RoboSense Launches AC1: The All-in-One AI-Powered Robotic Vision Platform

2025-03-28 22:14 Last Updated At:22:35

SHENZHEN, China, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- RoboSense (2498.HK), a pioneering AI-driven robotics technology company, has announced the launch of AC1, the first product in its groundbreaking Active Camera series, along with the AI-Ready ecosystem, providing an all-in-one solution for robotic perception development. Mark Qiu, CEO of RoboSense, introduced the new product, detailing its design philosophy, technological innovations, usage, and application scenarios for developers.

As the inaugural product in the Active Camera series, AC1 pioneers the Spatiotemporal fusion of three core sensors: LiDAR, camera, and IMU. This hardware-level data integration enables the seamless combination of depth information, visual semantics, and motion pose. With an ultra-wide fusion perception FOV of 120° x 60° (a 70% improvement over conventional 3D cameras), an extended detection range of up to 70 meters (with precise detection of low-reflectivity objects with 10% reflectance at 20 meters), and a Stable ranging accuracy of 3cm@1sigma, the single device is capable of meeting all the robotic needs for obstacle avoidance, mapping, and localization, allowing developers to focus on core functionality development without the challenges of multi-sensor stacking, calibration, and data conflicts.

The AI-Ready ecosystem provides developers with basic software tools and open-source algorithms, including the AC Studio all-in-one toolkit, which eliminates the need for redundant development efforts. The open-source SDK includes a full suite of tools covering drivers, data acquisition, and fusion algorithms, while the accompanying algorithm library supports advanced technologies such as SLAM, semantic segmentation, and 3D Gaussian splatting, all optimized for mainstream AI computing platforms.

With the AI-Ready ecosystem, AC1 is designed for diverse applications that require the fusion of depth, color, and motion posture information. Developers can leverage AC1 for humanoid robots, drones, digital twin environments, 3D scanning, environmental monitoring, and bulk material tracking. The device also holds significant potential for autonomous driving, industrial robotics, and home robotics.

RoboSense has launched a dedicated developer portal on its official website, where developers can apply for AC1 trials. The product will soon be available for online purchase via the RoboSense official store, making it accessible to developers worldwide. Stay tuned for in-depth insights on AC1 and the AI-Ready ecosystem by following RoboSense.

RoboSense Launches AC1: The All-in-One AI-Powered Robotic Vision Platform

WASHINGTON, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Metrea, a leading provider of commercial air-to-air refueling (AAR), today announced a contract with the Indian Air Force (IAF) to enhance IAF AAR training capabilities. Metrea will provide Flight Refueler Aircraft (FRA) based out of Indian Air Force Station Agra in Central India.

This comes after Metrea announced in July the acquisition of the French Air & Space Force C-135FR and KC-135RG tanker fleet, increasing their presence in the commercial AAR market by fourteen tankers from an initial four KC-135R tankers. Metrea's fleet of 18 now stands as the world's largest commercial aerial refueling fleet which eclipses all but four sovereign countries in terms of size and capability.

As the only company to own and operate a fleet of C-/KC-135 aircraft, Metrea offers an air-to-air refueling service that seamlessly, safely, and professionally integrates into military aviation training and operations. This new contract with India represents additional growth of the commercial AAR market beyond Metrea's existing contract with the US Navy which already supports a large and growing list of US, allied, and partner air forces. The combined Metrea aviation units have flown over 130,000 hours, across multiple aircraft types, missions, and geographies in support of US, UK, and other allied and partner government national security objectives.

Metrea's tanker aircraft are equipped with two wing-mounted Multi-Point Refueling System (MPRS) pods which facilitate refueling with probe equipped Navy, Marine Corps and partner nation aircraft.

"Metrea is honored to be working with the Indian Air Force. Our contract will quickly expand their AAR training capability and will facilitate extensive training, exercise, and movement opportunities to improve IAF readiness." (James "Slim" Morgan – Head of Metrea Strategic Mobility)
