Chapter 589 Successfully Developed Intelligent Industrial Robot

The next day, it was still dark.

The two little guys got up in a hurry, came to the door of their parents' room together, and knocked on the door together.

"Dad, Ma Ma, wake up!"

Knocked on the door twice, but didn't hear an answer, raised his head and shouted at the lintel of the Xiaobai system, and the Xiaobai system replied "Sorry, little master, this is not within the scope of my authority".

Xiaoxi pulled the backpack strap on her back and muttered: "Brother, why are mom and dad sleeping late? Xiaobai is ignoring us again, really."

Under normal circumstances, if they call Xiaobai to open the door, the door can be opened automatically, and the doors at home can be intelligently controlled.

It was the first time she was rejected by the door, and unexpectedly, Xiaobai would not open the door for them. She wrinkled her little nose in anger, folded her arms on her chest, and showed a very angry expression: "Xiaobai, I don't love you anymore! "

However, Xiaobai replied: "My little master, whether you love me or not, I will love you as always. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Can you open the door for me?"

"Sorry, it's five twenty-seven in the morning, and it's not yet time for the master to get up. This is beyond my authority."

Hearing this very official sentence, Xiaoxi clenched her silver teeth and pointed at the camera on the lintel: "I'm so mad, I don't love you anymore, Xiaobai!"

Xiaobai's housekeeper system is very smart, so he didn't respond to Xiaoxi at all.

But Xiaoxi couldn't help it, and kicked the wall next to her to vent her emotions.

"Sister, didn't we get up early?" Xiao Fan who was standing next to him rubbed his eyes. He was woken up by his sister lifting the quilt, but thinking of the first day of school today, he was very excited.

The two nannies who hid in the door and watched from a distance couldn't help laughing when they saw the children's behavior and conversations, so they had to cover their mouths to prevent the children from finding them.

Hey, from now on, madam and husband will have a hard time, it's only past five o'clock, and they usually get up close to seven o'clock.

I hope to toss for a few days, maybe the child will return to normal after the excitement.

As nannies, as long as the child is not harmed or has potential harm, they cannot interfere and must let the child be independent. They are nannies, but they are also highly educated, but they are a little older.

In Mu Mansion, they saw a very smart smart housekeeper.

"It's getting late, it's almost dawn, maybe other students get up earlier than us, we can't let the students laugh at us behind. Dad promised us to send us to school on the first day, and then we have to walk by ourselves " Xiao Xi muttered, then continued to raise her right hand and slammed on her parents' door.

Mu Yang, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up when he heard the knock on the door. When he heard a child calling, he had to get up frowning. Seeing that his wife was still sleeping, he was embarrassed to wake up the family system for fear of affecting his wife's rest.

I had no choice but to pull on the slippers quickly, walk out of the bedroom, came to the living room of the suite, opened the door of the room, and saw the two little guys had already put on their school uniforms, carried their schoolbags, stared at him with four big eyes, and suddenly showed innocent and bright faces. smile.

When Mu Yang saw this, he couldn't vent his anger.

"Dad, we're going to school now. If we don't go, we'll be late!" Xiaoxi saw her father open the door and pull the hem of his clothes, with a wicked smile on her face, completely different from the angry look just now.

Mu Yang rubbed his eyes, a little speechless, he slept late at night, looked out of the living room window, it was just dawn, probably around five o'clock.

"Xiaobai, what time is it?" Mu Yang asked casually.

"Master, it's five thirty in the morning!"

When Mu Yang heard the answer, it really was, why did these two little guys get up so early, the school starts at 8 o'clock, and the home is not far from the school.

If it was his age, it would be about this time to get up and prepare for breakfast.

Mu Yang originally wanted to tell his children that they don't need to wake up so early, but after thinking about it, it is also a good thing to go to bed early and wake up early, so that they will not sleep late in the future.

Going to bed at 9:30 in the evening and getting up at 5:00 is a little early.

Mu Yang saw that the children had changed into their school uniforms and carried their schoolbags. It seemed that they were well prepared, so he had to ask:

"Have you both rinsed and brushed your teeth?"

"It's ready! Dad, why don't you and mom get up yet? We agreed to send us to school on the first day."

"Okay, okay, you guys go downstairs and wait for breakfast. Dad has to rinse his mouth and brush his teeth first." Mu Yang patted the two little guys on the back, and when he saw the kids leave, he turned back into the room, shook his Wake up the sleeping daughter-in-law.

"Daughter-in-law, the children are up, please ask us to send them to school."

Song Xuelu didn't open her eyes and was still a little sleepy. She woke up Xiaobai and asked the time, and when she realized it was only half past five, she muttered, "I don't think it's dawn yet, why did you get up so early!"

"I guess I went to school the day before. I'm so excited. It will be fine in a few days."

"Hey, it's too much trouble." Song Xuelu had no choice but to bite the bullet and get up.

Ten minutes later, Mu Yang, his wife and the child ate breakfast in a leisurely manner, and told the child about the school time and the appropriate time to get up.

After breakfast, let the children do the dishes, it's just dawn.

After breakfast, Song Xuelu told the children some knowledge, and Mu Yang went for a walk.

At about seven o'clock, Mu Yang and his wife sent their children to school.

The home is not far from the company's primary school, about seven or eight hundred meters, so walking slowly is like a walk.

As long as you live in the Xinghai Park, the school recommends that no matter it is windy or rainy, try to let your children go to school on foot instead of taking a car, so as to prevent your children from developing a pampered temperament.

Therefore, Mu Yang also tried his best to let the children walk to school, and did not allow bodyguards to send them off.

Today is the first day of school for the children, and he promised to send them there. From now on, the children will have to go by themselves, and the bodyguards will follow them from a distance at most.

The family members of the company employees passing by will greet Mu Yang respectfully when they see Mu Yang's family of four.

"Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu, good morning."

"It's early for you too."

When returning to the family park during non-working hours, the company stipulates that it is forbidden to call the superiors and subordinates for relationship, prohibit the management from ordering subordinates to do some non-working things during non-working hours, and prohibit employees from visiting the management to seek connections.

This is Mu Yang's meaning. He believes that after get off work, the relationship between colleagues should be equal. After all, everyone lives in the same community and sees each other every day.

That's okay, Xinghai Group doesn't pay attention to hierarchy, and the management also knows that the chairman hates doing that very much, so the management also pays attention to the relationship between themselves and their subordinates. If they think that they are in a high position and bully their subordinates, it is probably not far from getting out.

Mu Yang’s child is early-witted, vaguely aware that his father is in the top management of the company, and the family members just told the child, “Your father is a scientist, so everyone respects him” instead of “Your father is the chairman of the board, so everyone is afraid of him”.

After more than ten minutes, the family of four came to the gate of the school, and Mu Yang stopped entering the school.

A few days ago, grandparents had brought their children to register for school and recorded their children's information.

The school does not welcome parents into the school, and hopes that children can solve problems independently. The teachers also do not like the hierarchical relationship among children based on the leadership level of their parents, and prohibit children from comparing each other.

This is the philosophy of the Xinghai Group School. The parents of the children who can go to school here are all high-level intellectuals, and a very small number of them are from working-class families.

Because there are not many workers at the Xinghai Group headquarters base, and most of them are scientific researchers.

In terms of education, the children of workers and the children of scientific researchers go to the same school and are treated equally.

The workers are also basically college graduates or technical school graduates. They are generally young and most of them are not married, so very few of them have children who have gone to school.

The school is inside, and outsiders cannot come in, so parents don't have to worry about safety.

Mu Yang and his wife sent their children to school, and when they got home, they planned to catch up on sleep, but they were really sleepy.

"Hey, these two little guys are too much trouble!"

"Husband, you might be like this on your first day of school, haha."

"It's about the same, but not so early."

Mu Yang took half an hour to catch up on sleep, and went to the company after waking up.

Now that I am close to home, I occasionally go home to have dinner with my family at noon.

Xinghai Park is very large and has complete living facilities. Like Mu Yang's family, they haven't left the park for a long time.

After the family moved to the Mu Mansion, they found a new circle of their own.

Muyang’s grandparents were not used to it at first, but after a long time, they felt pretty good. They planted vegetables in the vegetable garden, wandered around, or went to the Xinghai Group’s farm to find something to do, or wandered around to watch young people play. , Children do not need them to bring.

Mu Yang's father prefers to go out and play golf with like-minded peers for several years.

Mu Yang's mother prefers to stay at home and watch dramas, or learn to dance square dance by herself.

The family has become much younger. There is a cook at home to cook meals, and Grandma Muyang occasionally intervenes by herself.

Mu Yang's mother-in-law occasionally comes to City H to stay for a few days to see her grandson, and then returns to her hometown.

the next day,

Just as Mu Yang went to work and sat down to drink a cup of tea, Wang Hai, the vice president of technology, reported to him that the intelligent industrial robot developed by the robotics laboratory of the Intelligent Manufacturing Institute had been successfully developed.

"Oh, it's pretty fast." Mu Yang was slightly surprised.

"It's thanks to the chairman's solution to the problem of the intelligent system." Wang Hai smiled, not to mention flattering the chairman, it was true.

"Okay, come with me to have a look. If possible, we can optimize and improve the company's industrial robots. The cost is a bit higher, but for us, this is the only way to go." Mu Yang said.

Last year, he held an intelligent robot scientific research conference, and ordered the development of intelligent industrial robots, home assistants and factory assistants.

Normally, the price of an arc welding industrial robot with a 6-axis load of 6KG is only a few hundred thousand yuan if it is equipped with an arc welding machine.

However, in order to achieve the intelligent industrial robots mentioned by Mu Yang, machine vision and artificial intelligence need to be added.

Machine vision is more complicated, including vision algorithms, vision equipment, industrial cameras, vision systems, image sensors, vision software, vision lenses, and light source equipment. Adding a set of machine vision, as required by Xinghai Group, increases the price by more than ten or two One hundred thousand is required.

General factories are reluctant to spend this money, and it is not easy to apply it. If it can't create huge benefits, most bosses are unwilling to install it.

Mu Yang has a reason to develop intelligent industrial robots.

For normal welding robot welding, each weld seam needs to be set with safety points, arc starting points, transition points, arc ending points, and safety points.

If a workpiece has more than a dozen welds, the workload of the teaching work is very heavy, and it is estimated that it will take 2-4 hours. This is a big problem, that is, the efficiency is low.

Maybe this is nothing, if the workpiece is not standard or the fixture design is not good, like gas shielded welding, as long as the weld bead error of the workpiece is greater than 3 mm, the welding quality will be poor. If it is laser welding, the error is greater than 0.5 mm. Fa Shi welded.

Assembly line production is very dependent on the standards of fixtures and workpieces, which is the second big problem.

The third big problem is the problem of human-computer interaction. Many workers are accidentally hit by robots during operation, or due to improper clamping, robots hit guns and damage the equipment.

In addition to the above three major problems, there is also that in the future, if a manufacturing base is built on the moon or other planets, the labor cost will be very high, which makes it very necessary to develop intelligent industrial robots.

Mu Yang's final request is that if it is an arc welding robot, it does not need to be taught manually, and does not need to transmit drawings to indicate the welding seam requirements. It only needs to briefly mention the requirements, and the robot can adjust the appropriate process parameters by itself according to the workpiece it has photographed. Welding, including how thick to weld, whether to pay attention to the temperature between layers, and whether to weld continuously.

Of course, if the robot is out of welding consumables, the wearing parts are damaged, or the welding consumables are changed, people still need to maintain or replace them.

Based on the current technology, it is very difficult for industrial robot manufacturers to meet their final requirements.

Mu Yang felt that his company had reached the technical level, so he could try to do it.

After a while, he and Wang Hai came to the robot laboratory.

An arc welding robot with a load of 6KG is installed on site. The robot's servo system, reducer, control system and welding machine are all produced by Xinghai Group.

At present, Xinghai Group's arc welding robots and laser welding robots have dominated the world. Robots such as handling, spraying, and assembly also occupy some markets, but the market share is not large.

Mu Yang never thought of occupying too much market share in the field of industrial robots, as long as the foundation is laid, and then develop towards higher-level intelligent robots.

The value per kilogram of industrial robots is not high, far inferior to other products of the company.

From next year, Muyang intends to reduce the production capacity of industrial robots, only meet its own needs, and authorize related technologies other than the control system to domestic manufacturers for production.

To sell a robot, it takes a lot of time to send people to guide, install, and even post-service, and the profit is not big. For Xinghai Group, which has extremely high labor costs, it is not worthwhile.

Unless, sell high-end products.

Mu Yang walked around the arc welding robot in front of him, and at the same time asked what external parts they installed.

After a while, I roughly understood that the hardware includes industrial cameras, vision systems, image sensors, vision lenses, light source equipment, lidar, gratings, etc.

It is inconvenient to install these visual devices on the arc welding robot, otherwise the welding will be interfered and the welding space will be limited.

In general, these vision devices are installed on the fourth and fifth axes of the robot.

The Xinghai Group's plan is to install these vision devices on the shelf next to the industrial robot, without affecting welding, and requires that all images of the workpiece must be captured.

The method of intercepting the image of the workpiece is not static interception, but the static + motion method.

"Demonstrate the operation." Mu Yang said the request.

The staff nodded, first pressed the "start" of the vision system, and then moved a few steel plates of different thicknesses from the ground and placed them on the workbench at random, and pressed the "start" button, and the industrial robot started to move with six axes. The idle speed is only 15%. If it is a 1-axis, it will rotate about a dozen degrees in 1 second. The range is not large. If a gun collision is about to occur, the personnel can respond by pressing the "emergency stop" button.

If it is turned to 100%, it can rotate more than 90 degrees in one second. If a person is hit, it must be seriously injured.

At the moment when he carried the workpiece and when the workpiece was still, the vision system had already captured the 3D shape of the workpiece instead of taking pictures when it was still.

If the photo is taken when the workpiece is still, the dead angle of the workpiece may not be photographed, which will affect the reading shape.

Next, the robot selects the appropriate motor movement and angle change, the welding torch approaches the weld bead, the contact tip is about 15mm away from the workpiece surface, walks at a slow speed, and returns to the original position after walking.

At the same time, the program is displayed on the teaching and display screen, displaying the serial number, 6-axis position, welding parameters, speed and other parameters.

Seeing this, Mu Yang probably understood what it meant, and asked: "There are 12 welds in total. If I want to cancel a certain weld, can I cancel a certain line of procedure?"

The staff said: "Yes, it has memory and can form a new trajectory. The welding parameters are actually based on the welding system, but if there is a problem with the quality, it can be adjusted automatically instead of manually.

Of course, if the drawing is delivered to the robot, the robot can also recognize the weld mark on the drawing for automatic welding, but it is not so convenient. "

"Well, let's try welding." Mu Yang quickly understood that some things were designed by him.

Their industrial robots have integrated various technologies such as VR, AI, and intelligent navigation, so that they have powerful anthropomorphic execution capabilities, and also have a built-in automatic learning system that can learn new actions in continuous actions, such as , when the robot is preparing to weld a weld, if it encounters some obstacles during the operation, it can avoid it;

When it is about to hit a person, it will stop immediately, and it will continue to work after the person leaves, but if there is still a safety hazard, it will continue to pause.

The staff heard the chairman's words, and then pressed the "start" button.

The robot's idling speed jumps directly to 80%, and it walks faster.

When the welding torch reaches the weld bead, it starts to weld, emits a dazzling white light, and emits a "sizzling" sound at the same time, indicating that the welding is good.

Mu Yang picked up the prepared protective cover to observe the welding situation.

"We use mixed gas welding instead of CO2 and pulse welding." The staff explained beside.

"Well, I know, I can hear it from the sound, and I can tell it from the arc." Mu Yang said with a smile.

Wang Hai explained on the side: "The chairman is a welding expert, I guess you don't know much about it yet."

"Understood, I forgot." The debugging staff smiled awkwardly.

After about a few minutes, the soldering is complete.

Mu Yang looked at it, and found that the weld was perfect, and praised: "Not bad, let's have a look at another welding, different workpieces, also placed randomly."

If it is a general industrial robot, it must be the same workpiece, and it must be placed in the same position, that is, it needs to be clamped by a tooling fixture.

Now, Xinghai Group's intelligent industrial robots don't need to do that, they are very casual, and their work efficiency is very high.

After another few minutes, the welding was perfect without any abnormality.

Next, Mu Yang went on to inspect other performances and intelligence of the robot, and felt that they all met his requirements. He asked to apply it in a welding group in the workshop and continue to observe.

If there are no major problems, it can be widely used in all industrial robots of the company.
