The key technology that distinguishes service robots from industrial robots is that they can be autonomously positioned, autonomously routed, and autonomously avoided. The industry generally believes that 2016 is the first year of service robotics, and 2017 is the first year of service robots. Scenario Usage Trending 2017 or the Year of Serving Robotic Channels 2016 was a period of turbulence in the robotics industry, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence, industrial robots, and drones. From AlphaGo victory over Li Shishi in paragraph 9, the United States's 400 million euros acquisition of KUKA, to Dajiang introduced the pocket drone MavicPro, spring and evening show robots Alpha 1S, all kinds of robots into the ordinary people's vision. But for service robots, most people still have knowledge of sweeping robots and desktop companion robots. People expect to see service robots in more scenes. The industry generally believes that 2016 is the first year of service robotics, and 2017 is the first year of service robots. To this end, the reporter specifically interviewed Chen Shikai, founder and CEO of Shanghai Think Technology Co., Ltd., and Shi Shikai told reporters that the robot industry is developing rapidly. To adapt to market changes and meet different needs of users, the company’s business model has been sold from pure hardware products. Gradually changed to meet the needs of user scenarios. Chen Shikai said that the key technology that distinguishes service robots from industrial robots is that they can autonomously locate, autonomously plan routes and autonomously avoid obstacles. The company's self-developed Lidar RPLIDAR is equivalent to the robot's "eye", and the modular chip SLAMWARE is equivalent to the robot's "cerebellum", so that the robot can walk freely, without human control or installation of auxiliary facilities. In addition to providing robot positioning and navigation solutions, in order to meet the needs of different users, they have launched several robot platform products. ZEUS and ZEUS Lite have complete positioning and navigation functions and open software and hardware interfaces. At the same time, they are equipped with multiple sensors. Robot manufacturers can rapidly develop robot products according to actual needs. SDP is a sweeping robot test and evaluation machine with laser navigation function. It only needs to add sweeping module to become a complete sweeping robot product. Manufacturers can quickly evaluate product performance. In November 2016, for scientific research users and technology enthusiasts, Simeon Technology launched two robot evaluation development platforms, SDP 2 and SDP Mini. They provide a complete hardware and software development platform, allowing users to quickly prototype and verify design ideas. At the same time, support for Windows/Linux/Android/iOS development environment provides great convenience for robot research and product development. Talking about future product plans, Chen Shikai revealed to reporters that the company expects to launch an intelligent assistant robot Athena (Chinese name: Athena) in 2017, mainly for business customers and light commercial occasions. The robot's workable scene includes reception, explanation, teleconference, patrol security, etc. Customers can customize according to their own needs so that the robot can truly become a member of the company. In the future, how to drastically reduce the cost of service robots and land them in more and more specific application scenarios will be the key to service robot companies opening up the consumer market. This also means that robots may soon appear in you. by my side.
