Ai Robotics Technology is a computer vision technology company. Our vision-based perception technology enables fully self-driving in geo-fenced premises. Users can attain level 4 autonomy by installing a self-driving kit that includes cameras, sensors, and our proprietary AI software.

Wu Ran, AiRobotics' COO says: "To locate and assemble a talented team with all these skills here is challenging as the homegrown talents in AI or pioneering engineering tend to move to places such as Silicon Valley as it is seen as a hub for companies where they can find a fit. Building companies like this here is one way to solve the gap. "

1. What is something about AI Robotics that the general public might not know about?

Ai Robotics is a deep-technology company that is building an AI engine to move robots. Therefore, it has to work with the latest inventions and developments in Artificial Intelligence as well as multiple disciplines of engineering. All of these elements need to come together and synchronise to make self-driving work. There are claims and promises of self-driving in the media which may lead the public to think that self-driving is in the near future which is far from reality.

2. What are some challenges you have faced in your work?

It is rare that such deep tech companies are found in this ecosystem, as of now. Our company requires experts in different fields of engineering and technology and some with the rarest of skills. To locate and assemble a talented team with all these skills here is challenging as the homegrown talents in AI or pioneering engineering tend to move to places such as Silicon Valley as it is seen as a hub for companies where they can find a fit. Building companies like this here is one way to solve the gap. Furthermore, the extent of effort and time required to build a deep technology product is underestimated here.
