Celebrate the season with special savings on the new Aiper Experts Duo and IrriSense 2 at Aiper.com and during the Amazon Big Spring Sale Event
ATLANTA, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring has arrived, making it time to refresh more than just closets and garages. For homeowners, spring is the ideal time to prepare pools and lawns before summer heat and weekend pool parties begin. Opening a pool properly takes more than removing the cover and adding chlorine, and reviving your lawn requires more than turning on last year's sprinkler timer. A thoughtful spring reset now can prevent weeks of cloudy water, equipment damage, overwatering, and wasted time later. To celebrate spring, Aiper is announcing special savings on the new Aiper Experts Duo and award-winning IrriSense 2, along with up to 25% off other Aiper robotic pool cleaners, from March 25 through April 10 on Aiper.com.
To help homeowners start the season strong - Aiper, the world's No. 1 smart robotic pool cleaner brand[1] and leader in smart yard innovation - is sharing expert-backed pool-opening tips alongside smart technology solutions that simplify both pool and lawn care.
Because summer-ready backyards begin in spring. And that starts with opening your pool the right way. Here's a simple, step-by-step approach to get your pool swim-ready:
- Wake Up Your Equipment First. Remove standing water, clear large debris, inspect hoses and O-rings, and prime the pump before turning it on. Record your clean filter pressure, typically 10–15 psi, as your season baseline.
- Handle Cloudy or Green Water Properly. Let flocculant settle overnight and vacuum sludge to Waste. Do not use a robotic cleaner until heavy algae is removed.
- Balance in the Correct Chemical Order. Adjust total alkalinity first, then pH. Aim for 80–120 ppm alkalinity and 7.2–7.4 pH. Check Cyanuric Acid (CYA) levels, shock at dusk, and circulate for 24 hours.
- Bring in Automation After Chemistry Stabilizes. Once water is balanced and debris cleared, for the first use, remove the MicroMesh™ Filter from the Scuba V3 and start cleaning with the fine filter box. After that, use the Aiper Experts Duo – Scuba V3 and EcoSurfer S2 – to remove remaining particles and polish the pool.

Once your pool is properly opened and balanced, maintenance should be effortless. The Aiper Experts Duo delivers hands-free, 360° coverage cleaning by pairing the cognitive AI powered Scuba V3 with the solar-driven EcoSurfer S2. The Scuba V3 strategically plans how to clean your pool using Cognitive AI Navium™ Mode, creating weekly cleaning plans based on pool size, cleaning history, and weather to efficiently clean floors, walls, and waterlines. Meanwhile, the EcoSurfer S2 continuously removes surface debris before it sinks and recharges using SolarSeeker™ technology. Together, they create a seamless 24/7 cleaning system that minimizes upkeep and maximizes swim time.
Spring prep does not stop at the pool. As lawns emerge from the winter cold, smart irrigation becomes essential. The IrriSense 2 is the world's first 4-in-1 multi-zone smart irrigation system that replaces a sprinkler, electrical valve, controller, and nutrient feeder in one easy-to-install unit, ready in about 15 minutes with no trenching or wiring. Powered by Weather-Sense Response technology, it automatically adjusts watering based on real-time conditions, pauses for rain, and adapts during heat waves. With support for up to ten customizable zones and a TÜV certification for reliable water pressure stability, IrriSense 2 can reduce water use by up to 40%, all managed through the Aiper app. To make watering mimic rainfall, Aiper has integrated EvenRain™ technology that gently sprays the watering zones for a more even and efficient irrigation process.

Kick Off Spring and Dive Into Clean: Prep Your Pool and Lawn Now for a Stress-Free Season with Aiper
New research behind the Tripo P series redefines AI 3D generation by modeling geometry natively in spatial space rather than through sequential token prediction.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripo AI today announced $50 million in new funding alongside a new generation of 3D model architectures designed to generate production-ready assets directly within native three-dimensional space.
The funding round, backed by Alibaba and Baidu Ventures, will support continued research into large-scale 3D foundation models and the expansion of the company's global developer platform. As demand grows for scalable 3D asset creation across gaming, robotics, manufacturing, and immersive media, Tripo AI is positioning itself as a foundational infrastructure layer for programmable spatial content.
The company's platform now serves more than 6.5 million creators and 90,000 developers worldwide, with nearly 100 million 3D assets generated to date. Through subscription tools, creator software, and developer APIs, Tripo AI enables studios, platforms, and independent developers to integrate AI-generated 3D content directly into production workflows.
Alongside the funding announcement, Tripo AI revealed new details about the algorithmic foundations behind its latest model series, including Tripo H3.1 and Tripo P1.0. Together, these models represent a structural shift in how AI systems generate three-dimensional geometry.
From Sequence Modeling to Native Spatial Generation
For years, most AI systems generating 3D content have relied on techniques adapted from language models or image generation. These approaches typically convert geometric data into token sequences or lower-dimensional intermediates before reconstructing three-dimensional shapes.
While effective for visual approximation, such methods often struggle to produce assets suitable for real-world production pipelines. Sequential prediction introduces artificial ordering into inherently symmetric spatial data, which can lead to structural inconsistencies, topology instability, and long processing times when generating complex meshes.
Tripo AI's latest research takes a different path: modeling geometry directly within a unified three-dimensional probabilistic space.
Rather than predicting mesh elements one token at a time, the system represents vertices, edges, and polygon faces within a shared spatial feature field. In this framework, geometry and topology evolve globally and coherently, preserving the inherent symmetry of three-dimensional space instead of imposing linear sequence constraints.
According to the company, this architectural redesign aligns more closely with the mathematical nature of spatial data.
"Much of today's generative AI is built around sequences," said Simon Song, Founder and CEO of Tripo AI. "But three-dimensional space is inherently holistic and symmetric. When geometry is forced into a sequence, artificial structure is introduced. Our approach models shapes directly in native spatial space, allowing structure to emerge coherently."
By maintaining global context across the entire object during generation, the system addresses what the company describes as a core representation challenge in AI 3D — the mismatch between spatial data and sequential architectures originally designed for text or images.
Global Topology, Not Local Assembly
One of the key advantages of the new architecture is its ability to generate mesh topology globally rather than incrementally.
Traditional methods often construct meshes step by step, predicting triangles or vertices sequentially. Because each prediction depends on the previous one, small errors can accumulate, leading to broken geometry, missing surfaces, or inconsistent mesh structure.
Tripo AI's system instead models geometry and topology as components of the same probabilistic field. Vertices, edges, and faces are represented within a unified feature space, enabling the model to reason about the entire shape simultaneously.
This global perspective improves structural consistency, particularly for symmetric objects, articulated components, and complex topologies involving holes or nested structures. Rather than treating these as edge cases, the architecture models them as natural variations within a coherent spatial distribution.
Structural Efficiency Through Parallel Spatial Computation
The architectural shift also yields significant computational benefits.
Earlier mesh-generation pipelines often relied on autoregressive prediction, where thousands of mesh elements must be generated sequentially. This can result in generation times measured in minutes for production-quality assets, especially when additional retopology or cleanup steps are required.
By contrast, Tripo AI's spatial probabilistic framework resolves geometry through parallel computation across the entire feature field. Because the model does not depend on artificial causal ordering, it avoids combinatorial overhead associated with sequential prediction.
The company reports that production-ready polygon meshes can now be generated in as little as two seconds — representing up to a 100× improvement compared with earlier mesh-generation workflows.
These gains are supported by a large-scale training dataset of approximately 50 million high-quality 3D assets, one of the largest collections of structured polygon mesh data used for model training in the industry.
Two Model Families for Different Production Needs
Tripo AI's research now supports two complementary model families.
Tripo H3.1 focuses on high-fidelity geometry and visual precision, producing detailed 3D shapes suitable for industrial design, high-resolution 3D printing, and cinematic asset development.
Tripo P1.0 is optimized for real-time graphics and interactive environments. Trained directly on native polygon mesh data, the model generates topology-aware meshes designed for efficiency within game engines, robotics simulation, and XR applications. By bypassing heavy intermediate representations and retopology stages, P1.0 delivers lightweight, engine-ready assets suited for production pipelines.
Together, the two model families address complementary stages of the 3D creation process — from high-detail reference models to lightweight, production-integrated assets.
Toward Spatial AI Infrastructure
Looking ahead, Tripo AI believes native 3D representation will become a foundational layer for future AI systems capable of reasoning about physical environments.
The company is advancing Tripo W1.0, an early-stage world model initiative focused on systems that can simulate and interact with dynamic spatial environments.
"Three-dimensional representation is a fundamental structure of the physical world," Song said. "As AI moves beyond text and images, spatial reasoning will become essential to how machines understand and operate within reality."
By combining large-scale spatial data, native 3D generation architectures, and an expanding developer ecosystem, Tripo AI aims to build programmable infrastructure for digital and physical environments alike.
