With the increasing complexity of internal manufacturing in factories, the need for flexibility in automation equipment is also more urgent. Compared with the single functions of AGV/AMR, collaborative robots, and machine vision, composite mobile robots that combine the characteristics of the three are obviously more Flexibility.
Describe the "composite robot" with a simple industrial scenario:
The AGV car robot is responsible for transporting materials in the factory area; but the AGV cannot remove the materials from the car, which requires a "cobot" on the AGV.
Collaborative robots are lightweight six-axis robotic arms that carry and operate;
In order to identify various irregularities (such as tilt, inversion, overturning, etc.), 3D laser machine vision is required to distinguish;
Of course, it is necessary to let robots do more deep learning to improve their intelligence, and then AI will help.
In short, a compound robot is different from a "humanoid robot", but also has feet (AGV), hands (robot arms), eyes (3D vision), and brains (AI). Composite robots can be quickly deployed in automated factories, computer room data management (storage server data pick-and-place), power inspection, warehouse sorting, automated goods supermarkets, and realize automatic material handling, item loading, and unloading, and material sorting, etc., to better satisfy industry needs.
What are the advantages of the "hand, foot and eye" composite robot?
One: Improve the level of automation in the production process
Composite robots are conducive to improving the degree of automation in the transmission of raw material parts, the loading and unloading of workpieces, and the assembly of machines, thereby improving labor productivity, reducing production costs, and accelerating the pace of industrial production mechanization and automation.
Two: Improve working conditions and avoid personal accidents
Composite robots can partially or completely replace humans to safely complete dangerous operations in harsh environments, greatly improving the working conditions of workers. At the same time, some simple but cumbersome handling work can be replaced by composite robots, which can avoid losses due to human fatigue or negligence.
Three: Flexibility of the production line
After completing one process, the composite robot can proceed to the next process, which has high flexibility. And multiple composite robots are used to form a moving assembly table and processing table, which can form a high
Composite robots have only appeared in recent years, and there are deficiencies in technology, cost, and market awareness. As a result, the application of composite mobile robots has not yet been expanded and is still in its infancy, but on the other hand, it also means that the market is Unexplored, with huge future potential.
In the post-epidemic era, the automation transformation and upgrading of small and medium-sized enterprises have been promoted. As a result, the demand for robots with small and medium loads has increased significantly. Many orders in 3C electronics and other fields have been seized by mobile robot and collaborative robot companies, which is also the main reason for the rapid growth of the two robots. reason.
