CHASING INNOVATION TECH CO., LTD. has launched the CHASING L1 Ultra, a pool-cleaning system that integrates 360° LiDAR mapping and AI Vision for fully autonomous maintenance.

The L1 Ultra utilizes a 360° LiDAR system to continuously scan and map the pool, creating a real-time digital model with millimeter-level precision. This mapping enables an optimized S-shaped navigation path, ensuring full coverage, minimal blind spots, and collision-free movement across any pool shape, including rectangular, round, freeform, and irregular designs.

Powering its cleaning capabilities is AI Vision, which allows the robot to identify and classify debris, ranging from leaves and sand to micro-particles, while analyzing their size and distribution in real time. The system adapts instantly to these findings, adjusting suction power and movement for precision-targeted cleaning.

The robot features an advanced propulsion system with dual motors and twin pumps, providing up to 148 gallons (560 liters) per minute of suction power. A high-capacity battery allows for up to five hours of continuous operation on preset schedules.

With a built-in altimeter, the L1 Ultra automatically detects elevation changes, such as steps, slopes, and transitions between shallow and deep zones. It can gently reverse at shallow edges to prevent grounding and smoothly climb walls in deeper areas, ensuring uninterrupted, full-coverage cleaning across every contour without manual intervention.

The device is built with marine-grade safety features derived from CHASING’s deep-sea ROV engineering expertise. It includes a multi-layer marine-grade battery protection system with an intelligent Battery Management System (BMS). This includes dual-layer waterproof sealing, automatic power shut-off upon water contact, overcharge and over-discharge protection, overcurrent and short-circuit protection, and high- and low-temperature safeguards for stability and safety.
