Humanoid robot, wheeled robot, multi legged special-shaped robot, intelligent agricultural robot, group cooperative robot... Recently, the 23rd China robot and artificial intelligence competition was held in Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing. Nearly 100 experts, scholars and industry insiders exchanged and discussed, and more than 1000 university teams competed online and offline simultaneously, An endless stream of robots show broad application prospects. The reporter learned that with the rapid development and in-depth application of artificial intelligence, big data, 5g, intelligent sensing and other technologies, in recent years, the development of robot intelligence presents multiple characteristics, such as upgrading from perceptual intelligence to cognitive intelligence, and evolving from single machine intelligence to cluster intelligence. It continues to iterate in man-machine cooperation, artificial intelligence and bionic structure, Robots are becoming more and more "smart" and are accelerating the empowerment of production and life. "Robots are gradually developing towards high performance and intelligence. They are integrated with artificial intelligence, Internet, big data, 3D, new materials and other technologies, and their application fields are constantly expanding." Sun lining, Dean of the school of mechanical and electrical engineering of Suzhou University, said that intelligent robots with multiple forms and scenes emerge one after another, widely enabling economic and social development. At the event site, an intelligent transportation robot brought by Ma Tianfang team of Tianjin University attracted extensive attention. "We embedded the software system into the intelligent transportation robot and established a comprehensive intelligent medical waste treatment system with transporter, monitoring end and adaptability to the surrounding environment, which can realize the whole process of medical waste treatment without contact." Ma Tianfang said. Industrial field is still the main application field of robot. The accelerated layout of intelligent manufacturing system with industrial robot as the core is effectively promoting enterprises to reduce costs, increase efficiency, save energy and reduce emissions. More than 1000 robots operate orderly in Jinkang xilis Liangjiang intelligent factory. There is no welder in the welding workshop of the factory. On the stamping line, the whole process of feeding, die replacement and stamping is completed by multiple robots. The stamped parts are grabbed and framed by the manipulator, and then transferred automatically by the logistics robot. The whole process is very fast. In recent years, with the increasingly mature technology, the application field of industrial robot is also increasing, and the demand continues to rise. In addition to automobile manufacturing, it is also widely used in furniture and household appliances, hardware and bathroom, food and beverage and other fields. Data show that from January to September this year, the total output of industrial robots in China reached 268700 sets, a year-on-year increase of 57.8%. In addition to production, robots that "become smart" also accelerate the empowerment of people's lives. The reporter learned that the development of artificial intelligence is making service robots more "smart", and service robots have gradually become a hot spot in the field of robots. Not long ago, Chongqing Sanqian Intelligent Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. launched the first intelligent medical service robot and "took up the post" in a hospital in Guangdong. The patient asked "what department does allergic cough look at?" "What are the ophthalmologists?" "How can I get to the children's Insurance Department?" And other questions, it can answer them one by one. How should "smart" robots be further optimized? Looking forward to the development of robots and artificial intelligence, Liu Lianqing, a researcher at Shenyang Institute of automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that robots are increasingly highlighting the characteristics of "people", and robots in the future will be more intelligent and flexible. "Perceptual drive and intelligence will become its endogenous form, making the robot gradually 'flesh and blood'." Liu Lianqing said. (Xinhua News Agency)
