Pouring sauce and pancakes, topping on demand, automatic burritos... At the 23rd China International Industry Fair, the reporter found a "pancake fruit robot", as long as you scan the code to place an order, whether you want to add ham or crispy, it can make a hot pancake fruit according to your needs.
This is somewhat similar to the coffee robot that the public is relatively familiar with before.
It is understood that this is composed of Aelite EC66 collaborative robot, the world's first bionic fully automatic intelligent catering collaborative robot workstation.
Based on video recognition technology, deep learning technology, collaborative robotic arm and a variety of precision mechanical structures, it simulates manual operation, and then relies on multi-sensor and camera assistance to analyze the robot's running trajectory.
In addition to the "Pancake Fruit Robot", Elite expanded the product matrix for subdivided applications, and also displayed 16 application workstations, with the help of easy-to-understand and concrete scene expression, allowing visitors to enter collaborative robots and understand their application in diverse segments.
For example, this "basketball robot" is actually the Elite CS66 external TCP gluing workstation, through the collaborative robot with fixed glue gun, can make the robotic arm complete the trajectory operation according to the specified requirements, suitable for automotive, 3C, new energy, home appliances, logistics, chemical energy industry.
There is also an "orange robot", which is actually the Elite EA66 collaborative robot with SRT soft claws, which does not need to be pre-adjusted according to the precise size and shape of the object, and can complete the grasping task, especially suitable for grasping flexible and vulnerable objects, getting rid of the constraints of the traditional production line on the uniform size of the production object and accurate placement position.
The so-called collaborative robot, simply put, is to assist production line workers to complete production together, compared with industrial robots, collaborative robots have the characteristics of smaller working radius and safer and more accurate work.
Based on this, Lu Hanchen, director of the Institute of Advanced Robotics Enterprises, believes that in the second half of collaborative robots, the application boundary is expected to be further expanded, and cost, efficiency, and product power will become the three key words.
In fact, collaborative robot companies represented by Elite have laid out this. In July this year, Elite released the collaborative robot product EA series, focusing on universal and universal use.
Elite said that collaborative robots were more used in industrial fields represented by machining, auto parts, and 3C in the past, and in the future, they can play a more far-reaching role in service fields such as home scenarios, intelligent charging, and medical care.
For this year's hot large model, Lu Hanchen believes that compared with the service scene, the current combination of large model and robot in industrial scenarios is relatively limited, which can be said to be "doing something and not doing something".
So, what can a large model + robot do? Lu Hanchen gave some examples, such as predictive maintenance of machines through big data extraction of failure features; Through the large model, the running trajectory and operation mode of the robot can be continuously optimized; In terms of human-computer interaction, the modularity that can be completed through large models can be eliminated, getting rid of the cumbersome need to rewrite code for a single scene in the past.
Elite also said in an interview with reporters that the large language model can further solve the process problem of unstructured scenes, but the two are still loosely coupled. "In response to this situation, we continue to optimize secondary development or software interfaces to provide more intelligent execution means for large language models by providing richer, real-time interfaces."
According to the "2023 China Collaborative Robot Industry Insight Report", with the deep integration of cutting-edge technologies such as brain-like science, machine vision, and flexible technology with robots, collaborative robots will continue to carry out intelligent upgrades at the levels of intelligent perception, autonomous cognition, and decision-making execution, and become the hub of digital and intelligent transformation of traditional manufacturing enterprises.
Elite said that in the future, it is expected to mine the value of data through a large number of training data and model configuration, reach and empower commercial scenarios such as unmanned pickup, contactless meal matching, assisted surgery, rehabilitation training, and epidemic prevention and quarantine, improve the communication efficiency between humans and machines, and accelerate the landing of more commercial scenarios.
