Composite robot is a type of robot that integrates the functions of AGV mobile robot and general industrial robot. In the industrial field, general industrial robots are called robotic arms or manipulators, mainly replacing the grasping function of human arms. AGV mobile robots replace the walking function of human legs and feet, while composite robots combine the functions of both hands and feet.

Composite robots can be quickly deployed in fields such as automated factories, data management in computer rooms, power inspections, warehouse sorting, and automated commodity supermarkets, achieving automated material handling, cargo loading and unloading, and material sorting. Better meet industry demands. In specific application scenarios in the 3C industries such as electronics, semiconductors, medical, daily chemical, and mechanical processing. The combination of various types of AGV robotic arms has been widely used. Relatively speaking, AGV cooperative robots (also known as composite robots) are more precise and can be applied to high-precision and more complex environments, attracting market attention.

Advantages of composite robots: Firstly, improving the automation level in the production process. Composite robots are beneficial for improving the automation level of raw material part transportation, workpiece loading and unloading, and machine assembly, thereby increasing labor production efficiency, reducing production costs, and accelerating the pace of industrial production mechanization and automation. 2、 Improve working conditions and avoid personal accidents. Composite robots can partially or completely replace humans to safely complete dangerous operations in harsh environments, greatly improving workers' working conditions. Meanwhile, some simple but tedious handling tasks can be replaced by composite robots, which can avoid losses caused by human fatigue or negligence. 3、 The flexibility of the production line. After completing one process, the composite robot can proceed to the next process with high flexibility. In addition, multiple composite robots are used to form mobile assembly and processing stations, achieving collaborative scheduling of multiple devices.

Composite robots have only emerged in recent years and have shortcomings in technology, cost, market awareness, and other aspects. In this way, the application of composite mobile robots has not yet been expanded and is still in its infancy, but on the other hand, it also means that the market has not been developed yet and has enormous potential for the future. In the post pandemic era, it has promoted the automation transformation and upgrading of small and medium-sized enterprises. Therefore, the demand for robots with small and medium-sized loads has significantly increased. Many orders in fields such as 3C electronics have been seized by mobile robot and cooperative robot companies, which is the main reason for the rapid growth of the two robots.

Composite robots face challenges such as process application, market awareness, and software and hardware iteration. The deployment process is complex, and communication interfaces and hardware interfaces are not unified, requiring precision, load, durability, and other requirements. The Niraite composite robot has core technologies such as cluster scheduling algorithm and autonomous navigation algorithm, and a set of protocols solves the collaborative control of three products. It shares a 48V bus power supply internally and shares control terminals between multiple devices.
