Primary Use Cases

Robotic Vacuum Cleaner – PAL Mini is a smart addition to robotic vacuum cleaners. Even in low-lighting conditions, its high-resolution and depth accuracy can detect very small obstacles on the ground and determine the terrain characteristics so the correct vacuum technique can be applied to improve localization performance. All at low cost, low power, and small form factor.

UV Disinfection – Ultra-violet (UV) Disinfection effectively ensures public places are free from germs. But it also introduces a unique need for PAL Mini – to identify the presence of any person within a radius around the UV Disinfection machine. Combined with Vision Intelligence Software, PAL Mini provides a complete solution to this challenge.

Domestic Robots – PAL Mini is exceptional for domestic robots as depth, distance, and cost are optimized for this use case. Operating with low latency, PAL Mini can detect the smallest obstacles on any surface, including toys, pens, and wires.

Autonomous Mobile Robot – PAL Mini is a great option to replace proximity sensors with visual intelligence. Small and cost-optimized, PAL Mini can not only detect a small obstacle in an AMR blind spot but also recognize it and understand terrain characteristics.
