— Collaborating with Intel to strengthen smart logistics through depth vision
BEIJING, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire=Yonhap News/ — Geek+, in collaboration with Intel, has launched the world’s first Vision Only Robot Solution equipped with Intel Visual Navigation Module, enabling logistics with cutting-edge technology. Leading digital and intelligent innovation in industry.
Geek+, in collaboration with Intel, debuts Vision Only Robot Solution.
As the world’s first vision only robot solution equipped with Intel Visual Navigation Module, Geek+ Vision Only Robot Solution not only provides depth vision perception enabled by Intel RealSense cameras, but also provides V-SLAM positioning, complex sensing network and robotics. It features deep algorithmic innovations in Robot Following. This enables highly accurate positioning, navigation and obstacle avoidance, enabling companies to effectively cope with a variety of complex logistics scenarios while improving both efficiency and accuracy.
Advances in depth vision perception
The Geek+ Vision Only Robot solution is equipped with an Intel Visual Navigation Module that integrates an Intel RealSense camera. This camera is a new all-in-one design that allows all depth calculations to be performed directly within the device, featuring low power consumption and independence from any specific platform or hardware. Intel RealSense cameras feature core support for a variety of vision-based AI solutions and, when used with dedicated visual processors, can accelerate machine learning processes and shorten the deployment cycle of automation solutions.
Thanks to the Intel RealSense camera, the Geek+ Vision Only Robot observes, understands, interacts, and learns from its environment. By obtaining highly accurate and consistent depth data from the environment, it accurately perceives and interacts with its surroundings.
In addition to the camera, the Intel Visual Navigation Module also includes a Robotic Vision Hub equipped with components such as an Intel Core i7-1270P processor and a connectivity module. This provides reliable computational support for algorithms running on Geek+ Vision Only Robot, including V-SLAM positioning, complex sensing networks, and robot following, while enabling cloud edge collaboration over high-speed networks.

Algorithm innovation-driven collaboration for smart logistics upgrades
Geek Plus is collaborating with Intel to help drive innovation in deep algorithms related to V-SLAM positioning, complex sensing networks, and robot tracking based on the Intel Visual Navigation Module.
- Simultaneous localization and mapping (V-SLAM) positioning algorithm: fuse multi-sensor data and various visual feature elements to create composite maps such as point feature maps, line feature maps, object maps, and specific area maps. It provides highly stable and precise positioning in complex and dynamic environments.
- Complex sensing network: Uses both traditional object detection networks and verification networks to process multiple dimensions of sensing data to increase accuracy and reduce false positive rates.
- Robot tracking: Geek Plus has developed a flexible and efficient visual recognition pipeline by integrating modules such as person detection, re-identification, and visual target tracking. Once the relative position between a specific person and the autonomous mobile robot (AMR) is determined, the local planning algorithm of RoboGo, a robot-independent system developed by Geek Plus, enables autonomous obstacle avoidance and smooth AMR tracking of the specific person is achieved.
Leveraging the depth perception of the Intel Visual Navigation Module and collaborative algorithmic innovations from both companies, Geek+ Vision Only Robot ensures high precision and efficiency in environmental awareness, positioning, and tracking. This will help logistics and warehouse service providers accelerate the transition to smart logistics. Robots are expected to be widely adopted in areas such as logistics and warehouse transportation, helping customers build agile, digital, and intelligent supply chains.
“The Vision Only Robot Solution jointly developed with Intel effectively utilizes the depth vision recognition of the Intel RealSense camera,” said Solomon Lee, Vice President of Product at Geek Plus. “Growing our customers’ businesses through deep algorithm innovation from both companies.” “It increases efficiency and drives the digital and intelligent upgrade of smart logistics,” he explained.
“Highly accurate and consistent depth vision data is critical for AMR to achieve environmental awareness, which includes positioning, “It has a significant impact on navigation and obstacle avoidance functions,” he said. “Through collaboration with Geek Plus, we were able to lead AMR innovation based on depth vision data, which allows logistics robots to provide highly stable and accurate transportation services even in complex environments.” “By providing this, we are strengthening an agile, digital, and intelligent supply chain.”
Going forward, Geek Plus plans to continue to strengthen collaboration with Intel and lead technological innovation to develop smarter logistics solutions. Through this, the goal is to strengthen customer capabilities, secure new quality production in the logistics sector, and lead the future of smart logistics innovation.
The world’s first vision-only robot equipped with the Intel Visual Navigation Module will make its debut at CeMAT. If you visit the Geek Plus booth (Hall N1, A3-2) at CeMAT 2024, you can join in exploring the infinite possibilities of smart logistics.
