With the development of Industry 4.0, more and more composite robots are shuttling around factories. They can avoid people or obstacles, move freely, retrieve materials from warehouse shelves, transport them to production line machines, and independently replace machine processed workpieces. This is a scenario where a composite robot independently completes monotonous and repetitive tasks in a production workshop. Composite robots require "eyes, brain, hands, and feet" to complete tasks like humans.

Recognition technology, which has the same visual ability as the human eye, can observe and confirm the surrounding environment. For example, in order to correctly grasp the target object, the support of "object contour extraction technology" is needed, which means correctly determining which objects exist at the target position and how various objects are placed.

By using SLAM technology, composite robots can construct maps with more realistic visual effects, compare standard positions with current positions, determine their own positions, and move correctly and freely even in places without guides and signs.

The 'planning technique' of 'thinking' is based on information obtained through recognition technology, enabling robots to think and act on their own.

For example, when humans grab materials, they think about where the objects they want to grab are, how big and heavy they are, and how to extend their arms to avoid contact with the inside of the box and other objects.

But for composite robots, it is necessary to plan the actions, that is, how to move the robotic arm, in order to grab the target object without colliding with surrounding objects. This is planning technology. The implementation of robot "action planning" is based on information obtained from recognition technology, repeatedly simulating operations in a computer-generated model space, and planning more action plans.

After completing the 'action plan', the next step is actual 'action'. The technology required for this "action" is called "mechanism control technology". From a human perspective, this can also be considered as a 'technology for achieving agile movements'.

In order to achieve the goal of "intelligent action", robots believe that lower performance standards need to be: developing action plans for the robotic arm through simulated operations, and moving the robotic arm correctly according to the plan.

For example, when humans place workpieces into a CNC station, they place them at the center of the station. In order to bring the workpiece closer to the center of the CNC station, people will observe and confirm the edge of the station with their eyes, and then place the workpiece at the center of the station. Then slowly push the processed workpiece to the processing position. When you feel the reaction force of the processed workpiece hitting the edge of the processing position, you will confirm that the processed workpiece has been placed in the working position, and then you will let go.

However, for the "arm gripper" of composite robots, achieving these unconscious human actions is much more complex, which requires "technology to achieve dexterous movements".

Specifically, it is achieved through the installation of "force sensors" on the composite robot arm to detect the contact behavior between the workpiece and the CNC machine tool, realizing the agility of the action. Composite robots assist humans in completing tasks that are 'human completed', which requires ensuring safety. Composite robots have multiple safety protections, can independently plan better paths, actively avoid people or other obstacles, and can also collaborate with humans to help factories achieve more efficient productivity.
