What will the future collaborative robot look like?
If the robot has the ability to imitate and learn, what effect will it bring? When a worker demonstrates the operation process in front of a collaborative robot, the robot can learn immediately and start to imitate the worker's work. Does this scene look cool?
The collaborative robot is pneumatically driven and can directly and safely interact with people. The finger is composed of an elastic airbag structure with an air cavity, which is light in weight, good in flexibility, adaptable, and highly sensitive, and can generate great power. Through the proportional piezoelectric valve, finger movement can be precisely controlled.
The collaborative robot uses a reinforcement learning method, which can gradually optimize its actions based on the received feedback until it successfully completes the task. With the help of digital twins created in a virtual environment with the help of depth camera data and artificial intelligence algorithms, the learning of necessary behavior strategies can be completed.
Compared with the previous mechanical grippers, the bionic flexible hand is designed with flexible fingers. Since the flexible manipulator can grip powerfully and sensitively, it can be used as the "third" auxiliary arm for various assembly tasks or as a service robot. This also makes its future use scenarios more abundant.
"For example, one day I received a call from a manufacturer of high-voltage equipment. He said that some of his equipment needs to be manually tested and connected. This is very dangerous. Yes, but if the traditional gripper is not a two-point gripper, or a three-point card gripper, it is not so rich in function and cannot meet the needs of customers. So he proposed an idea whether it can be used Our arm and our bionic hand are used to achieve some of his dangerous operations. I think this is a very good case, which explains a scene of an application field of our collaborative bionic robot in the future: replacing humans in some dangerous environments Some work that must be done manually."
The modular pneumatic light-duty manipulator arm can derive a variety of applications by connecting different grippers. Combined with various adaptive fixtures, the robotic arm can record and process various objects and shapes. Thanks to its flexible dynamic characteristics, it can directly and safely interact with people, and it can also bypass obstacles.
