KUSA TECH has already deployed its autonomous cleaning robots in more than 30 locations across China. These robots rely on a multimodal sensor fusion system built to automotive-grade standards for reliability in outdoor operations. Seyond's Robin W wide-angle LiDAR will serve as a core hardware component of the partnership. The ASIL-B safety-certified and IP6K9K-rated sensor offers a 120°×70° field of view and up to 150 meters of detection range, enabling advanced perception in dynamic environments.
Each Xingyun® unit will integrate four Robin W LiDARs combined with KUSA TECH's proprietary fusion algorithms to create multiple layers of safety redundancy. This configuration allows the robots to operate continuously, regardless of lighting conditions—maintaining centimeter-level obstacle detection accuracy in low light and using active anti-interference measures to ensure stable performance in bright environments. The system achieves over 99% detection accuracy for debris larger than 2 cm, including gravel and leaves. It also significantly improves path planning in complex urban settings such as bike lanes and mixed-traffic roads, reducing obstacle response times to under 0.3 seconds.
China's regulatory landscape is increasingly favorable for the autonomous sanitation sector, with "embodied intelligence" now part of the country's strategic planning. Industry research predicts the domestic unmanned sanitation market could reach 300 billion yuan. KUSA TECH CEO Yang Xi said the partnership would "evolve from simple hardware integration to full ecosystem co-creation," enabling large-scale deployment across diverse sanitation scenarios. Seyond China President Larry Chen added that LiDAR and sanitation robots "are naturally aligned technologically," and mass-production validation is key to accelerating commercialization.
The partners aim to deliver 200 robots equipped with Robin W LiDAR by the end of the year. Initial deployments will focus on semi-enclosed settings such as parks and industrial campuses, targeting continuous operation capabilities. The joint solution is designed to provide scalable, standardized cleaning operations to support the development of smart city infrastructure.
