"The new generation of intelligent mobile robots can understand the environment in depth with the help of deep learning technology and computer vision perception technology, and can navigate through more complex environments through natural navigation, and complete more complex tasks by loading intelligent modules. From a slow tortoise walking around, it has been transformed into a smart rabbit with hands and feet." said Dr. Yang Lei, executive vice president of Qingzhan Institute of Artificial Intelligence.
It can be said that in the process of factory intelligent transformation, mobile robots are also the first batch of hardware equipment to be used in industrial scenes. Earlier, foreign companies such as Amazon and domestic companies such as Alibaba JD have deployed warehousing logistics robots in their own logistics warehouses, mainly for shelf handling.
Behind this development, one of the most fundamental driving factors is the human cost. As mentioned above, the epidemic has had an impact on the global economy in the past three years. In the industrial scenario, the most obvious manifestation is the difficulty of recruitment, shortage of employment, and increased mobility of employees. On the basis of the increase in the original human cost, the management cost is increased again, further reducing the profit space.
Therefore, with the purpose of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, the phenomenon of mobile robots replacing people gradually appears in industrial scenes, especially in the process of automatic assembly line transformation.
Only one point needs to be noted. Because of the complexity and diversification of the scene, the traditional automation scheme has gradually failed to meet the demand of flexible production in the manufacturing industry.
For example, the path planning problem. In the traditional automation scheme, the mobile robot's mobile path is mostly fixed and depends on the magnetic stripe and QR code deployed on the ground. On the one hand, it cannot be flexibly changed, and on the other hand, it has not been formally implemented. Therefore, it is necessary to first transform the infrastructure, which will reduce costs and increase efficiency for manufacturers.
In addition, consumer restructuring, customization, multi-production, scene diversification, industrial upgrading, small batch, multi-batch, fast iteration, and complex transmission line systems all put forward new stringent requirements for mobile robots in traditional automation solutions. Therefore, "flexibility" has become the "new standard" of industrial mobile robots.
In this context, the multi-sensor fusion mode based on laser and visual SLAM, and the intelligent planning of robot clusters have become the mainstream of mobile robot software and hardware technology.
"Pure visual navigation and laser+visual navigation robots have gradually become the mainstream of the new generation of mobile robots." In this context, Yang Lei further added that how robots can quickly and accurately understand the environment through cheap sensor units (vision or laser radar) will be gradually implemented, allowing robots to enter more complex scenes.
