On-site visits
Help prevent and control the epidemic and help sort garbage
These robots are "witty"
The "skin" is a delicate and difficult to distinguish between true and false simulation robots, "Iron Man" who can drill into the pipeline to inspect, wearable robots that help people complete heavy physical work, service robots that can play tai chi and write brush characters... This morning, the World Robot Conference opened, and a wonderful "Robot Story" was staged in Yizhuang, Beijing. It is reported that the exhibition area of about 52,000 square meters, there will be more than 500 products from more than 110 companies to participate in the exhibition, comprehensive display of robot body, key components and upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and related fields of cutting-edge technology and the latest achievements.
Awesome!
Robots help prevent and control the epidemic
Black and white color matching, round and rolling body shape, robots dedicated to disinfection and sterilization glided flexibly in the exhibition hall. "This killing robot can be spray disinfected above and ultraviolet disinfection below, equipped with 4 groups of ultraviolet sterilization lamps, which is suitable for disinfection and sterilization of large venues and public areas." According to the staff, this killing robot does not need manual operation throughout the process, and can achieve 360-degree disinfection and sterilization without dead angles.
In the corner of the exhibition, a cube-shaped robot is also full of technology, a metal-colored shell, and 6 pulleys at the bottom are used to complete forward, backward, turning and other actions. According to the staff, this is an intelligent logistics robot that can solve the logistics distribution problem at the end of the last 500 meters, "Don't look at its simple appearance, in fact, it has a variety of functions, not only can climb the slope, identify traffic lights, but also take the elevator autonomously, and can also achieve contactless distribution during the epidemic." ”
In addition to disinfection and sterilization, intelligent distribution, robots can also help extract nucleic acids and improve detection efficiency. In the exhibition area of industrial robots, there is a fully automatic nucleic acid extraction workstation that resembles a mobile food truck. The staff clicked on the screen on the side, and the machine began to run, and the upper robotic arm probed into the sample collection device for extraction. According to reports, the motion accuracy of the robot arm is within 0.2 mm, and the motion path can be automatically calculated. Next to the mobile station, there are two small fully automatic nucleic acid extractors, which look like a large microwave oven, but can realize one-stop service for extraction and detection.
convenient!
Artificial intelligence helps garbage sorting
"Xiao Qing Xiao Qing, what kind of garbage is the glass bottle?" "Glass bottles are recyclable garbage." Whenever the artificial intelligence "Xiaoqing" in the garbage station replies to the inquiry, the lid of the corresponding category of garbage can will automatically open in about a second. At the world robot conference site in the morning, the artificial intelligence garbage station is also very "eye-catching".
The reporter saw that this artificial intelligence garbage station has set up a total of four garbage cans for recyclable garbage, hazardous garbage, kitchen waste and other garbage, and there is also a mobile phone battery recycling place under the color screen, and the right side of the garbage station is equipped with a smoke extinguishing place and an induction disinfection machine.
"The artificial intelligence garbage station is a machine that helps people complete their daily garbage classification work in an intelligent way, which is very convenient for both garbage classification managers and ordinary residents." According to the staff, this garbage station is equipped with a voice interaction system, which can not only ask "Xiaoqing" how garbage should be classified, but also ask about weather conditions, nearby attractions and other rich content. At the top of the garbage station, it is also equipped with cameras and anti-mosquito lights, which can facilitate the staff to monitor the garbage delivery situation in real time, and the anti-mosquito lights solve the troubles of mosquitoes and flies in the garbage station.
"Through platform management, this garbage station can achieve comprehensive, perfect and efficient garbage delivery, recycling and utilization, and can also provide data support for the continuous development of the entire garbage classification work, which can be applied in communities, squares, schools, scenic spots, hospitals and other scenarios." The staff said. According to reports, at present, the artificial intelligence garbage station has been applied in many residential areas and science and technology parks in Beijing.
Precision!
Chinese medicine formulations are automated
At the scene of the World Robot Conference, the reporter also saw a smart Chinese medicine room that can accurately grasp Chinese medicine, realize intelligent drug management and pharmacy adjustment automation, two rows of drug storage cabinets with more than one person are erected at a 90-degree angle in the middle of the exhibition hall, and there is a mechanical arm in the middle of the medicine cabinet that can move back and forth to complete the action of grabbing Chinese medicine.
"Traditional Chinese medicine formulas are grasped by hand, weighed by small scales, there will be certain errors, the birth of intelligent Chinese medicine pharmacy can improve the form of Chinese medicine tablets, improve the pharmacy dispensing environment, improve the accuracy and convenience of pharmaceutical dosage, and change the backward status quo of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing relying on manual dispensing." The staff said that a single medicine cabinet can store up to 208 flavors of formula granules, and each medicine cabinet is equipped with AN LED lighting logo, which is highly efficient in taking medicine.
From the collection and storage of drugs back to the transfer link, the dispensing equipment also adopts an integrated design, and the single equipment only covers an area of 1.1 square meters. In the field, the dispensing equipment is like a workbench, the countertop is equipped with a display and a small hole where the agent is placed, which can provide up to six dispensing departments to drop the medicine at the same time. "This intelligent Chinese medicine pharmacy, which integrates functions such as prescription download, particle identification, automatic dispensing, packaging, prescription information printing and prescription inventory management, will play a positive role in promoting the modernization, standardization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine." The staff said that at present, the smart Chinese medicine pharmacy has been applied to hospitals such as the 302 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, and the number of units used has exceeded 12,000.
On the other side of the exhibition area, an octopus-like endoscopic surgical robot attracted many visitors to stop. Doctors only need to operate the main operator on the main console, and they can remotely operate the surgical tools and 3D high-definition electronic endoscopes loaded on the operating platform to complete the minimally invasive surgical treatment of cross-disciplinary and multi-indication.
