HC Plastics News: First of all, we need to explain that although we are talking about smart manufacturing, the traditional production mode will not disappear soon, because it is ideal for mass production. In these traditional factories, industrial robots are fixed in one position and programmed to perform specific tasks. However, we also need to recognize that traditional industrial robots are efficient, accurate and reliable. However, these traditional industrial robots cannot see the environment around them, feel objects or interact with humans. This makes it possible for future robots to have greater flexibility and agility as smart manufacturing develops, thereby maintaining high productivity and quality while meeting the needs of increasingly differentiated customers. What kind of robot is suitable for intelligent manufacturing? (Source: Baidu Pictures) So where is the robot going in smart manufacturing? What kind of robot is suitable for intelligent manufacturing? First, smarter We need smarter robots, which allow the robot to adapt to more work and bring more efficiency. Smarter robots have a stronger ability to learn, which will make the robot not limited to program limits. For example, Google is researching objects that allow robots to pick up different shapes and materials. Instead of booking programming for robots, the robots make their own autonomous captures. Therefore, encountering new objects often results in higher failure rates, but robots can learn from failures. This increases the success rate of the next type of object, and also has a sharing function, sharing its own experience of trying to capture objects to other robots. Second, more able to cooperate with humans Robots are used to help humans, because the cooperation with humans will be the focus of robots. The current collaborative robots are less efficient and less accurate than traditional robots, but they are safe, mobile, flexible, space-saving, and installation. Deployment and programming are simple. As a result, IHSMarkit predicts that the market size of collaborative robots will grow from $108 million in 2015 to $570 million in 2020. In this regard, YuMi from ABB; UR3, UR5 and UR10 from Universal Robots; Sawyer and Baxter from Rethink Robotics; and CR-35iA from Fanuc are all showing their collaborative robots. Third, more service The nature of the service of the robot and the nature of collaboration with humans have some overlap, but given the current development of robots, it is better to distinguish the two. According to the 2016 IHSMarkit service robot and drone report, the market for professional service robots in 2015 is estimated at $2.6 billion, and sales are expected to reach $12.8 billion by 2020. After 2020, the global market for professional service robots is expected to grow even faster, reaching $80.6 billion in 2030, and more robots will evolve from the prototype stage to the commercialization stage for different applications. The earliest applications of service robots include agriculture, logistics, medical care, housekeeping services, and health, as some of the operations in these industries are programmed to facilitate robots to operate programmatically to serve humans. In addition, robots also design different ways of moving according to different environments. For example, robots relying on wheels or tracks are more suitable for structural and predictable environments, while legged robots are suitable for non-structural and unpredictable applications. In the environment. For the time being, the robots that move the wheel axles are easier to design and have wider applications. The robots that move with the legs are too difficult to design, and they need to take care of the balance. Currently, there are few applications, but what kind of robots will be used in the future? The way, or which method is more suitable, is difficult to judge.
