The snake arm is as flexible as a human arm; Mobile robots move around the workshop on command; Industrial cleaning robot automatically cleans dust...... In Shenyang Xinsong Robot Automation Co., LTD. Wisdom Garden production workshop, show in front of the reporter is a magical robot world.
Robots are known as "the pearl at the top of the crown of manufacturing", and their research and development, manufacturing and application are important indicators to measure a country's level of scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing.
From a robot research institute with only 40 employees, Siasun has developed into a large-scale listed robot company with complete product lines. Founded in 2000, Siasun insists on independent research and development, breaks foreign technology monopoly for many times, and uses innovation to build intelligent roads. In 22 years, it has created more than 100 No.1 in the industry, which not only makes robot products more capable and intelligent, It has also become a smart business card for the domestic manufacturing industry.
Constantly meet the needs of modern production
The structure of aircraft parts is complex, and the internal structure cannot be seen clearly during testing. There are huge dangers in testing nuclear plants and cleaning up and burying nuclear waste... For a long time, aircraft parts inspection and troubleshooting, nuclear waste cleaning up has been a worldwide problem.
"These difficulties must be solved because they are needed for production safety in special industries and for the protection of workers' lives and health." Siasun special robot research Institute director Li He said.
Since 2016, Siasun Special Robot Research Institute has started the research and development of the snake arm robot.
Starting from scratch, the R&D team took inspiration from the snake's dexterity and devoted themselves to R&D and production, gradually breaking through several key technologies such as the body structure, motion control and path autonomous planning of the snake arm robot, and successfully developed the first snake arm robot in China, greatly improving the flexibility and adaptability of the robot.
Li He told reporters that the snake arm robot is driven by wire rope traction, with high flexibility and strong spatial adaptability, which can be applied in narrow space and harsh environment. In addition, the serpentine arm has 12 joints, each of which can be moved. The arm is 1-3 meters long and can be operated within reach, greatly improving the efficiency of detection and removal operations.
Last month, another of Siasun's flagship robot products, the XingWeilai Industrial Cleaning Robot, attracted many visitors when it was unveiled at the 2022 Global Industrial Internet Conference.
In the production workshop of Siamatsu Company, the reporter saw the appearance of the robot, which looks like a drum washing machine. Although it looks a little clumsy, its powerful function is amazing.
"Wherever the robot goes, dust, sewage and dirty things disappear immediately, and it can navigate around obstacles and work cooperatively with other robots." Lu Xiangren, vice president of the mobile robot Research Institute of Siasun Company, said that the robot integrates mobile robot control technology, navigation technology, sensing technology and other technologies, effectively solve the traditional industrial field cleaning operations faced with large labor intensity, low intelligence, low production efficiency, especially suitable for intelligent unmanned factories, unmanned warehouse use.
"As long as the market needs, industry needs, no matter how hard it is to research and develop, and strive to meet the needs of modern production in clean factory equipment, intelligent logistics and other aspects." Li He said.
Make robots smarter
In recent years, with the development of mobile Internet, big data and artificial intelligence technology, Chinese manufacturing industry is constantly moving towards automation and intelligence, and robot has become one of the key roles. Siasun Company closely follows the pace of industrial transformation and upgrading, and strives to make robots smarter and more intelligent.
Sun Baolong, executive director of industrial robot technology at Siasun, pointed to a row of red robots and said the robots, named Fire Arc robots, were the latest upgrade to the welding robot, and their biggest feature was that they had a higher "IQ" and could "specialize in many things."
The reporter learned that the welding robot in the past only has the welding function, and the fire arc robot has a variety of functions in one, as long as the change of different tools can be polished, polished, spraying.
"Because it has a sense of force, it can do any task very hard." According to Sun Baolong, Fire Arc robot uses more advanced laser scanning sensors, moment sensors, etc., to give the robot force sense and perception. Because of its higher intelligence, this robot is favored by the majority of users.
Not far from the fire Arc robot, there are several fork mobile robots shuttling back and forth. According to Ma Chi, the robot's research and development engineer, in the past, the fork robot in the workshop transport, to set up identification signs on the ground, the wall, the fork mobile robot "see" to the sign before normal operation. The newly developed forked mobile robot uses 3D navigation technology, terminal recognition technology and other new technologies to find items that need to be delivered. If something needs to be shipped out of place, it will adjust its position and do the same.
"It used to do what it was told to do, but now it can think and do." Ma Chi said the robot can be widely used in new energy, warehousing and logistics and other fields with high environmental requirements and large handling volumes.
Adhere to independent innovation
In the production of a robot, only an engineer needs to input instructions from the installation of parts, handling, detection and storage of finished products, and the rest is completed by the robot independently... In Siasun Company, intelligent production scenes can be seen everywhere, which is supported by a high-quality, cross-field research and development team.
Du Zhenjun, technical executive director of Siasun Company, told reporters that the R&D staff of Siasun Company accounted for more than 75% of the total number of employees, most of these talents are compound talents, they work together, strive to tackle the difficulties, a technical difficulties can be overcome. At present, the company has industrial robot, mobile robot, special robot, cooperative robot, medical service robot five series of more than 100 kinds of products.
In fact, since its establishment, Siasun has been focusing on the national strategy and industrial development needs, constantly strengthening the construction of independent innovation capacity, and always walking on the road of catching up with the world's advanced robot technology.
The reporter learned that, in recent years, China's robot technology level and industrial chain integrity continues to improve, motion control, high-performance servo drive, high precision reducer and other key technologies and components to accelerate breakthroughs, core parts of the trend of localization gradually emerged.
Taking Siasun Company as an example, in the aspect of robot "brain", it has conquered the design technology of intelligent controller with high real-time performance and realized the autonomous and controllable movement of robot. In the aspect of "upper limb" of robot, high precision trajectory planning and control, high reliability design and other technologies have been conquered. In the aspect of robot "sense", the technology of visual servo, collision detection and protection based on two-dimensional/three-dimensional vision has been conquered, and the robot autonomous operation and man-machine cooperation have been realized. In terms of robot collaboration, robot group collaboration is realized...
By continuously developing and optimizing robot control technology and core algorithm, Siasun is striving to keep core technology firmly in its own hands and become an important force supporting the development of the world robot industry.
