Orbbec ends lawn mower robot ODM business after shipping several thousand units
Overview
Orbbec, a 3D vision perception company, decided internally in mid-September to end its lawn mower robot ODM business while keeping its vision module line, according to Leiphone (雷峰网).
The business shipped only several thousand units, below expectations, after Orbbec invested in whole-machine development and won an order from a Shanghai customer.
Leiphone's sources cite new U.S. FCC rules covering advanced robotic devices made overseas, a crowded market, and the lack of a large anchor customer as reasons for the exit.
