Edison Awards™ 2025

3 April 2025

At the Edison Awards™ 2025 held on 2-3 April 2025 in the United States, LSCM was proud to receive one Gold Award and one Silver Award with two of its latest technologies, which is another remarkable achievement of the centre this year.

Gold Award: Robo-9 with Multi-Sensor Technologies for the Visually Impaired

To enhance mobility of the visually impaired, LSCM has developed the cost-effective Robo-9 which simulates the important functionalities provided by guide dogs, including obstacle avoidance and walking guidance.

Robo-9 is equipped with navigation and locationing functions which can provide walking guidance to the user. And SLAM technology is deployed to provide orientation and navigation information to the user to enable him/her to walk freely or arrive at the target destination.

Silver Award: XRCC – Extended Reality Content Creation Suite

XRCC is an innovative extended reality (XR) creation software, featuring an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, an expanding universe of assets, and a sophisticated visual programming system, enabling users to create dynamic and interactive XR experiences with ease.

With multiplayer support and cross-platform functionality, XRCC supports the integration of external hardware/software systems, platform APIs, and AI services. It is ideal for training, simulations and experiential learning.
