Solution overview

This solution adopts an innovative split modular architecture built on edge-cloud AI and whole-home laser SLAM navigation to enable autonomous movement throughout indoor spaces. The intelligent mobile chassis uses a D-Robotics chip as its core computing platform for motion and navigation. The system comprises three hardware units: an emotional interaction unit, an intelligent mobile chassis, and a portable expansion module. These units can be flexibly recombined to meet the needs of different scenarios.

Core advantages

Split modular design

the interaction unit works independently when detached from the chassis, supporting portable deployment, easy assembly and disassembly, and flexible form factors

Dedicated chassis edge computing

a D-Robotics chip handles laser SLAM mapping, environmental perception, obstacle-avoidance planning, and motion control, processing sensor data locally in real time to reduce cloud dependence and improve navigation response

Edge-cloud AI

the interaction unit handles multimodal perception and human-machine interaction; the D-Robotics chip runs chassis navigation and motion algorithms; the cloud handles model updates, data aggregation, and multi-device management, balancing responsiveness with ongoing AI improvement

Whole-home autonomous navigation

laser SLAM mapping, autonomous obstacle avoidance, and waypoint patrols enable free indoor movement and automatic return to charge

Multimodal emotional interaction

voice conversations, visual recognition, and expressive feedback accommodate the interaction habits of older adults, children, and other users

Cloud fleet management

batch device-status monitoring, remote configuration, and log collection support large-scale institutional deployment

Application scenarios

Deployment architecture

The system comprises terminal hardware, local perception, AI capabilities, and cloud management layers.

Terminal hardware layer

The terminal hardware consists of an interaction unit and a mobile chassis. The mobile chassis uses a D-Robotics chip as its main controller to process LiDAR and other sensor data for SLAM navigation and motion control. The interaction unit independently handles audio and video capture, voice conversations, and emotional interaction.

Local perception layer

The local perception layer ensures offline navigation and basic interaction.

AI capability layer

The AI capability layer provides speech, vision, and emotion algorithms.

Cloud management layer

The cloud management platform supports device operations, content delivery, and data statistics.
