Faster Crisis Response than Vision-Based Systems
$100B
Projected Robotics Market Size in 2029
Problem
$100 billion is flowing into Physical AI — almost none of it into hearing.
Visual sensors such as cameras and LiDAR are the foundation of robotic perception, but they often fail at critical moments such as fog, snow, darkness, backlight, and blind spots.
Solution
AI Earbot — AI-powered Auditory Spatial Awareness Module for Robots
AI Earbot is a compact, plug-and-play embedded auditory perception module that gives mobile robots human-like hearing without requiring expensive processors or cloud connectivity.
Module Size (W × D × H)
1.8″ × 1.8″ × 0.35″
Power Consumption
~ 300mW
Computing Method
On-Device Edge Computing
Core Algorithms
QRAS/QAAS/ASRA/ASENC/AAD/SDR
Integration
All robots & vehicle platforms
Deployment Status
2 PoCs · 8 in evaluation
Applications
Patrol Robots, Social Robots, Delivery Robots, Drones and Vehicles
Patrol Robot
Streets, Campuses, and Facilities are monitored 24/7.
