ROVR Project Progress 2024/09/24
1. Project Basic Information
ROVR is a DePIN project that uses specially designed hardware to collect 3D data from public roads. It aims to create HD maps for ADAS and autonomous driving, as well as to produce large-scale spatial AI training datasets. Furthermore, ROVR simultaneously mirrors the real world into a virtual digital world in real-time, with both worlds fully synchronized. This lays a solid foundation for limitless possibilities in the future.

How to verify the authenticity of the above data: Each ROVR hardware device is required to use GEODNET's RTK service. You are welcome to inquire about the data growth of ROVR through GEODNET.
4. Data Products
4.1 Customer Acquisition Progress
3 LOIs(Letters of Intent) from different data clients
Baidu IDG: ROVR has sent three batches of post-processed data to Baidu IDG for testing.
HD Map from TX device in JP
3D Data include point clouds from LC engineering prototype in JP
Customized 3D data Generation according to Baidu's requirements from Baidu's Data
The client even participated in a tripartite meeting with a VC and ROVR team, where they provided a detailed explanation of the usability of ROVR data and the prospects for future collaboration.
(Baidu IDG “Intelligent Driving Group” is actively engaged in developing autonomous driving technologies, particularly through its Apollo project. Baidu has completed tests covering over 100 million kilometers, in terms of current accomplishments, Baidu's Apollo Go autonomous ride-hailing service has seen substantial growth, providing approximately 899,000 rides in the second quarter of 2024 alone, marking a 26% year-over-year increase. The service has surpassed 7 million cumulative rides. In addition, Baidu is a provider of autonomous driving solutions for numerous multinational OEM car companies, such as BMW, Volvo and Toyota, boasting a large network of OEM customers.)
4.2 Progress on real data mapping
The following is based on the data collected over the past three weeks, specifically focusing on lane line segments created in the HD Map for technical validation

(Data collected by ROVR TX device in M25 Highway, UK)
4. Community Building and Marketing
We participated in Token2049 held in Singapore, where we presented our projects at various side events. Additionally, we showcased our products at an event hosted by Borderless Capital.

The official ROVR Twitter account currently has over 1,000 followers, and the Discord community has 700 members. Please note that these achievements were made within a month.
