Revolutionizing Pool Care with 360° LiDAR Technology
In Barcelona on November 16, 2025, CHASING INNOVATION TECH CO., LTD. unveiled a groundbreaking leap in pool maintenance: the CHASING L1 Ultra, a first-of-its-kind pool-cleaning system that integrates 360° LiDAR sensing with advanced robotics. This ambitious device promises to redefine how pools are cleaned, inspected, and maintained by delivering comprehensive spatial awareness, faster navigation, and deeper cleaning reach than conventional robotic cleaners.
What 360° LiDAR Brings to Pool Cleaning
Traditional pool cleaners rely on limited sensing and pre-programmed paths, which can miss stubborn debris and complex pool geometries. The L1 Ultra uses full-circle LiDAR to map an operating environment in real-time, creating a dynamic, 3D understanding of the pool. This enables precise obstacle avoidance, optimized cleaning paths, and consistent coverage from floor to walls to the waterline. The result is a more thorough clean with less human intervention and reduced re-clean cycles.
Adaptive Pathing for Complex Shapes
From freeform backyard pools to large resort designs, pools come in many shapes and sizes. The 360° LiDAR system feeds data into an onboard processor that continually recalculates routes, ensuring no corner goes untouched. Homeowners benefit from fewer missed spots and a shorter overall cleaning time, while operators of larger facilities gain predictable schedules and improved efficiency.
Performance, Safety, and Efficiency
The L1 Ultra balances aggressive debris removal with gentle handling of pool surfaces. Smart suction and brushing mechanisms are coordinated with LiDAR data to target algae-prone zones and sediment buildup without over-scrubbing delicate tiles. Safety features include collision avoidance, secure ascent/descent routines, and fail-safes that halt operation if the system detects irregularities in water quality or grid conditions.
Energy-Efficient Cleaning Cycles
Energy consumption is a key consideration for daily pool maintenance. By leveraging precise spatial mapping, the L1 Ultra minimizes unnecessary propulsion and over-cleaning, delivering energy-efficient cycles that shorten run times without compromising cleanliness. For property managers, this translates into reduced utility costs and longer intervals between service calls.
Intelligent Diagnostics and Remote Monitoring
Beyond cleaning, the L1 Ultra doubles as a diagnostic tool. Real-time data on pool geometry, cleanliness levels, and wear indicators can be transmitted to a companion app. Technicians and homeowners alike gain proactive insights, enabling timely maintenance, part replacements, and trend analysis over the swimming season.
Implications for the Pool Industry
CHASING’s L1 Ultra arrives at a pivotal moment when consumers demand smarter, more reliable automated pool care. The integration of 360° LiDAR positions CHASING at the forefront of underwater robotics and consumer electronics, signaling a shift toward robotic systems that can handle complex environments with minimal human oversight. The implications extend to professional pools, hotel properties, and residential setups seeking higher cleanliness standards paired with operational savings.
Availability and Next Steps
CHASING announced early access programs and collaborations with select distributors to bring the L1 Ultra to markets around the world. Interested buyers and industry partners should anticipate demonstrations, training resources, and warranty coverage designed to maximize uptime and user satisfaction. As pool owners explore smarter cleaning options, the L1 Ultra offers a glimpse into a future where underwater robots combine precise sensing with intuitive control.
Conclusion: A New Standard in Pool Cleaning
With the CHASING L1 Ultra, 360° LiDAR technology is no longer a feature confined to research labs or automotive applications. It becomes a practical, user-facing capability that dramatically enhances the efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of pool cleaning. In a market eager for smarter, more autonomous solutions, this device sets a powerful benchmark for what modern pool maintenance can—and should—be.
