Machinery / Industrial Parts & Tools

The world today is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, and technological innovation is one of the key variables. As an important part of China's equipment manufacturing industry, construction machinery strives to innovate, opens a new chapter in the changing situation, and writes a new chapter of Chinese manufacturing. As a global leader in high-end equipment manufacturing and a leader in technological innovation in the industry, Zoomlion focuses on the intelligentization of construction machinery, braves the "no man's land" of technological innovation, and continues to lead the technological innovation of the industry.

"The excavator moves forward 4 meters and automatically brushes the slope 57 degrees"

"Received, go to the target point and start brushing the slope"

This is not a man-machine dialogue between the operator and the intelligent excavator robot, not the manager on the construction site giving orders to the excavator driver.

On January 7, Zoomlion took the lead in releasing an intelligent mining robot based on human-machine collaboration at the company's 6th Science and Technology Innovation Conference. This human-computer interaction system developed by the intelligent technical team of Zoomlion Research Institute applies advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and intelligent control technology, so that the excavator can not only communicate and interact with the operator, operate automatically, but also realize the understanding Gesture commands, understand voice commands, and execute actions automatically and accurately.

The fourth industrial revolution is coming, and "human-machine collaboration" has become the theme. Recently, the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Intelligent Manufacturing" issued by eight departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology clearly requires to strengthen key core technology research and overcome common technologies such as human-machine collaboration.

With the rapid development of science and technology, intelligence has become an inevitable trend in the development of construction machinery. The core of the intelligentization of construction machinery is the realization of highly anthropomorphic, robotic and flexible equipment.

Since 2014, Zoomlion has taken product intelligence as a breakthrough point, relying on technologies such as sensing, Internet of Things, and big data to further promote the comprehensive interconnection of people, machines and things. The human-machine collaborative intelligent mining robot unveiled this time is not only the latest research results in the field of human-machine collaboration, but also achieves a new breakthrough in technology, pushing the application of human-computer interaction in the industry to a new high.

Under the blessing of artificial intelligence and intelligent control technology, this intelligent mining robot has clairvoyance, ears, intelligent brain, and agile body. Move right."

We can see how "intelligent" this intelligent excavation robot is through the specific construction process. In the accurate earthwork operation, the slope brushing requirements are high and difficult, and the operator needs to have rich experience, so as to ensure the operation accuracy. In order to ensure the quality of the work, professional measurement personnel are also required to measure the results in real time.

But through the intelligent excavation robot, the slope brushing operation has become simpler but more precise. The operator inputs the 3D model of the construction scene and the task into the excavator, applies the intelligent brain, and the excavator conducts a global analysis of the scene and the task, and automatically drives to the target point and operates automatically, without the need for professional operators and surveyors.

"Forward, backward, turn any degree of slope, and brush the slope of any degree", during the construction process, the operator directly asked the excavator to execute the precise operation through the mobile phone equipped with the "automatic operation control" program independently developed by Zoomlion. the above instructions.

"We changed the traditional command interaction method, developed a voice control function, and supported hundreds of command sets," said Zoomlion's R&D staff, which enabled the equipment to not only understand the simple "forward" and "backward" commands, but also Can execute complex "slope brushing" and other operation commands.

In response to the precise positioning requirements in the construction process, Zoomlion Research issued a guided operation. Whether it is a construction site or a digital sand table, just specify a point on the ground by hand, and the intelligent excavation robot can reach the target point.

In addition, for complex construction tasks, Zoomlion has developed a bionic control mode, where operators can use their own arm movements for guidance, and the excavator can follow the arm movements to achieve precise operations.

Industry insiders said that Zoomlion's human-machine collaborative intelligent excavation robot not only helps to improve construction efficiency and reduce operating costs, but more importantly, excavators can carry out construction operations in more dangerous and complex environments, effectively reducing operation costs. personnel risk. Therefore, it has a high application promotion value and a promising market prospect.

With the rapid development of science and technology, the application of human-computer interaction is becoming more and more extensive. As a leader in technological innovation of construction machinery, Zoomlion will increase resource investment, accelerate the research and development of human-machine collaboration technologies and applications, and continue to lead the intelligent upgrade of the industry.
