-constellation satellite positioning chips, leveraging the AG3335A’s precise AI satellite positioning capabilities.
AIROHA’s GNSS Chip delivers accurate position measurements in challenging scenarios such as under tree shade, around the external corners of buildings, and near various types of fencing where obstructions may cause satellite signal interference or weakening. With Segway’s unique vision-enhanced mapping and high-precision algorithm technology, Segway seamlessly integrates and deploys these critical technologies into this innovative product. With years of experience in robotics development, Segway possesses a deep insight of end-user’s experience. And this is the most crucial aspect to the launch of this brand-new product.
Airoha Technology’s Senior Vice President, Yang Yuquan, expressed: “Airoha Technology is committed to consistently providing IC chips and services featuring ‘AI satellite positioning’ to a global clientele across diverse sectors. Our chip solutions are optimized for quick positioning, precise localization, and power efficiency. Through close collaboration with our clients, Airoha Technology aims to enhance the value of their products and accelerate their time-to-market.”
