Taipei, Taiwan – December 7th, 2023 – AVer Information Inc., an award-winning provider of video conferencing solutions, once again received nationwide recognition at the Taiwan Excellence Awards. Today, the AVer CAM570, a unique 4K dual-lens audio tracking camera, is honored with the Silver Award at the Taiwan Excellence Award Ceremony.

AVer CAM570 wins Silver at Taiwan Excellence Awards for its 4K dual-lens audio tracking capabilities and innovative AI features.

AVer Vice President Kings Wang announces: “We are delighted that the CAM570 has risen amongst the tough competition in this year’s Taiwan Excellence Awards, a testament to the efforts AVer has made for audio-visual research, development, and innovation. We will continue to raise our standards and provide our customers with the best audio-visual solutions we can.”

The CAM570 is AVer’s first 4K dual-lens audio tracking camera, incorporating top-level camera specifications. It has a PTZ camera boasting 36X total zoom and an AI lens with a 95° field of view. It utilizes its three pairs of built-in audio sensors that make beamforming possible, receiving human voices from up to 10 meters away. With the touch of a button, audio tracking allows the camera to track the speaker so that meeting attendees can focus on the presentation.

What truly stands out is the exclusive AI technology the device offers. AI functions include Dynamic Detection, which automatically adjusts the camera angle and zoom to capture every meeting participant. The 95° wide-angle AI lens provides a panoramic view of the conference room, detects meeting attendees at all times, and triggers the PTZ camera to automatically frame everyone when needed. Smart Gallery, a function that applies AI technology to frame each participant, presenting everyone equally on-screen in headshot or half-body frames. These features allow a clear view of each participant’s facial expressions and body language, creating an immersive virtual collaboration experience.

In the 32nd year of the Taiwan Excellence Awards, a total of 948 products have been submitted with only 30 products receiving the Gold and Silver Awards.

Trifo Aims to Shake Up Robot Vacuum Market in India with AI Technology

Trifo, a Silicon Valley-based AI home robot company, is set to enter the Indian market with smart robot vacuums outfitted with an AI-powered brain. With plans to introduce its complete product portfolio ranging from entry-level to high-end models, Trifo aims to capture a five per cent market share by next year.

“India is the key focus country for Trifo. In addition to the U.S. and Europe, we have confidence in building a successful user experience in India, providing customers with a wide range of innovative and cutting-edge products,” said Zhe Zhang, Founder and CEO of Trifo.

The home robot market in India is estimated to grow 20-30 times this fiscal year, compared to around 10,000 units sold last year, according to recent market and research reports.

Trifo’s first home robots are smart vacuums that come with a proprietary algorithm promising deeper sensing, perception of the environment, and decision-making capabilities. The company has filed over 100 patent applications for its technologies in software and hardware worldwide.

“Our robots are built to get smarter over time and interact more with future Trifo home robots. For instance, if the robot senses that its users are away, it can adjust the temperature and humidity levels in the room. As we advance, our robot cleaners would serve as an AIoT hub and act as the primary connector between homes, other smart devices and users, whether they are at home or not”, Zhang explained.

Over the next year, the company aims to roll out a comprehensive product portfolio in India to meet different customers’ needs. Aside from the advanced suction power, Trifo home robots boast unique features such as intelligent vision navigation, innovative human-robot interaction, and AI-powered surveillance. At the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this year, Trifo robot was awarded the “CES Editors’ Choice Award” and selected as “The Best Smart Home Tech of CES 2020” by Digital Trends.

Amid concerns around the Covid-19 pandemic, the demand for robot vacuums and other home improvement products has picked up as people face domestic help constraints. Zhang also sees the potential in this fast-growing market as more and more households begin to embrace smart home devices in the country.

Prior to the creation of Trifo, Zhang was co-founder and CEO of PerceptIn, a full-stack visual intelligence company aimed at making scalable hardware/software integrated solutions for autonomous robotics systems. Before PerceptIn, Zhang worked at Magic Leap and Microsoft Research, where he focused on mapping, localization, navigation, and self-recharge solutions for consumer robots.

Trifo has raised a total of $26 million from investors, including Walden International, Matrix Partners, and Samsung Ventures. The raise will fund support for continued hardware and software development on future Trifo AI home robots, global market expansion, and talent acquisition.

Chennai, August 19, 2020 – In support of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Appnext, the largest independent on-device and in-app mobile discovery platform, today announced it is offering its solution free of charge to the health, medical and fitness apps ecosystem globally.

Powered by proprietary AI technology, Appnext’s sophisticated recommendation engine connects apps with users, suggesting the relevant apps to use next, which is essential in these unprecedented times. The lockdowns and more time spent inside have significantly enhanced the need to manage nearly every aspect of life online. With such a rapid shift in consumer behaviour, app discovery has become the key to well-being, staying safe and healthy while keeping in touch with friends and families. Some apps fill the void of human connection, help with fitness, relieve stress, while others enable virtual doctor consultations, online medicine purchases, and at-home medical testing.

Elad Natanson, CEO and Co-Founder, Appnext said: “Mobile devices serve as our daily gateways to everything in life and act as a reflection of our needs. As we are collectively clinging to our mobiles like never before, app discovery is becoming a tremendously important and relevant factor. Allowing mobile users to discover apps and services exactly when needed, intuitively and efficiently, is a basic right. We are committed to supporting app developers on the front lines by accelerating their recommendation channels and more efficiently reaching users that require their services.”

“In this new reality, it’s critical to leverage innovative technology to streamline time-intensive processes so we can focus on reaching users at the moment they need our services, creating the best possible customer experience,” said Iqbal Sandira, Head of Digital Marketing at Klikdokter, an Indonesian-based healthcare provider. “Appnext device-level app discovery and exclusive placements allow us to interact with users exactly when they need us.”

In addition to its exclusively built app discovery platform, the Appnext solution includes full transparency and control over the campaign through a continually updated dashboard, allowing app developers to quickly scale and change activity. “Appnext enables us to choose and experiment with multiple placements and set bids to boost performance,” commented Liana Pranowo Tan, Digital Marketing Manager at Alodokter. “Features like these are essential to optimizing our reach and performance.”
