Chinese robots are handling complex environmental perception, high-precision control

At Singapore's Changi Airport, a black-and-white intelligent cleaning robot moves steadily through crowds of arriving and departing passengers. Thousands of kilometers away, in a furniture factory in Sweden, a similar robot performs nighttime cleaning tasks in the warehouse.

These autonomous cleaning robots—named Viggo—are developed and manufactured by Chinese technology firm Idriverplus. They are currently deployed in over 40 countries and regions.

Idriverplus's proprietary system is designed to handle complex environmental perception and high-precision control, demonstrating stable performance across a variety of challenging settings.

The company began its international expansion in 2019. In response to the specific demands of overseas markets, its R&D team created a specialized "scenario database". This foundational system has allowed the robots to adapt quickly to extreme conditions, from desert heat to the subzero temperatures of Northern Europe, supporting the company's global deployment strategy.

"True globalization is not simply about replicating standards, but about using technology to sense the unique pulse of each land," said Zhang Dezhao, Idriverplus's founder.
