Hello World

Hello world!

It is always exciting and thrilling to start a new journey.

Recently, we feel better and better because we can communicate with so many users from all over the world and hear their views on robot lawn mowers and their needs for easy-to-use robot lawn mowers.

Where Are We From

My partners and I entered the robot industry 12 years ago and founded two companies. Every year, we spend a few weeks visiting and researching the robotics industry and discussing what we should do. In 2016, we thought we wanted to make a product that every robot in the future would need.

We thought that this product was a robot sensor, because the premise for every robot to serve people is that it can clearly recognize and understand the space it is in. In the next few years, we focused on this and encountered explosive growth in the robot vacuum cleaner industry, logistics robot industry and other industries. So far, the number of robots equipped with our sensors has exceeded 15 million.

Why Are We Here

What has not changed every year is that we still spend a few weeks researching and discussing the robot industry. Our first discussion of robot lawn mowers was in early 2022. In the previous year, our sensors and algorithms were installed in more than 2 million units in the robot vacuum cleaner industry.

When we started discussing robot lawn mowers with users, we were surprised to find that users had so many pain points, such as difficult installation, inability to determine the breakpoint when the wire was broken, unfriendly to small animals, and so on.

The lawn mower robot is not as easy to use as the sweeping robot. It requires complex settings and management and cannot be used out of the box. The most important change needs to start with improving the robot's ability to perceive the environment - and this is our strength. I clearly remember the excitement in everyone's eyes when we decided to enter the lawn mower robot industry in July 2022.

Since then, our journey has begun.

What Have We Done

Our plan is to improve the intelligence of the lawn mower robot first, so that the lawn mower robot can be simple and easy to use. So in the first step, we are committed to building an intelligent perception system for the robot lawn mower. Genie is already equipped with this system. (We will introduce this system in detail later)

The product development process is painful but happy.

In June, we started to send Genie to seed users for field testing. Then various problems occurred - signal connection problems, robot out of bounds, charging station unable to charge, robot unable to work in some scenarios, etc., and we were in a mess. Later, as the chaos ended, we were relieved to see that seed users sent us positive feedback on their experiences.

Now we still receive new bugs every day, and sometimes we are in a mess, but we enjoy this journey.

The Next Step

When the robot lawn mower is smart enough, we will strive to create an all-in-one intelligent lawn care robot system to free people from the work of planting grass, fertilizing, replanting, collecting fallen leaves and grass clippings.

After that, creating a fully intelligent garden care robot will enter our plan.

In this journey, we have only walked a short distance now, and there is still a long way to go to reach the goal we set.

We believe that robots will bring a better life, and we will fight for it.

Hello world. We are here.

How the most advanced robot lawn mower perception system was created?

(ANTHBOT intelligent perception system, AIPS)
Anyone who has watched our production video should have seen this part. I like this part very much.

This is the calibration and testing process of the ANTHBOT intelligent perception system during production.

When I talked about our entrepreneurial story last time, I mentioned that before the development work began, we had an important understanding that only if the perception system of the robot lawn mower is advanced enough, it can be truly simple and easy to use and can do more things. So in the first stage, we are committed to building an intelligent perception system for the robot lawn mower - that is, the system equipped by Genie.

AICS-1.png__PID:f7cf542c-160a-4aaa-9053-7f5fb1223f60

I think it is full of technological beauty.

Today I would like to use a series of questions to show our thinking process and the concept process of AIPS.

Part 1: Why is intelligent perception system important to robot mower?

1. Why do some people say that traditional robot lawn mowers are difficult to use?

Because it is difficult to set up the line, the breakpoint cannot be determined after the line breaks, and it is not friendly to animals, etc.

review-2.png__PID:4daa0c8a-a6fe-46d2-a141-7e667bae11b4

Many people have encountered this situation, right?

2. Is it difficult for a robot lawn mower to identify boundaries?

Yes, it is difficult. Take a sweeping robot for comparison. At home, as long as we close the door, the sweeping robot will never run out of the room. And its boundaries are all walls, which are easier to identify. The boundaries of the lawn are difficult to determine. Sometimes it may be a swimming pool, it may be a ditch, or it may be connected to other lawns. . . In short, it is difficult to accurately identify in 100% of cases.

3. Why are traditional robot lawn mowers inefficient and miss areas?

Because the perception ability of traditional robot lawn mowers is very weak, they can only randomly turn an angle when they detect the boundary line. For this reason, its efficiency is also very low. (Genie is more than 3 times more efficient than traditional robot lawn mowers)

The right side is the path of a traditional robot lawn mower, and the left side is the path of Genie.

4. Why do traditional robot lawn mowers harm lawns?

Because the perception ability of traditional robot lawn mowers is weak, the way they turn is to turn randomly when they encounter the boundary line, so in some corners, they will turn a lot of times, causing great damage to the lawn in some areas.

Even in other areas, because it cannot plan mowing, it repeats mowing too many times and crushes the lawn a lot, which is not good for the grass.

The grass in the corners is bald due to the frequent turning wheels of the mowing robot.

If you have used Husqvana or Worx mowing robots, you must have encountered this situation.

5. Why are traditional robot lawn mowers unfriendly to animals and even met with resistance from the Hedgehog Conservation Association?

It is also because traditional robot lawn mowers have no perception ability. They can only turn by collision or boundary detection. If they encounter inflexible small animals, such as hedgehogs, a disaster will occur.

Of course, if the robot has strong perception ability, you can also leave a space for small insects.

Genie is animal-friendly. All because of AIPS.

Therefore, an intelligent perception system is extremely important for a robot lawn mower. It makes the robot easy to use, efficient, and protects the lawn and small animals.

Part 2: How do we build AIPS?

1. Why are existing RTK solutions not stable and reliable enough?

First, existing RTK solutions are highly dependent on satellite signals, because satellite signals are very susceptible to interference, such as large trees and buildings. Therefore, when the lawn is complex and there are many obstructions, the reliability of this technical method drops rapidly.

Second, most of the RTK solutions of existing products are dual-band solutions, which are low-cost but have poor reliability. Genie first chose a full-band RTK satellite communication solution to ensure stability.

2. Why are existing visual solutions not good enough?

First, without the assistance of RTK satellite positioning, the visual solution is very unstable and easily affected by strong light and shadows.

Second, single or dual cameras have blind spots for robot lawn mowers, which are very easy to get stuck in trampolines, boundaries, etc., and the recognition of boundaries is not accurate enough.

It is not friendly to animals because the blind spots are large and may cause harm to animals in the blind spots.

3. Why do we need four cameras?

Two cameras in the front and two cameras on both sides ensure that there are no blind spots when the robot is moving and turning, and at the same time, the boundaries can be accurately recognized during the movement.

The biggest benefit to users: In some scenes with clear boundaries, Genie can automatically build maps, which is truly out-of-the-box.

This is the thinking process of the AIPS concept - full-band RTK + four cameras.

Part 3: What else can the robot mower do when the perception system is advanced enough? What is the potential of AIPS?

A lot, for example:
You can draw patterns on the lawn;
Find something you left on the lawn and notify you;
Identify weeds and remove them in time;
Find that the grass in a certain area is not healthy enough and fertilize it;
Find that the grass in a certain area of ​​the lawn is sparse and replant it to keep the lawn beautiful;
. . . . . .
There are many more. Your lawn, perfected. That’s what we hope for!
