Ams OSram Belago infrared LED helps Supernode create a high-precision obstacle avoidance robot

     Ams OSram, a global leader in optical solutions, announced that it and Supernode, a leading provider of multi-industry 3D vision solutions in China, have jointly launched a home sweeping robot solution using AMS OSram's advanced Belago infrared LED. This cooperation has greatly improved the visual recognition capability of robots, bringing revolutionary progress to the field of household cleaning and industrial service robots.

     The navigation system is the core component of the sweeping robot, equivalent to the "nerve center", which is responsible for collecting environmental information, determining its own positioning and path planning. The vacuum sweeping robot solution launched by the two parties is equipped with AMS OSram Belago 1.2 Dot Pattem llluminator infrared LED, which has excellent infrared fill light function, which can provide dot matrix and infrared fill light on untextured objects such as white walls. The Belago transmitter generates about 5,000 points at 940nm wavelength, and the stereo matching algorithm can take advantage of these lattice patterns to handle these low-texture cases and achieve highly accurate depth maps, with the added benefit of reducing the computational load required to perform depth calculations.

     The Belago dot matrix illuminator is available in a mini-package, compatible with standard lead-free reflux processes, and can be used in a wide range of 3D sensing platforms, including mobile devices, iot devices, and robotics. In addition, Belago leds comply with human eye safety standards, ensuring safety in use. It significantly improves the object recognition ability of the sweeping robot, enabling it to accurately avoid obstacles and efficiently plan the cleaning path.

     With the help of several Belago infrared leds, the visual recognition solution can achieve a maximum recognition distance of 60-70m under bright light. These technical advantages make Belago suitable not only for domestic vacuum cleaners, but also for industrial service robots such as AGVs (autonomous guided vehicles) and unmanned service robots.

     Richard Qin, sales channel Manager of AMS OSram China, said: "With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and robotics, the domestic cleaning robot market is showing a booming trend. The advanced technology of AMS OSram in the field of optoelectronic devices and the deep accumulation of super node innovation technology in the field of 3D visual perception are perfectly combined to jointly promote the improvement of the intelligent level of sweeping robots and bring consumers a smarter and more convenient cleaning experience. We look forward to working with Supernode in more areas to advance technology in the future."

     Liu Xiaotao, CEO of Super Node Innovation Technology, said: "AMS OSram, with its leading position in the field of smart sensors and its relentless pursuit of product quality, has provided our sweeping robots with superior visual recognition capabilities. Belago infrared LED's high density dot matrix and infrared light complement not only improve the obstacle avoidance accuracy of our products, but also greatly enhance the navigation ability in complex environments. We look forward to further cooperation with AMS OSram to drive technological innovation in smart home and industrial automation."

     Yang Jingkun, senior product manager of Shenzhen Zhongdian Port Technology Co., LTD., said: "From the development trend of household cleaning robots, obstacle avoidance is expected to become another standard function after Lidar navigation technology. Ams OSRAM's Belago infrared LED performs well in improving the visual recognition effect of robots, providing strong technical support for the obstacle avoidance of sweeping robots and industrial service robots. We hope to further cooperate with AMS OSram in more technical areas in the future to provide the industry with more cost-effective solutions with obstacle avoidance functions."

     This collaboration between AMS OSram and Supernode will not only promote the advancement of domestic cleaning robot technology, but also open up new possibilities in the field of industrial service robots in the future. Both parties will continue to work on technological innovation and application expansion to provide customers with more intelligent and efficient solutions.
