At present, the service robot market is developing in the direction of intelligence, diversification and popularization. With the decrease of cost and the improvement of intelligence, the service robot in future life will surely shine brilliantly. Service robots have been ubiquitous at the recent Winter Olympics, demonstrating the glamour of technology and hinting at a new outlet.
From robots carrying the Olympic torch underwater for the first time, to robots patrolling the Olympic Village, to fully automated smart restaurants, the Olympic Games will be held in Beijing. Robots are showing their charm to the world.
Of course, more close to life and "rush" in the first line of guidance robot, delivery robot, logistics robot, cooking robot, food delivery robot, patrol robot, cashier robot and so on, they are everywhere, to provide convenience for the Winter Olympics.
To help the Winter Olympics epidemic prevention
The inspection robot for the Beijing Winter Olympics is a multi-functional device that can patrol public space, detect and warn masks, measure temperature by thermal infrared, and disinfect hands. When patrolling, it can monitor masks and alert those who do not wear masks within 5 meters. The disinfection equipment on the head of the robot has infrared sensing function and can automatically spray disinfectant.
In fact, service robots are doing much more than that at the Winter Olympics. At the entrance of each venue, athletes can quickly complete eight steps including identity identification, intelligent temperature measurement, Healthbao, national health code, nucleic acid test, vaccination, public security network and electronic registration without removing masks. The temperature difference measured by the equipment can be controlled within 0.2℃.
To ensure safety, special robots have been deployed to clean and disinfect spectator areas, media work areas, staff areas, athletes' areas, competition halls and other public areas. Route identification and obstacle avoidance can be achieved through vision sensors and lidar on the chassis. According to the introduction, a single robot disinfection area can cover more than 1000 square meters, a single voyage can reach 4-5 hours.
Unmanned robot restaurant
The robot restaurant in Beijing's Winter Olympic Village, the largest non-competition venue for the Games, became an Internet sensation before the games opened.
It is reported that the entire kitchen of the Beijing Winter Olympics is empty, the chef and service staff are all robots, the restaurant is equipped with 120 robots, intelligent and automatic catering equipment can operate 24 hours a day, the whole process of ordering, preparing and serving food is automated, can serve thousands of people at the same time. You just swipe your phone to order. In addition to the authentic Chinese dishes on the menu, burgers, pizzas, cocktails and other types of dishes can be made to suit different athletes' tastes. All the robots are behind clear glass, so everyone can see the cooking process.
After the dishes are made, the machine can calculate the optimal path through the transparent glass track at the top of the restaurant to transport the dishes to the table, which usually takes 2-4 minutes. When the robot moves over the desired table, the tray "drops out of the sky" along with the cable.
Logistics distribution
Logistics distribution is also another important work during the Beijing Winter Olympics. Large items will be transported by logistics robots in a 4-meter buffer zone between two layers of iron horses inside and outside the closed loop. The robots, with a load-bearing capacity of 30-300kg, can move freely, avoid obstacles autonomously, recharge automatically and plan paths intelligently.
After the vehicle arrives at the boundary between the clean area and the buffer zone, the staff only needs to put the goods on the logistics robot, which will automatically send the goods to the unloading station. When the robot arrives, it will notify the pickup person via text message, like sending and receiving a delivery. After delivery, the robot will automatically return to the docking station for disinfection and charging.
The media center is also equipped with contactless delivery robots to reduce human mobility and ensure that the information needed for the media reaches the various media areas.
In addition, Genting Ski Park is equipped with "Intelligent Sentry robot" with AI monitoring function. With multi-spectral sensor as the core, genting Ski Park can carry out target identification, multi-target tracking, foreign object detection and crossing warning in complex environment, realizing all-weather monitoring and reducing potential risks.
Where is the service robot Yere?
According to DATA from IFR and Chinese Society of Electronics, the global service robot market grew at a CAGR of 21.8% from 2016 to 2020, and is expected to reach $12.52 billion in 2021, surpass industrial robots in 2022, and surpass $20 billion in 2023.
Before the Beijing Winter Olympics, service robots were developing in the technology and market, gaining good acceptance and recognition. The epidemic also accelerated the commercialization of service robots. "Unmanned service models such as epidemic prevention and elimination, food distribution, shopping and retail have opened up the way for service robots. With the accumulation of core technologies and scenarios, the market of service robots will be broader than we imagined under the background of labor shortage and soaring production costs.
At present, the industrial chain of service robot has basically formed, is experiencing a intelligent upgrade process, the core hardware technical problems are solved, localization aspect also needs to improve, with software technology, machine learning, and navigation and positioning technology rapid development, will produce a new industry, the leading company of tuyere and a large number of tuyere.
