The importance of mobile robot chassis is highlighted, and the future prospects are promising

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, my country's service robot market has also ushered in explosive growth. According to the statistics of the "China Service Robot Industry Development Prospects and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report", it is in a stage of rapid growth from 2013 to 2018. In 2018 The scale of China's service robot market is expected to reach US$1.84 billion in 2019, a year-on-year increase of about 45.3%, which is higher than the growth rate of the global service robot market.

The growth rate of the service robot market will inevitably drive the growth of its related core technologies. As the foundation of service robot movement, the mobile robot chassis plays an important role in helping robots realize autonomous walking. What is a mobile robot chassis and what are its main functions?

Speaking of mobile robot chassis, we have to mention the ZEUS series of general-purpose service robot chassis headed by Silan Technology. ZEUS adopts the domestic leading SLAM navigation technology, which can recognize the surrounding environment and know its own location. At the same time, it also integrates laser radar , depth camera, ultrasonic, anti-drop and other sensors, together with navigation algorithms, can help robots realize fast perception, precise positioning, real-time mapping, intelligent navigation and path planning, allowing robots to perform independent calculation and reasoning in unknown environments , motion planning and real-time control.

At the same time, it supports scheduled charging that can be scheduled externally. When the battery power of the robot is low, it will automatically return to the charging dock to charge without human supervision, saving time and worry. In addition, the integration of autonomous elevator dispatching and control functions can realize autonomous up and down elevators, reach designated locations, monitor their own floors at any time, independently build multi-floor maps, and end users can view them at any time.

A robot is a combination of various technologies and functions. Except for some software functions, other important parts are on the hardware module of the robot chassis. The mobile robot chassis is not only the integration point of various sensors, motors and other equipment, but also carries The basic functions of the robot itself, such as positioning, navigation, and obstacle avoidance, are very important for service robots. The quality of the mobile robot chassis is directly related to the value of service robots, which affects the commercial development of service robots. In view of this, many robot companies Began to focus on the R&D and production of robot chassis.

At the moment when service robots are becoming more and more popular, the emergence of professional robot chassis research and development companies not only lowers the threshold for other companies to enter the service robot industry, but also makes breakthroughs in functions and costs, paving the way for the large-scale development of service robots .

With the growth of demand for service robots, the number of enterprises entering the robot chassis has increased. Many people in the industry are optimistic about the development prospects of mobile robot chassis. On the one hand, the increase in enterprises will bring greater competitive pressure and contribute to the rapid progress of technology. On the other hand, the technical development of robot chassis can give birth to the emergence of mobile robots such as competitions, opening up a larger application market for the development of the industry.

At present, there are nearly 20 companies entering the field of robot chassis, and they all want to come in to get a share, but the market prefers to choose Silan Technology. The big reason is that Silan Technology itself is a company that focuses on robot positioning and navigation technology. , It has more advantages in helping the robot realize positioning, navigation, obstacle avoidance and other functions.

Judging from the companies currently entering this field, although there are chassis for industrial and special service robots, most of them still focus on service robot chassis. The hot development of service robots has driven the explosion of downstream demand.
