With the rise of artificial intelligence, the robotics industry has received unprecedented attention, and the robot chassis, as an important hardware in robots, has also ushered in vigorous development. It carries multiple functions such as robot positioning, mapping, navigation, and obstacle avoidance, and is an indispensable part of mobile robots.
Silan robot chassis attracts attention
Speaking of robot chassis, we have to mention Silan Technology’s ZEUS. ZEUS has a built-in high-performance autonomous positioning and navigation system independently developed by Silan Technology, which can be equipped with different applications to meet the needs of shopping malls, restaurants, office buildings, banks and other scenarios. Application, realize autonomous route planning, no need for external environment adjustment and human programming settings, simple operation.
In addition to the built-in high-performance autonomous positioning and navigation system SLAMWARE, ZEUS also integrates various sensor data such as lidar, depth camera, ultrasound, and anti-drop, and cooperates with navigation algorithms to make the robot walk smarter. In general, ZEUS has the following 6 major functions:
1. Autonomous mapping, positioning and navigation
Without human assistance, use SharpEdge technology to build a high-precision map, realize a multi-route patrol mode, find a path and move to a designated location;
2. Virtual wall and virtual track
Relying on pure software implementation, efficient and reliable, without additional auxiliary laying, without changing the environment of the site, you can set the robot's activity range and travel route, and support physical magnetic track partition (optional);
Using virtual tracks, the robot can realize fixed track cruises and patrols
Using virtual walls, robots can move within a limited range
3. Autonomous return to charge
It supports scheduled charging that can be scheduled externally. When the battery power of the robot is low, it will automatically return to the charging dock for charging without human guards.
4. Cloud remote management
Based on RoboCIoud cloud service, remotely manage the registered ZEUS series platform to achieve more extended functions;
5. Third-party application expansion
Completely open software and hardware platform, provide external hardware support, and develop business logic applications through SLAMWARE SDK.
6. Floor mapping navigation, autonomous elevator control (expandable)
Integrate autonomous elevator dispatching and control functions to realize autonomous up and down elevators, reach designated locations, monitor one's own floor at any time, independently build multi-floor maps, and end users can view them at any time.
In addition to the ZEUS robot chassis, Silan Technology also launched a new generation of robot chassis Apollo. Apollo can be used for the development of any small and medium-sized commercial robot chassis, while ZEUS is mainly used for the secondary development of large commercial robots.
Robot chassis price
It is understood that the current price of robot chassis on the market is in the range of 20,000 to 100,000. For robots with higher functional requirements, the price of the chassis is relatively higher. The price of the robot chassis ZEUS of Silan Technology is 65,000 yuan, while the price of the Apollo robot chassis is only It is 45,000 yuan.
With the increasing popularity of robots, the emergence of professional robot chassis research and development companies has not only lowered the barriers for other companies to enter the robot industry, but also made breakthroughs in functions and costs, paving the way for the large-scale development of robots.
