Fully Autonomous Street Sweeper Launched in Shenzhen, ChinaA next generation autonomous street sweeper and modular smart rest station have been unveiled in Shenzhen, China, in the city's highly popular Xiangmi Park.The southeastern China city's Xiangmi Park is also called "Citizen Park" because it is one of China's more famous and scenic spots and serves as a popular site ranging from online influencers and people taking a stroll to children and the elderly exercising. Costly daily cleaningShenzhen reports that the high volume of daily visitors enjoying the 424,000 square meter park also create a considerable amount of waste, which is time-consuming and costly to clean. Taoping's solution was selected to help alleviate costly daily cleaning, while providing an attractive, much needed rest station for park patrons to use. According to Taoping, the successful launch serves as a high-profile showcase of the company's next generation of solutions, which it claims will greatly facilitate the transformation of smart sanitation in both public and commercial settings. "Park visitors want stress-free, clean greenspace, which our solution helps provide, while improving many other aspects of the overall experience"The park has become a testing site for placement of one of China's first fully autonomous street sweepers. The machine features collision avoidance, human detection, advanced route guidance and extended battery life. The manufacturer also installed a new smart rest station solution that offers a docking, charging and cover option for the sweeper. This eliminated what was seen as a cost prohibitive need to install a separate charging site. For Xiangmi Park, Taoping said it tailored its intelligent street sweeper and intelligent garbage sorting applications, with multi-functional autonomous cleaning, garbage transfer, overflow detection and more.
