SHANGHAI, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Kantar, the globally authoritative brand evaluation institution, unveiled the "2025 Pioneering Global Brand" list. Aiper, the global leader in cordless robotic pool cleaners, became the only awardee in the category for its outstanding performance in yard maintenance equipment. This honor not only solidifies Aiper's leading position in the global market but also highlights how its AI-driven smart yard solutions are redefining outdoor living experiences for households worldwide.
As the pioneer of cordless robotic pool cleaner and a leader in smart yard product solutions, Aiper has consistently focused on its brand mission of "making outdoor living carefree". Since launching its global strategy in 2023, covering markets in North America, Europe, Australia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, Aiper has provided smart cleaning services to over 2 million families, establishing itself as a leading player in the robotic pool cleaning industry. The strategic partnerships with POOLCORP, the world's largest wholesale distributor of swimming pool and related backyard products, and Fluidra, a global leader in the pool industry, have further strengthened Aiper's brand leadership and global distribution network.
Kantar's recognition also acknowledges Aiper's robust capabilities in addressing industry challenges through AI innovation. At IFA 2025 in Germany, Aiper launched its first AI-powered robotic pool cleaner, Scuba V3. The product won multiple awards, including the Chip Highlight IFA 2025, Netzwelt Innovation IFA 2025, and Reviewed Awards IFA 2025. Equipped with a built-in camera and object recognition, Scuba V3 is able to detect and target over 20 different types of pool debris - from fine sand and dirt to sticks, ensuring precise coverage and efficient pool cleaning. Compared to traditional robotic pool cleaners, Scuba V3's AI Vision Cleaning capability significantly enhances cleaning efficiency. Weighing just 7.5 kg and featuring a quick-drain design, it's incredibly easy to handle and operate.
This is not Aiper's first technological breakthrough: from the launch of cordless robotic pool cleaners, to the WavePath™ and WaveLine™ technologies of the second-generation, and to the All-in-one cleaning capability of the third-generation Scuba X1 Pro Max, Aiper has consistently driven industry evolution through technological innovation. The launch of Scuba V3 marks the transition from "mechanized" to "intelligent" pool cleaning. With one-click activation, users can now bid farewell to the tedious work of pool maintenance and enjoy a truly intelligent, carefree, vacation-like lifestyle.
What Aiper has achieved cannot be separated from its "global vision + deep localization" strategy. In view of the varying consumer habits in Europe, America, and Australia, Aiper's local teams conduct in-depth, on-the-ground market research each year, and gather real-world usage scenarios to ensure product design and value delivery are precisely aligned with local user needs.
Aiper's vision extends beyond pools. Leveraging its technological expertise in smart cleaning, Aiper is rapidly expanding into smart yard solutions, including smart irrigation. In 2025, Aiper launched IrriSense - a revolutionary lawn care solution with intelligent, water-efficient irrigation. It can adjust irrigation schedule based on real-time weather data, allowing for significant water conservation and supporting sustainable development through green technology. This product has also won multiple awards, including the CES Innovation Awards 2025 and the IFA 2025 Innovation Honoree Award.
With its "tech aesthetics" as well as "smart and practical functions", Aiper's diverse portfolio of smart yard products has earned numerous awards from top global media outlets and world-renowned design institutions, as well as recognition from millions of users worldwide. In the future, pool and yard equipment will work in synergy to build a fully automated smart yard ecosystem that frees users from mundane maintenance tasks, allowing them to fully enjoy the beauty of nature and spend quality time with loved ones.

News Summary
- Relativity expands its Relativity Academic program with modules around its aiR suite of legal AI solutions, large language models and generative AI to prepare students for modern legal work.
- The program, now in its 14th year, reaches over 3,000 students annually and aims to equip future legal professionals with in-demand AI skills as the industry prioritizes tech-enabled talent.
- Relativity Academic provides free, hands-on experience with real-world legal technology to thousands of students worldwide.
CHICAGO, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced it has expanded Relativity Academic, its program that provides education to law school and paralegal students, with access to the generative AI-powered solutions in its aiR suite. Beginning in June, the Relativity Academic program curriculum will include modules covering large language models, generative AI, and how to use aiR for Review, aiR for Case Strategy, and aiR for Privilege.
"This incorporation of aiR solutions into the Relativity Academic curriculum goes beyond our proven dedication to expanding access to technology. This move is emblematic of our trust and investment in the next generation of legal talent," said Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. "The future of the legal profession is an AI-ready one and we want to further support the legal leaders of tomorrow with the knowledge and skill sets they need to enter the workforce with a bang."
According to the 2025 State of the Legal Industry report from SurePoint Technologies, law firms are increasingly recruiting legal professionals with AI expertise. Further, from 2024 to 2025, the report found that lateral hiring within the specialty of AI grew 68% across all attorney types in Am Law 200 firms, and associate lateral hiring increased by 106%. Relativity recognizes the importance of technology and AI proficiency in the hiring process and its academic program aims to arm students with the type of firsthand experience necessary to differentiate themselves amongst their peers.
"The Relativity Academic Program has been a boon to e-discovery education for over a decade, giving students not just conceptual grounding but genuine hands-on experience with the tools they will use in practice. Now, true to form, Relativity has stepped up to meet the watershed moment that generative AI represents for the profession," said William F. Hamilton, Master Legal Skills Professor at University of Florida Levin College of Law. "Adding aiR into the Academic Program does something essential: it moves students beyond awareness of generative AI into actual engagement with it, learning to interact with the technology, evaluate its outputs, and exercise the judgment that defines good lawyering. That capacity to think critically and judge wisely is the skill that will carry our students, and our profession, into the future."
Since it was established in 2012, the Relativity Academic program has partnered with more than 115 universities, law schools, paralegal and data science programs across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and select Asian and European countries, equipping over 3,000 students in the past year with practical experience using the same technology relied on by corporations, law firms, and government agencies.
Relativity Academic provides law schools, as well as paralegal and data science programs, with a hands-on technology component for their courses and access to a workspace in the AI platform for legal data intelligence, RelativityOne, free of charge. Participating students gain experience with AI-powered legal technology solutions, giving them a valuable foundation prior to graduating and entering the workforce.
Additionally, Relativity Academic delivers training for faculty, hands-on resources, localized curriculum and a community of Relativity professionals. Through the program, now in its 14th year, instructors can design assignments that mirror real-world scenarios, giving students direct experience with document review, issue tagging, workflow management, and case organization.
