JD Digits debuts new tech at CES

China's digital technology company JD Digits is unveiling its newly designed universal robotic chassis, capable of helping engineers around the world develop robots with more flexibility and efficiency, at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The JD Commercial AMR Universal Chassis, independently developed by JD Digits, features precise positioning and strong compatible functions, and is able to plan and navigate routes automatically. JD Digits is also displaying urban computing technology at this year's CES.

Integrating lidar, ultrasound, collision avoidance, fall prevention sensors, advanced speech recognition and control algorithms, this universal chassis can operate efficiently, safely and stably. Carrying various interfaces and a cross-platform software development kit, the chassis is compatible with a variety of robot modules.

The chassis is well-suited for inspection robots and commercial service robots in a range of scenarios, such as greeting and guiding visitors at shopping malls and banks, delivering packages at hospitals, performing inspections at internet data centers and patrolling around parks.

JD Digits is also demonstrating an intelligent inspection robot at this year's CES. The robot can be used to perform environment and equipment checks in data rooms, and to assess inventory and monitor security.

It seamlessly integrates AI technology with traditional operations and maintenance tasks. Using deep learning algorithms and advanced machine vision technologies, the robot can perform automatic inspections and is also equipped for intelligent object recognition and tracking.

Another highlight of JD Digits at CES is the showcase of its strong urban computing technologies. The company has leveraged big data and AI technology to create an intelligent city operating system, which can provide customized solutions for intelligent cities, enhance the efficiency of city operations, improve the quality of urban life and ensure sustainable development of the city ecosystem.

For instance, by adopting state-of-the-art big data and AI models, its city portrait system can accurately predict traffic flows in different areas, which is important for managing public transportation and safety. Its ambulance redeployment system is able to lower average ambulance response time by up to 20 percent.

JD Digits was formerly known as JD Finance until it was comprehensively upgraded and rebranded in November 2018. Its operational purpose is to connect the finance industry and real economy with digital technology, boosting the influence of the internet, enhancing digital and smart industry development, fostering the development of the real economy and creating greater social value.

Over the past five years, JD Digits has become a global leader in data processing capabilities and implementation of advanced data technology, with AI and IoT among the company's core strengths. JD Digits' data technology output includes core capabilities on data warehousing, data mining and visual analysis, alongside other data-related functions.
