With the development of automation, intelligence and informatization, intelligent manufacturing has become a trend in my country's industrial manufacturing. Composite mobile robots (also known as collaborative robots, mobile collaborative robots, etc.) as a solution for people and robots to work at the same time and in the same space have broad application prospects in intelligent manufacturing.
Especially since the spread of the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, more and more companies have considered using robots to cooperate with employees to improve production quality and reduce labor costs. Compared with traditional industrial robots, composite mobile robots also have the advantages of safer and simpler work and have strong development potential.
The robot control system is the brain of the robot and the main factor determining the function and performance of the robot. The controller required by the composite mobile robot is higher than that of the industrial robot, and it is necessary to help the composite mobile robot's safety, simplicity of operation, flexibility and smooth motion control to be fully utilized.
Industry application
The safety, simplicity of operation and flexibility of the composite mobile robot are constantly improving, and its advantages have been fully utilized. It has been applied in more and more fields, including welding, unmanned retail, assembly, logistics, medical care, education, etc.
How to quickly build a composite mobile robot (AGV/AMR)?
With strong industry demand, how can we quickly have a composite mobile robot that suits us? How can we quickly seize the composite mobile robot market? Kecong's overall solution for mobile robots makes it simple and convenient to quickly construct composite mobile robots, and users can pay more attention to function development and application.
Kecong's solution:
Based on the MRC5000 series navigation controller, the controller supports various navigation methods, comes with rich interfaces, and has a navigation accuracy of ±5mm, which is suitable for the application of composite mobile robots under various scenarios in the market.
Function realization:
Kecong's control system is responsible for the navigation and movement of the vehicle body, combined with the point accuracy of the corresponding navigation method; the on-board industrial robot is responsible for grabbing and operating materials. When the robot operation accuracy requirement is less than the AGV navigation point accuracy, it is necessary to add visual recognition and other positioning sensors to the end of the robot.
Advantages of composite mobile robots: Human-machine collaboration has brought fundamental changes to the industrial production and manufacturing of future factories, and has decisive and important advantages
① Maximum flexibility in the production process.
② Undertake manual processes that were previously unautomatable and not ergonomic, reducing the burden on employees.
③ Reduce the risk of injury and infection, such as using a dedicated human-robot collaborative gripper.
④ Complete repeatable processes with high quality without investing in type or workpiece.
⑤ Use built-in sensor systems to improve productivity and equipment complexity.
Based on the advantages of human-robot collaboration and in line with market demand, a more flexible composite mobile robot has become a feasible solution for assembly and extraction work. It can maximize the advantages of both humans and robots, allowing robots to better cooperate with workers and adapt to a wider range of work challenges.
