Robot, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) defines him as: a programmable actuator that has a certain degree of autonomy and can move in its environment to perform expected tasks.
Therefore, a robot does not necessarily have to have a long nose and eyes, and a human-like appearance. As small as sweeping robots, as large as 7,000-meter manned submersibles..., these are all within the scope of robots.
However, compared with the development of the robot industry at home and abroad, in addition to technical shortcomings, most of the challenges and difficulties are more or less related to the lack of standards. Therefore, the standardized quality and modular hardware of robots urgently need to be improved, and robot manufacturers and related service providers are also working hard to do this.
Silan Technology has been working hard for the standardization of robots. Whether it is components, complete machines, or system integration, I hope that based on Silan's technology, there is a relaxing experience similar to building blocks.
Maintaining the status quo
At the technical level, Silan Technology has done many things to make autonomous navigation robots as convenient as building blocks:
● Set standard definition interface
The interface actually defines a specification and standard. With a defined interface, it is convenient for users to call functions, evaluate development and applications. Silan's autonomous positioning and navigation solution provides users with numerous standardized software and hardware interfaces. Based on these, users can have a standardized experience of Silan's technology.
● Possess supporting underlying SDK, supporting various development platforms
In addition to the RoboStudio integrated robot development environment developed by Silan Technology, it also provides a cross-platform SDK to facilitate expansion of functions and complete application requirements. Support Windows, Android, iOS, Linux environment.
● From 0-1, help you build a robot that can navigate autonomously
What kind of experience is it to build an intelligent mobile robot from 0-1?
I think there is no faster autonomous positioning and navigation solution than Silan~
If you want to research the algorithm by yourself and don't want to do the sensor part, choose RPLIDAR series;
If you want to design the shape and don't want to copy the existing shape, choose SLAM Cube;
If you want to develop directly on the upper level and don’t want to bother with the lower part, choose the robot chassis series.
For example, if you have a ZEUS series chassis, then you have a robot "lower body" that is easy to maintain, easy to deploy, easy to control, and easy to manage:
(1) Ability to build super large scene maps
(2) Autonomous positioning and navigation
(3) Flexible processing capabilities in response to environmental changes
(4) Automatic recharging and self-pairing
(5) Get on and off the elevator autonomously

Standardization and customization complement each other
It is impossible for a robot product or technology to cover all application scenarios. Although standardized robot products can well control cost issues, they cannot meet all the needs of customers. Therefore, while robots have standardization, they must also have the ability to "stretch nothing" for vertical segmentation.
Take the ZEUS series as an example. In addition to the above standard functions, you can also expand and develop upper-level applications. Develop your own robot for your vertical field and application logic.

Algorithm empowers multi-machine maintenance and management
Through the blessing of algorithms, Silan Technology allows robots to realize cloud mapping, remote robot maintenance and management, multi-machine interaction, and realize multi-terminal and multi-service localized collaborative work between machines and synchronization of control and management.
The above is the endeavor of Silan in robot standardization. Although there is still a lot of work to be done, we believe that only by always being at the forefront can we get closer to the standard and closer to the dream.
