With the accelerated integration of Internet technology, big data technology, AI artificial intelligence and other new technologies with the robot industry, robot technology and products have also undergone rapid changes. In the vast majority of industry sectors, industrial robots have already transformed from fixed and rigid mechanical characteristics, fully integrating robots, intelligent products, and software optimization algorithms, achieving a corresponding degree of "human-machine collaboration" and "machine for human exchange".

At last year's CIIF, many outstanding companies both domestically and internationally showcased their latest products. Among them, collaborative robots account for a large proportion and have a wide range of applications, including automobiles, 3C, food, mechanical processing, etc.

It is not difficult to see that developing collaborative robots has become one of the development directions for many robotics companies both domestically and internationally. What are the advantages of collaborative mobile robots? What changes will collaborative robots bring to traditional industries? With these questions in mind, OFweek robot.com interviewed Dong Weili, the sales director of the autonomous mobile Mir robot in China. For a long time, autonomous mobile Mir robots have been regarded as one of the leaders in the collaborative robot market, so MiR has a certain say in the above issues.

Centered around flexibility and security.

Since its establishment in 2013, the autonomous mobile MiR robot has been committed to providing professional autonomous mobile robot processing solutions for global automotive, electronic equipment, third-party warehousing, medical institutions, and other fields, thus optimizing the speed and production efficiency of internal freight logistics in all aspects. Companies with significant competitiveness benefit.

On the premise of fully leveraging the advantages of the new technology of collaborative robots, MiR has carried out in-depth exploration of the characteristics of collaboration in line with its own advantages. The concept of collaboration is actually only reflected in the safety performance of product human-computer interaction technology. Human computer interaction technology encompasses many aspects. For example, there are many small details that need to be paid attention to in the software page design of human-computer interaction technology, such as how to embody a people-oriented approach and how robots can interfere with the emotions of surrounding employees during task execution. Therefore, in current products, MiR has invested a lot of research and development in safety performance, sensitivity, and convenience, committed to providing users with mobile robots that are both safe, reliable, sensitive, and practical in the market.

Usability is important for software

Currently, talent shortage is a major issue when new technologies are introduced. Dong Weili revealed that MiR places great importance on the usability of its product software. The newly developed product only requires half an hour of learning for ordinary people to quickly get started. For robots that have just opened the box, skilled operators can complete task programming in 5 minutes, which is impossible in the environment of traditional industrial robot software.

The collaboration between humans and machines is the trend of the future.

Currently, manufacturers in the global high-end manufacturing industry are facing the same challenges: a significant shortage of labor; Enhancing production efficiency and speed during bottleneck periods; Reduce costs and expenses; Reduce product defects, quality defects, and losses; Thoroughly solve work-related accidents in the workshop and the test of ergonomics.
