PCI-6255 Landing situation: ABB and other leading manufacturers actively embrace industrial changes

Landing situation: ABB and other leading manufacturers actively embrace industrial changes The application of AI in the field of industrial robots is still in the exploration stage, enabling some intelligent recognition and intelligent programming links. ABB, for example, is empowering the e-commerce logistics sector with its AI-powered robotic item picker. According to Statista, global e-commerce…

PCI-4461 AI empowerment is expected to accelerate industrial change

AI empowerment is expected to accelerate industrial change Industry trend: Industrial robots are evolving towards embodied intelligence ChatGPT moves humans from in-the-loop to on-the-loop in a robotic process. Currently, robotic pipelines require a dedicated engineer to write code in-the-loop to improve the process. The introduction of ChatGPT can replace the human position in the loop,…

PCI-6601 IT Architecture: The role of software is expected to gradually increase

IT Architecture: The role of software is expected to gradually increase In the case of ABB, the industrial robot IT architecture is the base of the decision system. In the decision-making system of industrial robots, we see that the controller plays an important role in scheduling robot behavior and executing complex instructions. From the perspective…

DI811 3BSE008552R1 Decision level: The key to determining the performance of industrial robots

Decision level: The key to determining the performance of industrial robots The controller plays the role of “cerebellum” in the robot structure, which is the main factor to determine the robot performance. The controller receives the sensor information and generates the corresponding control command accordingly to control the robot to complete the action task. The…

DI814 3BUR001454R1 The “joint” of the robot – the reducer

The “joint” of the robot – the reducer The “joint” of the reducer robot is an intermediate device that connects the servo motor and the actuator. The reducer converts the power of the servo motor at high speed into the mechanical motion of low speed and high torque through the gear meshing to the actuator,…

DI820 3BSE008512R1 Robot “muscle” – servo system

Robot “muscle” – servo system The servo system is the “muscle” of the robot, an automatic control system that can precisely follow or reproduce a process. The server system consists of a driver, a drive motor, a servo encoder and supporting software. Servo drive control servo motor, its role is to convert the control signal…

DI885 Perception layer: The initial source of information for industrial robots

Perception layer: The initial source of information for industrial robots The sensor is the “sensing organ” of the robot and the information source for the robot to interact with the environment and move accurately. The sensor is used to sense and collect various information, and converts the measured information into useful signals that are easy…

DI890 IT architecture is the core of intelligence, and the importance of software is expected to gradually increase

IT architecture is the core of intelligence, and the importance of software is expected to gradually increase Industrial robot industry chain: It can be divided into three parts: upstream core parts, midstream robot ontology and software, and downstream system integration and application. Upstream core components include sensor, controller, reducer, servo system, sensor is mainly divided…

SD823 3BSC610039R1 Driving force: population supply contraction and downstream demand release drive industry growth

Driving force: population supply contraction and downstream demand release drive industry growth The aging of the population leads to the rise of labor costs, and machines are the trend of The Times. Fertility rates around the world have been declining for years, and the proportion of people aged 15-64 in China has fallen to 68.3…

SD832 3BSC610065R1 Market status: Stable growth market occupied by the “four big families”

Market status: Stable growth market occupied by the “four big families” The scale of the industrial robot market is growing steadily, and the global new installed capacity is growing rapidly. According to IFR data, 517,000 new industrial robots were installed worldwide in 2021, an increase of 31.2% year-on-year, and a compound growth rate of 12.0%…
