On April 26, No. 9 Robot, a robot brand under No. 9 Company, officially released a new product of indoor terminal delivery robot - No. 9 flying saucer delivery robot and No. 9 full meal delivery robot, and the official guidance price of the two robots was from 19999 yuan. At the same time, the No. 9 Robot Mobile Platform (RMP), which is designed for outdoor terminal distribution, inspection, service, special applications and other enterprises or third-party developers, has also reappeared, and will mainly face outdoor smart mobile scenarios.
According to reports, the Ninth UFO and the Ninth Full are equipped with a number of international leading core technologies independently developed by the Ninth Robot. For example, the newly upgraded VILO-SLAM 2.0 navigation system (a multi-sensor navigation system based on vision) allows the robot to not only recognize two-dimensional or three-dimensional structures during navigation, but also to see more details and textures, so that the robot can accurately identify differences in similar scenes during the navigation process, greatly improve the perception of the environment, and ensure the stability of the robot's navigation during the delivery process.
"We have obtained order data from million-level businesses through the No. 9 Sugar Cube Robot, analyzed these data, and extracted the core functions and technical routes that are most suitable for the hotel scene." The product director of No. 9 Commercial Robot told Titanium Media App that coupled with the hardware design and manufacturing experience of No. 9 and the research and development of robot AI technology for up to eight years, the robot of the Ninth Flying Saucer was finally created.
Among them, the No. 9 flying saucer feeding robot adopts the "front-drive" chassis design, so that the robot has good passability in the face of elevators, gates and other scenes. At the same time, the robot can achieve excellent kinesthetic ability of 20mm obstacle crossing, 80mm trench crossing, and climbing below 8 degrees.
In terms of endurance, compared with the industry's common 8-hour endurance, the ninth flying saucer can have a battery life of up to 24 hours, making the robot's single charge delivery time longer and more efficient. In the product design of the No. 9 flying saucer, the box design of single box grid 32L is adopted, which can easily carry standard 2-4 people takeaway meals at a single time.
No. 9 full is mainly for the restaurant scene to create the ultimate delivery experience of the robot product, the use of square disc and disc replaceable configuration, the disc is more compact and flexible, has a stronger passability, through the 60cm channel, suitable for more complex distribution environments; the square disc bearer is stronger, can bear up to 30kg, suitable for scenes with single multi-load demand.
In addition, as the core underlying technology of the motion robot, the No. 9 Robot Mobile Platform (RMP) itself has great advantages over the entire industry in terms of lightness, malleability, passability and load capacity. Taking the No. 9 robot mobile platform RMP Pro 401 as an example, the nominal load is 60kg, but the actual load can reach 80kg. Not only that, but by merging with the perception technology ability and decision-making technology ability of the company's robot AIOT, it is possible to achieve low-speed autonomous driving under restricted road conditions (similar to the function of partial automatic driving of cars at L2 and L3 levels).
At present, the No. 9 Robot Mobile Platform (RMP) mainly includes Lite220, Lite 401, PRO 401, PLUS 401 and other series of products. In 2021, No. 9 Robot reached a cooperation order for thousands of robot mobile platform RMP with a number of U.S. outdoor delivery robot companies.
