It was our great honor to receive the visit of Singapore Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies Heng Swee Keat yesterday. I shared with DPM about developing and deploying [affordable] deep-tech robots for road/water/table cleaning, grass cutting, tough site patrolling and inspection. We also shared with DPM about talent training such as advanced robotics developers, dedicated robotics technicians and operators.

The system equips with one lidar-based autonomous navigation AMR base, a 6-DOF collaborative robot arm with a customized-designed holders for two cloth, AI/vision system. The entire motion planning and computer vision runs on NVIDIA Jetson XAVIER. The robot autonomously travels to each corner of the table, detects whether there are some valuable items on the table before making the cleaning procedures.

A group of engineering undergraduates from University of Wollongong, Australia lead by Prof. Li Weihua spent 1 day with engineers from Weston Robot. Dr. Zhang Yanliang from Weston Robot shared with students about how to close the gap between the academic and industry when deploying robots to solve real-time challenges.

NEA CEO Mr. Luke Goh and his leadership team from National Environmental Agency of Singapore visited Weston Robot to explore different robots used for environment protection and worker shortage mitigation in Singapore. Weston Robot's CEO Dr. Zhang Yanliang presented different robotics solutions for the environmental sector.

At the recent CleanEnviro Summit Singapore (CESG) 2022, Weston Robot demonstrated a few robots aimed for environmental sustainability, including mosquito fogging robot, outdoor disinfection robot, USV for water cleaning, paved road sweeping robot, electrical robotics mower, and robot dogs for outdoor patrolling.

At BuildTech Aisa 2022, Minister of State for National Development Kiat How Tan trying out exoskeletons which reduces fatigue and provides support during manual labor. We also demonstrated how to use robot dogs for patrolling and inspection jobs, and UGV for various construction jobs.

While Singapore Financial Minister Lawrence Wong just talked about reducing carbon emission in Singapore, talk a look at our zero-carbon emission lawn mower running at Bishan Park, which can replace hundreds of gasoline-powered mowers. To help reduce the carbon emission of many gasoline-powered mowers, electrical mower CHAFER™ from Weston Robot is powered by battery with zero carbon emission. The electric mower can climb 30° ramp, work near the road edge, and highly efficient.

As the world gets smarter and more innovative, the next breakthrough may just be won by the next risk-risker. But our task forces are really ready to take the challenges? Weston Robot shares the deep-tech job opportunities that many young Singaporeans can grab.

Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) equipped with M1 5G perform garbage collection and water surveillance at Marina Keppel Bay (MKB) Singapore to test M1 5G coverage on the water area. A piece of good equipment that reduces water pollution (no gasoline required), remote cleaning, creating more high-tech jobs and cleaner water area for all to enjoy.

Has the pandemic greatly accelerated technological advancements such as robotics adoption? The answer is an evident yes, as we start to observe their presence significantly in the area of healthcare. Weston Robot's Chief Scientist Dr. Zhang Yanliang was invited to share his thoughts about how robots are used to combat with COVID-19 in Singapore and the globe.

3D lidar is one of the key enabling technologies that helps robots see and understand our world. Ouster's 3D lidars have been widely adopted in autonomous driving and robotics research and deployment. Weston Robot now officially partners with Ouster to promote the lidar-based navigation for outdoor robotics applications.

Weston Robot was invited to participate in OCBC EMERGING ENTERPRISE AWARD 2020, where more than 400 Singapore-based SMEs submitted their application. After rounds of competitive internal review and on-site presentation, Weston Robot won the Best Innovation Award, and was

Weston Robot (Singapore) launches mobile robots to combat COVID-19. The mobile disinfection robots enable disinfection using chemicals for open area, and UV lights for enclosed spaces (MRT and dormitory). The mobile temperature screening robots proactively search for persons with abnormal body temperature. It can also be used for mask detection and social distance measuring.

As part of our social mission - serving the community, Weston Robot brings a fleet of robots to Singapore Canadian International School, as part of their STEAM education program. The students were thrived to see, touch and operate the robots.

The COVID-19 outbreak has seen more facility owners using robot cleaners in shopping centres, hotels and other buildings to minimize human contact and alleviate manpower needs.

“The industry also needs to take greater responsibility in protecting our workers,” said Minister of State for Manpower and National Development Zaqy Mohamad at the Work at Height Symposium held at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College East on 14 Nov 2019.

SINGAPORE’S approach towards Industry 4.0 is “not simply about technology”, said Senior Minister for Trade and Industry Koh Poh Koon on 17 Oct 2019.

At ITAP 2019 (Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC), BBC reported how industrial exoskeletons improved worker's productivity for manufacturing 4.0.
