IOM4.2 Professor Zhao Jie, director of the Institute of Robotics of HIT, once said that collaborative robots and surgical robots are two kinds of products that China is expected to walk in the forefront of the world.

At present, China has become the world’s leading collaborative robot market, with market sales accounting for more than 40% of the global total sales, and the import substitution trend is obvious.

Then, in the place where you can hear the “gunfire” of the market, if the robot wants to be truly popular, the price of the product is one of the core elements that needs to be broken through.

In the face of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of robotic arms in the market, ordinary consumers can only stop and watch. And in the spring new products conference of Ryerman yesterday, the launch of its new products can be said to open a new era of collaborative robots.

IOM4.2 Thousand yuan new era Light new era

This time, there are three new products, GEN72, ECO62 and an open source AI product Rui Eye.

First look at GEN72, its product core lies in its deeply innovative construction and process level of extreme optimization. The GEN72 completely revolutionizes the structural principle of the robot arm: streamlining the components and simplifying the overall frame, which significantly improves the durability and economic efficiency of the product, especially in its highly competitive thousand yuan product price (9,980 yuan).

IOM4.2 In the form of the product, GEN72 uses a large number of linear curved surface design, the overall round, safe, soft, while with 7 degrees of freedom bionic structure, but also for the development of humanoid robots laid a solid foundation.

With an effective operating radius of 600mm, 7 degrees of freedom and a load capacity of 2 kg, the GEN72 meets the needs of most application scenarios. In addition, this robot arm continues the lightweight design concept that Ryerman has always adhered to, and the weight of the whole machine is controlled within 5 kg, which greatly improves the portability and flexibility of the product.

Take the ECO62, a new generation of micro-collaborative robotic arms. The arm span is 355mm, the maximum load is 2kg, the repeated positioning accuracy is ±0.05mm, the robot arm has 6 degrees of freedom, and the self-weight is only 3.25kg. It is light and flexible, and has good industrial performance, and can meet the needs of collaborative work in small space. It is suitable for industries and scenes with high degree of automation and dense production lines.

IOM4.2 The integrated joint with high energy density ratio is the core of the whole robot arm. All the joints of the ECO62 micro manipulator arm are self-developed by Ryerman, and the joint size is only φ36*60mm, with an output torque of up to 3Nm. After testing, the stability and reliability are outstanding, reaching the domestic leading level.

Help robots enter thousands of homes faster

Also released is the AI product “Rui Eye”. This is an AI product that integrates the whole process of intelligent acquisition, identification, positioning and (grasping) operation. With its powerful intelligent algorithm combined with the hardware of the robot arm, it can realize the positioning and grasping function of a variety of items. At this stage, it has been able to complete any object from image acquisition, annotation to model training and capture in one hour (in which manual participation time is less than 5 minutes).

IOM4.2 Through user-friendly interaction and easy-to-operate interface, “Rui Eye” presents the original complex data acquisition model training, model deployment and other functions to users in a simple and understandable way, reducing user learning and use costs, so that users only need to pay attention to the needs themselves, and realize that users can access everything from using intelligent algorithms to operating machinery. Help the robot arm/robot to enter thousands of households faster.

In addition, Ryerman also released a mobile composite robot development platform in collaboration with AI Ecological Pioneer, the first open source including the robot multi-modal perception large model, action planning and decision-making large model, spatial mobility, robot arm control and execution of operations and other functions, and announced the establishment of the global GPR open source alliance.

peroration

IOM4.2 Founded in 2018, Rayman focuses on the research and development of ultra-lightweight humanoid robotic arms. The core members of the team are from the early robot technology research and development team in China, and they have been deeply engaged in this field for more than 10 years.

Such extreme prices are not unexpected for the current robotics industry. For robots to become truly widespread, the right answer is to strive to make robots extremely cost-effective tools.

Since the establishment of Ryman, it has carried the vision of allowing robotic arms to penetrate into all walks of life and the daily life of the public, which is also the original heart of the robot industry.

Since 2015, China’s local collaborative robot brand manufacturers began to emerge. With the continuous release of downstream demand and the influx of emerging manufacturers, the heat of the collaborative robot track continues to heat up, and many capitals have begun to pay attention to the collaborative robot track. However, the development of the collaborative robot market is not smooth sailing, and in the capital winter of 2023, the financing of the collaborative robot ontology field is experiencing unprecedented pressure.

However, danger and opportunity always coexist. The external environment has undergone great changes in the past two years, the global economy is facing many problems, the economic downturn has made some of the head enterprises in the traditional manufacturing industry reduce costs and increase efficiency, and the machine replacement has become a general trend. On the widening track, there are many entrants, the competition is more and more fierce, and the enterprises with absolute strength will be more and more strong.

The further maturity and mass of domestic parts, the rapid downward cost of the body, in order to rapidly develop the market, to achieve market share, low price strategy is not a good way.
