Composite robot is a new type of robot that combines mobile robots and general industrial robots. In industrial applications, robotic arms or manipulators are typically used to perform grasping functions similar to human arms. Mobile robots, commonly known as AGVs or AMRs, can replace the walking function of human legs and feet. Composite robots can combine these two functions, using both hands and feet. At present, composite robots are very common in industrial scenarios, such as 3C manufacturing workshops, semiconductor workshops, CNC machining centers, etc., to perform processing tasks for small products.

Composite robot is a new type of robot that has both hand and foot functions. In the past, industrial robots were commonly referred to as robotic arms. Intelligent mobile robots are used to replace human legs and feet to move and control direction. The composite robot combines the advantages of both, using both hands and feet to combine the two functions.

At present, the price range of composite mobile robot products is 4-2.3 million yuan. The current application scenarios are mostly limited to precision manufacturing and operation and maintenance testing industries with low cost sensitivity, and the issue of user value is also prominent.

The working form of composite robots is mobile operations, which means that composite robots need to perform two positioning operations, namely position positioning based on the mobile chassis (position recognition) and position positioning based on the vision of the robotic arm (object recognition), which to some extent limits the improvement of the working efficiency of composite robots.

Mechanical arms with certain load operation capabilities are generally bulky, heavy, costly, and require additional bulky control cabinets., The high requirements for the strength and routing of the lifting platform, counterweight, and mobile chassis volume also limit the passability and endurance of the mobile chassis. However, lightweight robotic arms are difficult to meet the diverse load operation needs in daily life. The mobile chassis is not a purely rigid platform, and achieving high-precision operation on the mobile chassis is also a technical challenge.

Composite robots also face technological barriers in system integration. Due to their multiple modules, not only are the device types and sensor types of the modules different, but the communication protocol content types between devices are also different. The logic for handling exceptions is complex, making the control complexity of composite mobile robots very high.

According to the differences in equipment from manufacturers, composite robots require different software deployment environments, but it is often difficult to achieve embedded integration in every system, resulting in the need for cross system problem analysis and troubleshooting, which requires high technical requirements for deployment personnel and limits the large-scale replication and application of composite robots.
