During peak dining periods, restaurants face problems such as large flow of people and extremely complex and uncertain environment, which places high requirements on the passability and flexibility of food delivery robots. This problem has also become a "stuck neck" problem that the commercial robot industry has been facing, causing the penetration rate of existing food delivery robots to remain low.
In order to optimize the customer experience and traffic efficiency of robots during peak periods in restaurants, Shenzhen Pudu Technology Co., Ltd. pioneered a dynamic real-time laser interaction system for robots and explored the establishment of indoor robot and pedestrian right-of-way scheduling rules.
Commercial robots bring new consumer experience
Commercial robots usually consist of sensors, electronic control systems, actuators, computing equipment and other components. With the development of AI technology and the decline in the cost of core components, the rise of commercial service robots has alleviated the shortage of labor resources caused by the increasing aging of the world and significantly reduced labor costs. For modern enterprises, it is also an important means to form differentiation, which is conducive to improving the differentiation and brand competitiveness between stores. For customers, intelligent robots bring a new consumption experience. While liberating service manpower, customers can enjoy more thoughtful and meticulous services.
Pudu Technology is a "leader" in the field of commercial robots. The delivery robot "Qiaoleshuang" developed and launched by it gives the robot the ability to visualize the walking intention, thereby establishing a "traffic light" mechanism for human-machine passage in indoor delivery scenarios, effectively solving the problem of pedestrians being unable to move due to unclear walking intentions of the robot when passing in the opposite direction. The problem of quickly selecting the optimal path. "We achieve feedback and communication of the robot's driving intentions through the integration of laser projection and multi-modal interaction such as sound, expressions, and lights, and ultimately realize the distribution of right of way between robots and pedestrians." Zhang Tao, founder and CEO of Pudu Technology explain.
Pudu Technology has a number of core technical advantages
Nowadays, commercial robot products are becoming more intelligent and are gradually expanding in fields such as services, medical care, health, and education, showing a trend of vigorous development. As the process of domestic substitution accelerates, more and more companies are beginning to use domestically produced key components, thereby reducing the production costs of robot products, and will eventually achieve complete substitution.
According to reports, in terms of hardware, Pudu Technology has significantly reduced production costs and ensured supply through independent research and development of high-performance core components such as single-line lidar, active binocular depth cameras, servo hub motors, high-performance computing platforms and motion controllers. The chain is smooth and stable. In terms of software algorithms, Purdue Technology has integrated and implemented a variety of technical solutions. To date, the company has submitted a total of 1,398 patent applications worldwide.
It is worth mentioning that for common functions such as obstacle avoidance, path planning, map construction, and semantic recognition, Purdue Technology has adopted the CBB approach and made OS system controls or system-level APPs based on common features. "This is like the most basic functions of taking pictures, video recording, and phone calls in the iOS/Android system. Through the PuduOS operating system, developers can directly use the provided SDK for business development without paying too much attention to the underlying details, thereby reducing the development cycle. and cost, which greatly avoids the phenomenon of 'reinventing the wheel'." Zhang Tao said.
In addition, Pudu Technology has core technical advantages in robot algorithms, software, integrated machine design capabilities, AI, interaction, etc. It is reported that Pudu Robot has a rich product matrix and a wide range of scene coverage. It has been applied in restaurants, hospitals, supermarkets, office buildings, KTV, airports and other scenes. It has cooperated with well-known companies such as Haidilao, BYD, McDonald's, Kone Elevator, Japan Skylark, and Panasonic. Brands reach cooperation.
The commercial robot market has huge potential
According to data from the China Electronics Society, China's robot market is currently in a stable growth stage, with the market size expected to reach 83.9 billion yuan. Between 2016 and 2023, the average growth rate of China's robot market size reached 18.3%, and it is still continuing to grow at a high speed.
According to Zhang Tao, Pudu Technology has built deep technical barriers in the fields of robot positioning and navigation, motion control, multi-machine scheduling, perception and obstacle avoidance. Based on its existing technical foundation and keen insight into commercial cleaning needs, Purdue can apply its robotic technology to a wide range of cleaning scenarios to help the traditional cleaning industry meet the challenges of smart transformation and effectively solve the cleaning problems faced by all walks of life.
In addition to the basic distribution plan, Pudu Technology is currently launching a combination of CC1 cleaning robot and SH1 floor scrubber, which can solve the floor cleaning problems in most scenarios. Business managers using CC1 and SH1 can obtain restaurant cleaning reports on the digital platform to achieve unified management of multiple occasions and multiple devices.
"Take the recent Shenzhen transportation hub Shenzhen Airport and Shenzhen North Railway Station as examples. Our two cleaning products CC1 and SH1 have been used in shopping malls there. SH1 is specially designed for scenes with complex environments and irregular floors, and is very suitable for people like the airport. Used in sites with large traffic and complex environments; CC1 can realize multiple functions such as cleaning, sweeping, pushing and sucking, fully automatic water addition and sewage discharge, autonomous elevator rides, automatic gate crossing, cross-floor operations, etc., whether in airports, office buildings, residences, etc. It has unparalleled advantages."
"The era of commercial robots has just begun." Zhang Tao said, "Purdue Technology is actively extending its product lineage and vigorously developing commercial cleaning scene products while continuing its original delivery robot products. In the future, it will continue to improve the layout of cleaning robots and enrich Cleaning product line."
