The global market for Lidar-equipped quadruped robots is undergoing a monumental shift. No longer confined to research laboratories or science fiction, these agile, four-legged machines are becoming essential tools across various industrial sectors. From the rugged terrains of oil and gas refineries to the sterile environments of modern hospitals, the quadruped robot dog is the new frontier of automation.
With the integration of High-Definition Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging), these robots can now perceive their environment in 360 degrees, creating real-time 3D maps that allow for autonomous navigation in complex, unstructured environments where wheeled robots fail. Global enterprises are increasingly replacing manual inspections with robotic patrols to enhance safety and operational efficiency.
Stay ahead with the latest technological advancements in bionic robotics.
Modern quadrupeds are not just programmed; they learn. By combining Lidar data with AI, robots can recognize specific objects, detect gas leaks, or identify unauthorized personnel automatically.
The trend is moving toward fusing Lidar with depth cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and IMUs. This Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) ensures zero-fail navigation even in pitch-black or foggy conditions.
As seen in our 15kg miniaturized models, the industry is pushing for smaller yet more powerful robots that can enter confined spaces like drainage pipes or crawl spaces while maintaining 4+ hours of battery life.
Real-time data transmission via 5G allows remote operators to control fleets of robots from thousands of miles away, enabling "Robot-as-a-Service" (RaaS) business models.
Modern suppliers are designing quadrupeds with "open" hardware interfaces, allowing users to attach thermal cameras, robotic arms, or environmental sensors based on the mission.
For chemical plants and mining, the development of ATEX-certified quadruped robots is a critical trend to ensure safety in hazardous zones.
Power substations and offshore platforms use Lidar quadrupeds to perform routine thermal imaging and meter reading, reducing human exposure to high-voltage environments.
The Unitree B2 Fire Inspection Robot is designed for rapid deployment in smoke-filled buildings to locate victims and assess structural integrity using Lidar mapping.
Moving goods in warehouses with uneven floors or obstacles. Quadruped robots provide a level of mobility that traditional AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) simply cannot match.
Our AI Indoor Cleaning Robots use Lidar to navigate hospital corridors autonomously, ensuring 100% disinfection coverage without colliding with patients or medical equipment.
China has emerged as the global epicenter for bionic robotics, offering an unparalleled combination of supply chain efficiency, rapid R&D cycles, and cost-effectiveness. As a leading manufacturer based in Hangzhou, Excitech Technology Co., Ltd. stands at the forefront of this revolution.
Bringing intelligent robots into every family, and making everyday life more convenient and intelligent.
With intelligent robot as the carrier and AI technology as the core, we aim to build an intelligent eco-system with hardware, software, service and content all integrated together.
Creativity, Resilience, Collaboration, Straightforwardness
Established in March 2012, Hangzhou Excitech Technology Co., Ltd. is a leading humanoid robots and smart service robots company. On 29 December, 2023, we were listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (stock code: 9880.HK), and have become the first humanoid robot company listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Dedicated to the mission of 'bringing intelligent robots into every family, and making everyday life more convenient and intelligent', we have developed a full stack of humanoid robotic technologies independently. Building on our full-stack technologies, Excitech has engaged in the research and development, design, smart production, and commercialization of smart service robots, and has developed smart robotic solutions that integrate with hardware, software, service and contents. These solutions span various industries such as AI education, smart logistics, smart elderly care, business and consumer service.
Excitech is among the few global leaders in full-stack humanoid robotics technologies. Our full-stack technologies are a holistic combination of industry-leading robotic technologies (robotic motion planning and control technology, and high performance servo actuators), our AI technologies (human-like brain function and cerebellum function), integrated robotic and AI technologies (SLAM and autonomous technology, visual servo operation and human-robot interaction), and Robot Operating System Application Framework (ROSA 2.0), our proprietary robotics application framework.
