Chapter 791: Large Multi-tentacle Engineering Robot

"On top of that, we're also amplifying this multi-tentacle robot to help our humans do some of the heavy lifting.

This large, multi-tentacle robot is like several huge and very powerful arms extended by a human being, and can help us do some impossible tasks. ”

"Although there are related construction machinery on the market, such as claw machines, hook machines, excavators, etc., there is no such flexible machine as a human arm.

It can complete these delicate tasks that traditional construction machinery cannot complete, and the efficiency is several times higher than that of traditional machinery. ”

"In order to keep it running for longer, we equipped it with a large new lithium-ion battery pack that can sustain it at full capacity for up to 10 hours.

In addition, this large new lithium battery pack, we use a modular design, which is very easy to disassemble and replace. If continuous operation is required, only one battery module needs to be replaced. ”

"And, to further improve its range, we've equipped it with high-speed charging technology. A large new lithium-ion battery pack like the one equipped for this large, multi-tentacle robot can be completed in less than eight hours with our high-speed charging technology.

That is to say, under normal circumstances, two large new lithium battery packs can complete alternating and uninterrupted continuous construction operations.

This also makes this large multi-tentacle robot also very suitable for some large-scale infrastructure repair and maintenance work. ”

"Let's list one of the most urgent and deadly emergency rescue scenarios we see every day.

On a highway section, there were several car rear-end collisions. The people in the car are stuck in it, and it is difficult to get out. ”

"At this point, rescue forces arrived and needed to destroy the vehicles so that the seriously injured people trapped inside could escape.

The time is very urgent, and a minute late may put the lives of the people inside in danger. ”

"There are two options in front of the rescuers at the rescue site, one option is to use large demolition machinery, but even if this large demolition machinery is carefully operated, it will still cause injuries to the people inside, resulting in secondary injuries.

The second option is man-made demolition, which is more delicate, but the demolition and rescue time is too long. The people trapped inside and seriously injured were difficult to rescue in time. ”

"At this time, if there is one of our large multi-tentacle robots, we can quickly and delicately dismantle these damaged and deformed vehicles, and rescue the trapped people and send them to the hospital for rescue treatment in the shortest possible time."

"In the second scenario, let's assume a flood frontline. The levee is in danger of bursting. At this time, the embankment needs to be urgently strengthened to plug the gap.

Often at this time, it is difficult for traditional large-scale construction machinery to reach the scene, and its role is very limited. In particular, transporting sandbags to reinforce the embankment requires manual transportation and reinforcement. ”

"If we use a large multi-tentacle robot like ours, we can complete the relevant rescue and disaster relief work very well.

First of all, compared with traditional construction machinery, our large multi-tentacle robot is very light, which is very suitable for helicopter transportation. Even if it cannot be transported, it can be transported to the site quickly by pallet truck. ”

"Secondly, it can be a good substitute for manpower to complete the sandbag reinforcement of the embankment. Especially in the neat stacking of sandbags, which is not possible with traditional construction machinery. ”

"Then there is the plugging work of the breach, which is difficult to block the turbulent water flow with sand and gravel, and must be carried out with large stones or cement blocks.

Even in an emergency, it may be necessary to sacrifice a part of the construction vehicle and rush it into the gap to block the turbulent water. ”

"For this kind of large stones, it is difficult for general construction machinery to handle, and traditional cranes are slow to enter the site, and the operation is relatively slow. If we use a large multi-tentacle robot like ours, we can quickly complete the work of accumulating stones in the gap.

A large multi-tentacle robot like this can lift several tons or even nearly ten tons of stones, and it is very easy to handle. And the stones in this way are enough to block the turbulent breach. ”

"In addition, such large multi-tentacle robots can be used for infrastructure repairs. For example, a large transformer set in a community burned out and needed to be replaced urgently.

This is where the advantages of this large, multi-tentacle robot can be revealed. It is very convenient to remove the large transformer bank that burned out or replace it with a new large transformer bank.

Similarly, there are some special construction sites, which are incomparable to traditional construction machinery. ”

"So is that enough?"

Wu Hao paused for a moment, and then he shook his head and said, "No, we don't think it's enough, it's not perfect enough."

Since it is a robot, it should be more intelligent, which is the biggest advantage that distinguishes it from traditional construction machinery. ”

"So what is intelligence, we think that since it is called a robot, it should have the characteristics of a robot.

First, we give it the ability to operate autonomously. In other words, this large multi-tentacle robot can be completely unmanned.

Through our 5G high-speed network, our controllers can operate this large, multi-tentacle robot in real time from thousands of miles away.

With our panoramic lenses, smart VR immersive glasses, and our smart sensor gloves, drivers can be very agile in maneuvering robots from thousands of miles away. ”

"We once did a test, from Anxi to the Northwest Desert, thousands of miles away, and asked our controllers in Anxi to control our large multi-tentacle robot to complete the work of threading needles.

The needle is our traditional embroidery needle, and the thread is the filament thread we use to sew clothes. We have recorded the whole process with the camera, let us enjoy this short video. ”

Wu Hao's words fell, and the video began to play. I saw two windows appear on the camera, one is in the Anxi control center, and the video screen of the operator wearing intelligent control equipment. On the other side, in the northwest desert, the on-site staff is making relevant preparations, including inserting an embroidery needle into an apple, and a thin thread is placed on the large multi-grasp robot.

This process may seem like juggling, but it's actually a big deal about the accuracy and stability of the remote control. Whether the equipment is stable or not, whether the remote control can fully grasp the on-site situation will directly affect the accuracy of the control.

At the beginning of the test, one tentacle of the large multi-tentacle robot accurately clamped the embroidery needle inserted in the apple.

Then the tentacles holding the embroidery needle and the tentacles holding the silk thread actually moved to the camera, and then began to wear them.
