Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

According to a report on August 18, today, the 2022 World Robotics Congress kicked off in Yizhuang, Beijing. the rainy weather did not stop people from attending the conference, and the pavilion was crowded with people.

Reporters from Zhi East and West spent a busy day at the exhibition, shuttling between booths and communicating with a number of people related to robot enterprises to bring fresh reports on the exhibition.

This World Robotics Congress is full of bright spots: the humanoid robot in the shape of "Einstein" shakes its head, the humanoid robot in the shape of "Teresa Teng" sings live, and 130 robot dogs "array" in tiger hats. The appearance and swimming posture of the underwater robot are like real fish.

In addition, we also see many robots that are closely related to our lives, such as intelligent nucleic acid testing robots, eliminate virus robots, and catering robots that are quite skilled in making pancake fruit. there are also massage robots that recreate "master" massage techniques.

Medical robot is one of the highlights of this exhibition. Winter Olympic athletes carry out rehabilitation training to restore their walking ability by wearing exoskeleton robot products. All kinds of surgical robots enter the operating table and become an important helper for doctors to achieve precise operation and improve the efficiency and quality of surgery.

Robots facing commercial and agricultural scenes have also appeared one after another: distribution robots that can improve sorting and transportation efficiency, intelligent retail vehicles, 3D sorting robots and other products, and picking robots that can pick apples. and robots that can vaccinate pigs' buttocks.

Since 2015, the World Robotics Congress has been held to the seventh. The exhibition site is crowded, much more lively than last year, and it seems that the impact of the epidemic has gradually dissipated. It is reported that this year's exhibition attracted more than 130 enterprises, universities and scientific research institutions around the world, displaying more than 500 products, and the number of new products released increased from 20 last year to 36 this year.

Next, I'll take you to see it.

01. In the past few days, the bionic robot industry seems to be particularly lively, with the humanoid robot "Tieda" launched by Xiaomi a week ago and Tesla's humanoid robot "Tesla Bot" to be launched at the end of September.

And Tencent launched this month's Max second-generation robot dog can fancy through the 10-meter plum blossom pile, front somersault, single pile jump is no problem. It can be seen that the field of bionic robot has become the focus of the major science and technology enterprises.

Although these products did not come to this robot conference, but the bright humanoid robot, robot dog, robot fish and so on also became a big bright spot at the conference.

1. Teresa Teng and Einstein were "reborn" at the scene.

Entering the preface hall of the World Robotics Congress venue, the first thing that caught sight was the humanoid robot of Dalian Ties, as well as the humanoid robot in the form of Teresa Teng and Einstein. According to the staff of the booth, the purpose of this exhibition of these different forms of humanoid robot is to present the core technology of the robot, such as high-precision control system.

At the exhibition site, a humanoid robot shaped like Teresa Teng also "sang" a number of classic golden songs.

Looking to the right of the Tiais exhibition hall in Dalian, there is a half-body robot. If you look closely, you will find that it is more than 90% similar to the face of the engineer next to it. The intelligent thing learned that the face of the robot copied the image of the engineer, captured the human expression through the lens, and then converted the expression information into the robot's parameters, so that the engineer could control the robot. It can be seen that this upper-body robot can do it no matter how to rotate the head, snap the mouth and so on.

Dalian Tiais's bionic humanoid robot has more than 140degrees of freedom at most. It is equipped with its independently developed ROS operating system for multi-motor cooperative control of humanoid robots, coupled with the torso and limbs controlled by dozens of flexible actuators, which makes these robots more realistic in action and expression.

At present, the company has also combined humanoid robot and meta-universe technology to create "EX Future Science and Technology Museum" and other projects, which have been landed in many cities in China.

2. Many kinds of robot dogs compete with each other

Another highlight of the exhibition is the "array" of Yushu's 130th GO 1 robotic dogs, who wear tiger-head-style hats on their heads and perform on a nearly 1000-square-meter venue. Standing on the booth, while they jump and turn around, I can feel the earthquake on the ground is very strong.

It is understood that the GO 1 robot dog group control show is the largest quadruped robot show in the history of Yushu Technology. Earlier, at the 2022 opening ceremony, Yushu Technology asked 109 GO 1 robot dogs to display the words "Winter Olympic Games".

Yushu Technology also exhibited another big thing, that is, the B1 robot dog, which is mainly for the industrial field, can carry out security patrols, exploration and testing.

The quadruped robots of China Electric Power Division have two series of "Longji" and "Tiger Ben". The fuselage and legs of these two quadruped robots are designed in an integrated way, and they can build a 3D point cloud map of the environment through the visual perception module. complete target detection and target tracking.

Its main application scenarios are urbanization intelligent security, industrial intelligent inspection and autonomous disaster rescue and so on. According to the staff, the next generation of Longfu's products will also be released this year.

3. Swimming in the water is also lifelike.

The GSY-3 underwater intelligent bionic robot developed by aerospace industry is mainly used for popular science education. at the exhibition, I saw the underwater intelligent bionic robot based on finless porpoise. It has two orders of magnitude of 1.2m and 0.5m, and the continuous working time is 8h and 4h respectively.

When I saw the big guy swimming freely in the water, I couldn't help but marvel that his movement posture was very similar to that of a real fish, and the children watching him screamed again and again.

02. At a time when the 30-second nucleic acid collection eliminate virus robot has become a "beating worker" epidemic, nucleic acid has proved to be a necessity for our travel, but have you ever been distressed by long queues and short opening hours? Now all these problems can be solved.

This depends on an intelligent nucleic acid detection robot that can work 24 hours a day. According to personal experiments and staff, the robotic nucleic acid sampling time launched in this exhibition is about 15 to 40 seconds, so that it can not only ensure the safety of medical staff, but also provide services throughout the day.

When I walked into the exhibition hall of China Science and Technology Xinsong, an intelligent nucleic acid detection robot came into view. I held my mouth and stood in the nucleic acid detection window, where the robotic arm would prepare the nucleic acid and then carry out the nucleic acid test according to the instructions.

The robot's cotton swab is very meticulous in the nucleic acid test, will stay on the left and right side of my mouth for a few seconds, the total test time will reach 30 to 40 seconds. According to staff, this intelligent nucleic acid detection robot came in handy during the epidemic in Shanghai in the first half of this year.

Not far away, I saw the second nucleic acid detection robot, an intelligent pharynx swab collection robot developed by the aerospace industry, which can automatically peel and grab pharynx swabs.

I also tried this intelligent pharynx swab collection robot. I need to swipe my ID card at the lower right of the robot, and my identity information will appear at the top of the screen. in addition, the collecting arm grabs the pharynx swab and extends it to the front window. After I have finished the preparation work according to the video instructions, I press the left start button to start the collection. The whole process takes faster time than Zhongke Xinsong's intelligent nucleic acid detection robot.

Yuanhua Intelligence also exhibited their intelligent nucleic acid detection robot. According to the staff, the nucleic acid detection robot is characterized by the identification of human witnesses. In order to prevent the occurrence of some people being tested, the smart robot will check the face and documents before starting the detection.

However, when I went there, the robot was not yet open for trial.

Eliminate virus robots, which are closely related to nucleic acid testing, can also be seen everywhere in the venues.

From Hall A to Hall B, the first thing I saw was Lobid's eliminate virus robot, spraying disinfectant while patrolling the site. It sprayed the foggy liquid left in the air. I didn't smell any special, pungent smell after passing by.

Unlike the eliminate virus robot developed by Lobid, the eliminate virus robot developed by Optimus has a cylindrical body with several small openings spraying disinfectant on the top. according to the staff, the eliminate virus robot works for an hour. it will consume about 500 thousand milliliters of disinfectant.

However, there are many kinds of disinfectants to choose from, such as 84 disinfectants.

03. Pancake fruit a set of comfortable massage for me, a delicious pancake fruit in the morning is probably the happiest thing. Now, a robot can do it.

Jiubing AI Catering launched the first catering robot, can independently complete the production of pancakes, according to customer needs to choose whether to add coriander, chopped onions, etc., but also can automatically fold cakes, packaging, to achieve the automation of the whole process.

The wise thing learned that this Jiubing pancake fruit robot can spread about 400 pieces a day.

In addition, the company also integrates all AI restaurants in the cloud, through AI distributed brain and cloud super brain collaborative analysis, and then uploads daily operation data to the cloud for collaborative analysis, so that the robot can be deeply customized according to the habits of customers.

After eating pancakes, who doesn't want to have a comfortable massage after coming home from work?

This large healthy massage robot comes from Ruirman Intelligence, which generates massage tracks based on infrared thermal imaging intelligence, and then works with flexible force control and automatic temperature control of the manipulator to reproduce "master" massage techniques.

The massage robot can also be used with essential oils, so I was eager to give it a try, but unfortunately this exhibit was not open to experience at that time.

04. At this exhibition, there are more exhibitors of rehabilitation robots to help torchbearers deliver torches. At present, rehabilitation robots in China are in a period of rapid development. The popularization and promotion of the concept of rehabilitation in China is accelerating, and enterprises in this field are also moving from research and development to commercialization.

Walking through the aisle of the exhibition, I found an athlete wearing an exoskeleton walking all over his body. It is understood that this is the exoskeleton robot product launched by Daai Robot. According to the staff, the exoskeleton product of Daai Robot was selected as the torch relay and torch collection representative of the 2022 Winter Paralympic Games to help athletes complete the torch relay. Its exoskeleton core technology is self-developed.

In addition, Daai Robot has also launched four series of exoskeleton robots for different training periods and different ages, namely, Ai Zhi, Ai Kang, Ai Tong and Xiao Ai Kang, which can help people with different symptoms and ages receive rehabilitation training.

In the SRT software robot exhibition area, I found a device that is constantly grasping tennis like a glove. This is the hand active and passive movement rehabilitation training device launched by the SRT software robot, which can help patients such as stroke carry out rehabilitation training. By simulating the kinematic mechanism of the human body, it can help the human hand to achieve natural flexion, and can also extend in reverse, making it more helpful for patients to carry out rehabilitation training.

According to the staff, at present, they have two products for medical and household use, the price of household products is between 1600 and 2000 yuan, and the price of medical products is about 120000 yuan.

05. Can surgical robots surpass manual operation? In addition to rehabilitation robots, surgical robot exhibitors also occupy one side of the pavilion, while the number of robots in medical, health and other fields has increased significantly, which is also related to the normalization of the epidemic to a certain extent.

Different from other robots, surgical robots are often composed of multiple parts, including a robotic arm device to operate the operation, a display device to help doctors see the images in the patient's body, and some footsteps, which are the key to ensuring that the surgical robot can complete the work better and faster. I have seen a variety of surgical robots covering surgery, joint surgery, orthopaedic surgery, puncture surgery, endoscopic surgery and so on.

Among them, the surgery system of Condo robot is composed of patient operation platform, image trolley and doctor console, and the end of the robot arm is equipped with 3D high-definition endoscope and other surgical instruments. During the operation, the system can enlarge the image more than 10 times, so that the doctor can see the internal anatomy of the patient more clearly. It also has a master manipulator with seven degrees of freedom, which can truly simulate the position and posture of the doctor's hand.

Tianji orthopedic surgery robot launched by Tianzhihang also contains devices similar to Condo robots, including robotic arms, surgical screens, pedals, etc., with the blessing of these devices, doctors can even improve the efficiency of surgery by 30%.

Focusing on meta-intelligence in the field of orthopedic surgery-assisted robot, the exhibit includes its bone-saint knee surgery robot, which weighs about 150kg and has seven degrees of freedom. In addition, in the surgery screen interface, there is a 335Hz binocular camera. In order to make the robot more stable, the robot also uses an adaptive balanced chassis.

According to the staff, compared with traditional surgery, the accuracy of robot-assisted TKA osteotomy will be better, and after robot-assisted TKA training is mature, the average osteotomy time is only 7 minutes, while the average time of traditional manual TKA osteotomy is 14 minutes, which is fully reduced by half.

You must be most concerned about safety when you see these behemoths. After all, compared with doctors, machines will greatly reduce the intimacy and trust of patients. Therefore, in order to ensure that the patient's soft tissue will not be harmed during the operation, the robot also has the function of intelligent automatic power outage.

Shanghai minimally invasive robot has developed an intelligent puncture robot positioning system Mona Lisa, which needs to be used in conjunction with ultrasound equipment, rectal probe and puncture gun to help urologists complete puncture under the guidance of rectal ultrasound. The advantage of this system is that it uses a 7-degree-of-freedom positioning structure, which can help doctors locate quickly.

It is worth mentioning that this intelligent puncture robot positioning system will leave only two puncture holes in patients, and the probability of postoperative complications will be reduced.

Shu Rui is a company specializing in endoscopic surgery robot. its surgery robot is composed of a main control trolley and an operation trolley, which can enlarge the field of vision for doctors during the operation and act as a "magnifying glass" for doctors. and the single-hole robot can also bring minimal trauma to patients, far exceeding the limit of manual operation in terms of fineness.

At present, the company's products have been used in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the second affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.

The knee joint surgery robot developed by Hehua is suitable for total knee replacement surgery. according to staff, the Hehua knee joint surgery robot has entered 25 third-class hospitals and completed more than 700 operations. In the medical field, knee surgery is still very difficult, he said.

06. JD.com "red" + Meituan "yellow" distribution robot players huddled together. Now we can see the distribution robot in restaurants and hotels. Whether it is the national chain of hot pot restaurants, street restaurants, or you go out to stay in the hotel, shopping malls, you can see a variety of distribution robots.

In the pavilion, JD.com 's "red" and Meituan's "yellow" are very eye-catching.

The Sirius shuttle vehicle developed by JD.com is mainly aimed at factories with higher shelves like Ikea. According to the staff, its hardware is mainly shuttle car, hoist, workstation, shelf and so on, while the software integrates WMS, WCS and Scada systems.

On the ground, this is the world of the Wolf Shuttle. This is an unmanned handling intelligent robot product independently developed by JD.com, which can achieve high-speed running speed and millimeter positioning accuracy through two-dimensional code navigation and using high-precision servo control algorithm.

In addition, outdoors, JD.com Logistics has also developed intelligent express vehicles and intelligent retail vehicles, which can provide customers with "through-train" services.

The staff also said that the six industry solutions of the integrated supply chain provided by JD.com Logistics can provide customized services for customers in different industries, from production, manufacturing, transportation to sales.

Meituan's 3D sorting robots, automatic distribution vehicles, intelligent airdrop cabinets and drones were all unveiled at the exhibition.

On one platform, the Meituan 3D sorting robot is working step by step, and the staff places the goods on its platform, and the yellow robot will deliver the goods along the route and finally put them in a designated location. The children nearby interfered with the placement of goods, but also did not disrupt the rhythm of Meituan's 3D sorting robot.

In addition, Jinglang, which specializes in the field of distribution robots, has turned its goal to the medical field after the layout of catering and hotels, and they have developed a solution for the whole hospital logistics system of intelligent medical treatment. for the hospital's central pharmacy, laboratory, operating room, disinfection and supply center logistics, logistics materials logistics, sewage material logistics and other solutions, according to the characteristics of different scenes. Equipped with identity authentication, the whole process traceability and other functions.

A full range of products such as reception service robot, intelligent delivery container robot, small delivery robot, luxury distribution robot, eliminate virus robot and food delivery robot developed by Lobid also appeared at the exhibition. According to the staff, at present, their products have entered the practical application of Vienna International Hotel, Jinjiang International and other enterprises.

07. Picking apples, spraying pesticides and vaccinating pigs the exhibition's new "Robot + Agriculture" has also earned a lot of attention.

In the busy season, picking agricultural products is a very important work, and it is also very tiring, requiring people to repeat their work until the harvest is completed.

Therefore, in order to liberate people's hands, so that people no longer need to spend a lot of time and energy to complete repetitive work, robot companies have developed a series of products that can pick apples and kiwifruit.

Wuniu Intelligence, an agricultural robot developer, displays a picking robot that can pick apples. After the robotic arm grabs the apples, it puts it in the basket below and finishes picking.

In addition, their products include unmanned orchard management machines, unmanned high-gap sprayers, agricultural picking robots and intelligent agricultural management cloud platforms. According to staff, their product layout basically covers the whole process of agricultural sowing to harvesting.

I've also seen robots that vaccinate pigs, but you may be like me, just seeing the demonstration doesn't immediately make you think it's vaccination.

Agricultural drones of Jifei Technology are also unveiled at the exhibition, and the application scenarios of these robots will continue to expand with the acceleration of the process of intelligent agriculture.

08. Conclusion: robot practicality is widely expected. After visiting the World Robotics Exhibition, I found that the most people in this exhibition are students and children, who have a very high degree of attention and enthusiasm for robots, whether it is the exhibition area or the competition area. you can hear their heated discussion about robots.

From the perspective of products, bionic robots are still popular in the exhibition, and there are always many onlookers in front of the booths of humanoid robots and robot dogs. Coupled with the recent launch of Xiaomi's humanoid robot and Musk's warm-up, this category of humanoid robot is also more anticipated.

However, from the changes in the World Robotics Congress in recent years, we can see that there are more and more practical robots, such as meal delivery robots, delivery robots, surgical robots, rehabilitation robots and so on. as well as the emergence of new categories such as picking robots, sowing robots and injection vaccine robots, it is also proved that practicality has become more important for robot manufacturers.

In addition, with the normalization of the epidemic, there are more and more applications of nucleic acid and eliminate virus robots, people pay more and more attention to health and hygiene, and pay more and more attention to medical treatment, pension and disability assistance.

On the whole, the domestic robot market is still in the stage of rapid growth, at the same time in different application scenarios, the market is more and more subdivided. /
