Lead: AGV refers to a transport vehicle equipped with an automatic guiding device such as electromagnetic or optical, which can travel along a prescribed guiding path, with safety protection and various transfer functions. It focuses on multi-disciplinary research results such as sensor technology, information processing, computer engineering, automation control engineering and artificial intelligence. It is one of the most active areas of scientific and technological development.
With the continuous improvement of robot performance, rapid development of logistics and 3C industry, the application range of AGV has been greatly expanded, and it has been widely used in industries, agriculture, transportation, medical, service and other fields. Therefore, mobile robot technology has been obtained. The general concern of countries around the world.
At the 3C Zhizhi Technology Summit in China, Fu Jian, a professor at the School of Optoelectronic Science and Engineering at Zhejiang University, gave a wonderful speech on the current status of AGV mobile robots used in the industrial field.
AGV Mobile Robot: New Competitive Forces in the Future
Broad application prospects, market size can be expected
At present, the automotive industry, 3C industry, tobacco industry, and logistics industry are the most widely used areas of AGV mobile robots.
According to the data, as of 2018, there were 29,600 new mobile robots (AGVs) in China, an increase of 35.22% compared with 2017. The sales of new mobile robots (AGV) reached 4.25 billion yuan, 49 compared with 2017. The growth rate of % is expected to be around 20% in the next few years. In the next five years, the scale of China's mobile robot market will reach 14 billion yuan, and the development prospects of the industry are huge.
What are the advantages of AGV development?
As one of the key equipments of modern warehousing system, AGV has the characteristics of high degree of automation, sensitivity and safety, greatly improving working conditions and environment, improving the level of automated production, and effectively liberating labor productivity, reducing labor intensity and reducing personnel. Equipped with optimized production structure, saving manpower, material resources and financial resources.
In the automated logistics system, the AGV has the advantages of no need to lay rails, support frames and other fixtures, and is not subject to the limitations of the site, road and space, etc., and can fully reflect its automation and other equipment. Flexible, efficient, economical and flexible unmanned production.
Innovative technology for precise positioning
As a branch of wheeled mobile robots, AGV's most critical technology is positioning and navigation. With the development of various technologies, AGV's guiding technology has also been continuously improved. At present, the commonly used guiding methods are: electromagnetic guiding, tape guiding, ribbon guiding, and the like.
Based on its core technology, Guangzhou Dapao Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. is committed to becoming a core component and system solution provider for industrial logistics automation. In the 3C Zhizhi Technology Summit, Fu Jian introduced Dapao Intelligent Technology for intelligent handling platform. The new technology - remote graphics coding super three-dimensional positioning technology, this technology surpasses the intensive reading and speed of laser positioning navigation, avoids the AGV in the use of engineering to locate the two-dimensional code of the fouling, while at the same time can achieve any path of AGV walking, in addition to this In addition, the technology takes advantage of the optical imaging system to reduce the two-dimensional code density to a size of every 10 square meters. For the first time, the 6-degree-of-freedom precise positioning of the remote QR code is realized, which is being applied to the AGV and the intelligent forklift.
The emergence of AGV has greatly reduced the labor intensity, reduced the high labor cost, and made the logistics industry more intelligent and automated.
In the future, AGV will be integrated with multi-sensors to maintain high cost performance and expand the scope of application to achieve more automated operations. In the face of the global wave of intelligence, AGV will have a lot to offer!
