Ⅰ. Key equipment to build a smart factory: composite mobile robot

The composite mobile robot similar to the "human" is the key equipment to complete various complex operations and enable the links in the factory to be integrated. But the composite mobile robot industry still faces application problems such as diversified businesses, complex scenarios, multiple systems, and long project cycles. However, endless emerging products can't solve the above problems. The industry is in the dilemma that new problems continue to appear and old problems have not been solved yet.

How to solve the application problem is the most important thing to promote the development of enterprises.

Ⅱ. Mobile Robot (AGV/AMR) Industry Alliance: composite Mobile Robot Special Forum

At the Composite Mobile Robot Special Forum specially organized by the China Mobile Robot (AGV/AMR) Industry Alliance, Liu Yang, the key account manager of SEER Intelligent, gave a keynote speech, "Analysis of Pain Points and Countermeasures of Application of Composite Mobile Robot". Based on the industry, he started from the product, deeply analyzed the current pain points of the application of composite mobile robots, and gave corresponding countermeasures.

1. Diversified businesses, complex scenarios, and difficult productization.

The industry is still in the stage of conceptual exploration and trial, and lacks experiments and attempts in concrete scenarios; semiconductor, 3C, inspection, and other scenarios are complex, and robot hardware scenarios are customized, and it is difficult to form a standard.

2. The structure is complex, the project cycle is long, and the deployment efficiency is not high.

The complex system structure gives rise to more connecting interfaces, lowers the smoothness of system coordination, and leads to low deployment efficiency.

3. Multi-process and multi-system design.

The information flow is not smooth, the production process is discrete, and data is not shared; when a single unit is connected to different systems, information between systems is not smooth.

Ⅲ. Targeted solutions accelerate industry development: solutions help upgrade smart manufacturing

SEER Intelligent provides solutions covering AMR, composite mobile robots, software systems for many industries such as 3C, textile, semiconductor, e-commerce retail, and has a large number of solutions that have been implemented. SEER Intelligent comprehensively integrates the findings in the practice of the cases, and feeds them back to the development of the product, and makes the constant adjustment, strives to polish solutions that are suitable for multiple industries, help customers in various industries to get through the close siege in the market, and realize the advancement of intelligent manufacturing.

1. System construction; Steadily advance productization

Powerful controllers, intelligent vision algorithms, and advanced software systems can solve the application problems of diverse businesses, complex scenarios, and difficult productization.

① The composite robot with the strongest core and organic integration of hardware will definitely appear in various applications as an independent product.

When building a composite robot system, the organic combination of software, algorithms, and hardware is an important trend in the development of composite robots. It can extract common features in many non-standard application scenarios and pave the way for the realization of standardization.

② Intelligent visual algorithms create the core of flexible manufacturing.

Vision AI provides high positioning and pick-and-place redundancy for composite mobile robots, which is the core link of flexible intelligent manufacturing. It can make the whole process more convenient, stable, and precise in both technical and application fields, which opens up space for the application of composite robots. With the deep development of AI technology in the field of robotics, more AI-based robotic products will emerge in the future. With the power of AI, the productization of composite mobile robots will advance to a new stage.

③ Advanced software systems can ensure the rapid implementation of the project.

The software foundation is the guarantee that determines the rapid deployment and implementation of the composite mobile robot. One of the productization problems of the most current composite mobile robots is the poor on-site deployment conditions, low efficiency, and the lack of effective system software to assist on-site personnel. Therefore, in the long run, the software system that works with the composite robot system must develop in the direction to be simpler and more efficient.

SEER Intelligent has invested a lot of energy in this area, unified the robot calibration, teaching, use, and other processes in RoboShop Pro, again reducing the skill requirements of the construction staff, greatly speeding up the on-site implementation progress, and ensuring the overall progress of the project.

2. Higher compatibility, better adaptability

The solution can solve the application problems of complex structure, long implementation period, and low deployment efficiency, realize the rapid implementation of the plan, and reduce the loss of implementation time.

3. Standard interfaces (API) enable all systems and information islands to be integrated

At present, the major manufacturers in the field of composite robots are basically at the same level. Players mainly include three major categories of individual players (their own chassis + own arms), cooperative players (their own chassis + other arms/other chassis + own arms), and integrated players (other chassis + other arms). The advantage of SEER Intelligent lies in its in-depth research of the control, as well as its own exclusive skills: navigation and motion control of the sports chassis. First of all, in terms of the sports chassis, the whole car is guaranteed to be reach the same site every time, laying the foundation for the further operation of the composite robot. At the same time, it can independently research and develop the vision system to escort the visual perception of the arm. And the strong cooperation with the manipulator manufacturers provides strong support on the two largest key technical points of the composite robot.

But we will also face the segmentation of a process in the real environment and the connection of multiple systems. Therefore, in the future, the joint efforts of major manufacturers and customers will be required to form an overall standard for composite robots. At present, integrating multi-level tasks into one system and one-time implementation, such as the task chain of RoboShop Pro of SEER Intelligent, can effectively divide multi-level tasks into sub-tasks, which can be completed in one implementation smoothly.

Furthermore, the control, state, and interaction standards of composite robots are also very important. Especially the development of electrical interface and software communication interface is more urgent. In the aforementioned large industries, composite robots usually need to be connected to other control, display, or interactive systems. A "common language" (API) needs to be agreed upon between various systems, and the situation of information islands will be greatly improved. In addition, the deep research of specific business scenarios is of great help in improving the problem of unsmooth information, and it is helpful to the product iteration of major companies and industries. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to cultivate a group of talents who understand business and grasp skills.
