Robotics is the product of global collaboration, and any company that wants to achieve long-term success cannot develop all the technologies on its own. Trying to go it alone is not only slow, it also fails to take full advantage of the collective wisdom of all humanity.

In 2008, Danish robotics company UR introduced the world’s first commercial cobot, and since then a number of cobots have appeared on the market. What is the experience of the originator of collaborative robots in the development and application of robotics?

2500-RBC 901E-2500-RBC On April 22, Ujjwal Kumar (Ma Ujia), global president of the robotics division of Tyreda Group, the parent company of Youao Robotics, told Thepaper.cn (www.thepaper.cn) that innovation is the core driving force. In the face of fierce competition in the robot market, its robot products will not rely on cost advantages to compete, do not intend to become the lowest price option, product, ecosystem and service model innovation is the key to success, and to operate like “Chinese enterprises”.

Teradyne, headquartered in Massachusetts, USA, was founded in 1960 to design and manufacture automation equipment for testing and industrial applications. The Robotics division of the Teredad Group comprises two subsidiaries of Danish robotics company Youao Robotics and Minao Mobile Robotics (MiR), providing collaborative robots and mobile robotics products.

Collaborative robots can be used in human-machine collaborative environments, with a wider range of work, drag-and-drop teaching, simpler user interfaces and programming, and low deployment costs. The UR30, a new collaborative robot weighing 63.5 kg with a load capacity of 30 kg, was announced in November last year and can be used in scenarios such as machine care, material handling and high-torque screw tightening. Ujjwal Kumar said that Uao is also integrating Nvidia’s accelerated computing into collaborative robots, making path planning 50-80 times faster than current schemes.

2500-RBC 901E-2500-RBC Traditional industrial robot technology mainly performs large-scale production tasks with high repeatability and low variability. According to Ujjwal Kumar, the introduction of artificial intelligence allows robots to adapt to unstructured environments, and these advanced robots need powerful computing power and are more focused on handling diverse complex applications, replacing humans to perform repetitive, dangerous and dirty work.

“Advanced robotics is not emerging to replace humans, but to meet a critical need in society. We also have a huge Labour shortage, we don’t have enough people with the right skills and who want to work in the manufacturing sector. Therefore, we need advanced robotics to fill the labor gap in manufacturing and warehousing.” “Ujjwal Kumar said.

There are currently 32 AI-based solutions on the platform. According to Ujjwal Kumar, AI makes robots more intelligent, flexible and adaptable, better able to understand, make decisions and perform tasks autonomously across diverse solutions. With the introduction of speech recognition and emotion recognition technology, AI can also improve the interaction between robots and humans. In addition, AI improves the safety and reliability of robots, and through continuous learning and evolution, risks can be monitored and continuously assessed, so that robots can operate safely and reliably.
