JHCTECH KMDA-3306: The "Most Powerful Digital Brain" for Unmanned Cleaning Vehicles

With China’s unmanned cleaning vehicle market poised for explosive growth in 2025, the industry is shifting from “pilot exploration” to “large-scale deployment.” Driven by an aging population, proven economic viability, and favorable policy support, unmanned cleaning vehicles are becoming standard equipment for smart cities and campus operations.

In this wave, the JHCTECH KMDA-3306 edge computing box PC serves as a true plug-and-play “brain” for mobile robots. Designed from the chip level to interface definition, it perfectly meets the demands of automotive-grade environments, sensor integration, and power efficiency—enabling unmanned cleaning vehicles to achieve true intelligent driving + intelligent operation.

Below, we will conduct an in-depth adaptation analysis based on the specific parameters of the unmanned cleaning vehicles 👇

Core Advantage: A "Digital Brain" Tailor-Made for Unmanned Cleaning Vehicles

1️⃣ AI Computing Power Precisely Matches Visual Perception Needs

• As a 6-in-1 multifunctional unmanned cleaning vehicle, the system must process data from multiple cameras in real time to support complex tasks such as waste detection, pedestrian avoidance, and path planning.
• KMDA-3306 Computing Performance: Equipped with an integrated Intel® AI Boost NPU and iGPU, the KMDA-3306 delivers up to 24 TOPS of on-device AI computing power. It efficiently runs neural network models for waste detection and pedestrian avoidance, while offloading AI workloads to free up CPU resources for control algorithms.

2️⃣ Fully Compatible Interfaces for Unmanned Cleaning Vehicle Sensors

The unmanned cleaning vehicle like a mobile "sensor cluster," and the KMDA-3306 provides rich interface support:

• Chassis Control: Provides 2 CAN bus channels, which can directly connect to the unmanned cleaningvehicle's chassis drive system (dual-wheel differential) to take over forward/reverse/steering commands.
• Cleaning mechanism: 16-channel isolated DIO can directly control the brush lifting, fan start/stop, water suction motor and other cleaning actuators.
• Navigation Sensors: 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports connect to LiDAR and high-precision navigation radar; 6 USB ports connect to vision cameras; 6 serial ports connect to GNSS navigators or IMU inertial navigation systems.

One device handles the access and control of all sensors and actuators.

3️⃣ I Industrial-Grade Reliability Across the Full Vehicle Operating Envelope

Unmanned cleaning vehicles often operate in complex outdoor environments, requiring extremely high controller stability:

• Power supply compatibility: Supports DC 9-36V wide voltage input, capable of withstanding voltage fluctuations during startup of the unmanned cleaning vehicle's 100~200Ah lead-acid battery system.
• Environmental adaptability: Operating temperature range of -20℃ to 70℃ fully covers the unmanned cleaning vehicle's operating range of -10℃ to 50℃.
• Vibration-resistant design: All-metal body + shock-absorbing foot pads, resistant to bumpy roads.

4️⃣ Compact Size, Easy Integration

Size matching: The KMDA-3306 is only 190×118×70mm in size, which can be easily installed in the control box of an unmanned cleaning vehicle (1.0 meter long), saving space and making integration convenient.
