From dazzling industrial robots, service robots to special robots ... Walking into the exhibition hall of 202 1 World Robotics Congress, you will suddenly find that the future has come.
With the development of artificial intelligence, robots are not only "waiters" of human beings, but may be more like friends of human beings. Perhaps, in the future, intelligent robots will be everywhere, and humans will work side by side with them and live together.
"From the vast space to the deep sea in Wan Li, from factory workshops to fields, from the country's heavy weapons to people's lives, we are stepping into a colorful new world where robots live in harmony." At the opening ceremony of the 20021World Robotics Congress held on September 10, Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology Xin described the present and the future.
Walking into the exhibition hall of the 20021World Robotics Congress, from "Einstein" explanation to brain-computer interface demonstration, from all kinds of industrial robots, service robots to special robots, you will suddenly find that the future has come again and again.
Einstein became a commentator.
Einstein, with his trademark fluffy white hair and a thick gray beard above his lips, is undoubtedly one of the stars who gather the most flashlights in the exhibition hall of 202 1 World Robotics Congress.
This lifelike humanoid robot played the role of the commentator: "Hello, I'm Albert Einstein, welcome to the 20021World Robotics Expo!" As he spoke, he gestured and his eyes blinked naturally. Looking closely, the deep wrinkles on his forehead and the spots on his cheeks are very realistic.
This is the "Einstein" bionic robot from Dalian Golden Stone Beach EX Future Science and Technology Museum. According to the booth staff, the robot integrates high-tech achievements such as bionic, 5G cloud and interactive technology, and can be used in museums, exhibition halls and other places.
The required panda robot "Youyou" is another star in the exhibition. Based on the image of giant panda, the China Pavilion of Dubai World Expo is customized on the basis of Walker, which can not only guide the explanation, but also dance and compare hearts. This robot, which is good at selling cute, is particularly pink at the scene.
Disinfection robot "born to cope with the epidemic"
Inside and outside the exhibition hall of the conference, you may come across a slow-moving robot-you will know it is a disinfection robot when you see the white water mist sprayed on their heads.
The COVID-19 epidemic sweeping the world has also brought great influence to the robot industry, and the sharp increase in demand for disinfection robots is one of them. According to Li Qingmin, chairman of Chuangze Intelligent Robot Group, the intelligent disinfection robots they produce can treat the surrounding environment with "ultraviolet+plasma" to eliminate viruses and purify the air. Its high-precision temperature measuring module can also monitor the temperature of people passing by. In order to protect the health of people around it, it is equipped with a special human body sensing device. When someone approaches, the ultraviolet lamp will automatically go out. At present, the product has been widely used in outpatient halls, fever clinics, laboratory departments and other scenes in some hospitals.
Also related to the epidemic are the throat swab robot and ward patrol robot brought by Tsinghua University Institute of Artificial Intelligence. The former can quickly carry out the task of continuous throat swab collection, and the user can quickly and simply complete autonomous sampling according to the voice prompt of the robot. The latter can be used for daily rounds and consultations in infectious wards, and can realize remote consultations. Using these robots can not only reduce the workload of medical staff, but also reduce the risk of infection.
More accurate surgical robot
Liang Liang, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, said that with the aging of the population, the application demand of medical robots is gradually increasing. The 20021World Robotics Congress focused on building a medical robot exhibition area, which doubled the area compared with the last congress, and different application robots such as surgical robots and Yang Kang robots appeared on the same stage.
There is also a large robot in the medical robot area that looks like a CT detector. According to the staff, it has a built-in robot navigation CT system, which can locate and segment tumors in the human body in three dimensions, and is equipped with a mechanical arm to assist in needle insertion in the target direction, which can realize nano-scale fine control freedom. "Seeing clearly, stabbing accurately and eliminating thoroughly are the three characteristics of the robot system." The staff said that this robot can replace doctors and realize highly accurate minimally invasive interventional therapy.
A "retrograde person" who is not afraid of high temperature
Red shell, tracked chassis like a tank car, this is a high-temperature fire-fighting robot brought by life. This robot can work stably in the environment of 1000 for more than 30 minutes without external auxiliary cooling.
According to the booth staff, the technological innovation of the high-temperature fire-fighting robot is that the composite shell can effectively suppress external thermal radiation, heat conduction and interlayer thermal radiation, and the mobile chassis also solves the working stability of the transmission system in extreme temperature difference environment. The robot is also equipped with high-temperature resistant cameras, thermal shock-resistant lens components and other high-temperature resistant designs, which support the lens to work for a long time under extreme temperature conditions, ensure the imaging quality, and enable the robot to go deep into the center of the fire to collect images and send them back in real time.
"Robots can conduct fire detection, fire extinguishing and cooling in the high temperature area of the fire scene, expand the combat capability of rescuers and ensure the personal safety of firefighters." The staff member said.
Special robot is a kind of robot that has been widely used in recent years. Security robots, rescue robots, inspection robots and other varieties have come out. The "special forces" in these robots are not only afraid of high temperature, but also afraid of cold.
Shen Hao Science and Technology's extremely cold adaptive substation inspection robot can be applied to extremely cold areas with the temperature as low as -40. The discharge characteristics of ordinary batteries will deteriorate with the decrease of temperature, and the battery life will be shorter and shorter. The robot is equipped with a variety of cold-resistant sensors and components, combined with special algorithms and application software, which can meet the requirements of low-temperature endurance in extremely cold environment, reliable driving on icy roads and accurate detection results.
Will humans and robots become friends?
A player wears a special device on his head and looks at the screen. After a while, an English line appeared on the screen: Hello. This line of words is not typed by his hand on the keyboard, but by his brain.
At the robot conference, the demonstrations made by the contestants in the brain-computer interface competition attracted the amazement of many audiences. You don't need to implant a chip in your brain. After you bring a helmet-like device, you only need to think about what you need in your mind to realize automatic input. The magical brain-computer connection is presented.
From man-machine * * to man-machine * * * fusion, the first clue appears.
Wang Yaonan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, said at the conference, "The future development direction of robot artificial intelligence is very important, and many key technologies determine the future of robots. Among them, memory technology, perception technology, action planning and machine learning are all artificial intelligence that have developed very rapidly in recent years and can be transplanted to robots. The future robot must be a complete, intelligent, autonomous and networked control system. "
"Artificial intelligence technology is bringing new changes to robots." Liang Liang said that the biggest feature of the robot industry is its strong innovation. In the future, robots will definitely develop into intelligence, and intelligent robots will become an important way and carrier to change human production and life.
