Focusing on the layout of key components for intelligent driving, the company’s IMU product precision industry leader. As early as 2018, the company established the intelligent driving Division to carry out the preliminary research and development layout of the core components of intelligent driving. Relying on a strong software development team, the participation of interdisciplinary experts and the rapid iteration of intelligent software algorithms, the company’s IMU product accuracy remains the industry leader, achieving the first landing of application layer products. At present, the company’s IMU products have reached mass production conditions, and obtained Chery Automobile and Zhiji Automobile. IMU is a key component for humanoid robots to maintain balance and motion control. We believe that although the company’s IMU products are currently mainly used in the field of intelligent driving, with the continuous advancement of the commercialization process of humanoid robots and the continuous upgrading and iteration of the company’s IMU products, In the future, the company’s KJ3221X1-EA1 IMU products are expected to obtain a broader application space.
