2019 World Robotics Congress: More than 700 cutting-edge products unveiled.
On August 20th, the 2019 World Robotics Congress kicked off in Yizhuang, Beijing. More than 180 well-known enterprises from the global robotics field made amazing appearances with more than 700 cutting-edge products. It was not only an exposition where robots showed their talents and competed with each other, but also an exploration and practice of presenting researchers with "animals" (bionic robots), "people" (commercial robots) and "tools" (intelligent manufacturing equipment) as the innovation direction, so that
Big birds, jellyfish, sharks … …
Bionic robots are particularly dazzling.
Nature and science and technology seem to be two very different disciplines, but in fact they are inextricably linked. At this World Robotics Congress, "bionic robots" that imitate biology and engage in biological characteristics are particularly evident.
“3、2、1!” At the moment when the silver-white bird model suddenly flickered its wings and flew vigorously into the air, the audience gave out bursts of exclamation. I saw that it sometimes rotates and sometimes vibrates its arms. After dozens of seconds, it can fly back to the "master’s" arms accurately.
According to the relevant person in charge of festo, this intelligent flying bird was designed as a high-performance and ultra-light flying model by the R&D personnel on the basis of successfully analyzing the flight mechanism of birds. Its aerodynamic characteristics are excellent and extremely dexterous. Its wings can not only flap up and down, but also be driven to a specific angle by an active articulated torsion drive unit, and the electronic system integrated on it can accurately and efficiently control its torsion according to the wing position.
ROBK-SHARK intelligent bionic shark unmanned submersible developed by Boya Gongdao is also an industrial underwater fish robot platform. According to reports, it uses a three-joint bionic tail fin as the only power source, and is equipped with a 110 wide-angle and 16 times optical zoom starlight camera. The shell adopts membrane vibration sound absorption structure, which can realize underwater low noise work, thus greatly improving the concealment of the equipment.
Smart arms, flexible lower limbs, and brain-brain switching … …
Humanoid commercial robots are amazing.
In the development of robots, imitating human beings has always been one of the main directions. There have been many amazing achievements in the field of humanoid commercial robots.
German Agile Robots (Beijing Siling Robot) and Kinifinity jointly developed the wearable motion capture device (glove+coat), which can control the operation of the mechanical arm and dexterous hand freely and remotely, such as steadily grabbing the mineral water bottle and continuously pouring water into the glass. Li Yang, marketing department of Beijing Siling Robot, said that this kind of motion capture remote control equipment has been applied to related operations in space to some extent.
In the just-released Guoman Ne Zha, Yi Er’s equipment is mixed with Tian Ling and hot wheels, which is deeply rooted in people’s hearts. Nowadays, the best friend "Little Nezha" (U06), which is similar to Yier’s actions in the field of robotics, makes its debut, and its freely coordinated movement of lower limbs is amazing. According to Liu Xuenan, CEO of Kangli Youlan, it has the ability to intelligently adapt to various complex environments through the combination of lower limb movements with wheeled gait and efficient combination of fast and slow doubles.
Chuangchuang, an intelligent business service robot, seems to be able to "see through" children’s temper. According to the relevant person in charge of Chuangze, its biggest feature is to take the lead in completely opening the "brain" and "cerebellum" of robots to users, so that you can quickly learn professional knowledge in various industries and become an "expert".

Tool robot catches people’s eyes
Walking into the industrial robot exhibition area, the most eye-catching thing is that a complete blue intelligent robot arc welding production line is placed in the booth of Shougang in An Chuan. According to Cao Li, deputy general manager of the company, this system can be used to assemble automobile parts intelligently, accurately and efficiently.
The L4 logistics unmanned vehicle of Jingdong Logistics can achieve high-precision positioning at the lane level, accurately identify pedestrians, traffic signs and avoid obstacles through the deep integration of laser and vision and the use of high-precision maps. There is also its self-developed Chinese pallet access system, which mainly includes ground wolf AGV, six-axis mechanical arm and vision system, unmanned stacking forklift, four-way shuttle car and three-dimensional shelves.
Harbin Institute of Technology Robot Group brought a wearable underwater power backpack developed by one of its technology companies, which is novel and unique. This underwater swimming aid, which can be switched between various sports modes, has a backpack weighing 6.8kg (including battery) and a battery life of 50 minutes. Using the power generated by the electric propeller, divers can complete some difficult movements on the surface and underwater.
