Exoskeleton robots from Micro-Nano Automation Research Institute unveiled at the 2019 Global Smart Logistics Summit
The 2019 Global Smart Logistics Summit was held on May 28 at Hangzhou International Expo Center. This global top-level logistics summit with the theme of "digitalization and acceleration" attracted industry experts from home and abroad to discuss the original intention and creation in the rapid change of the global logistics industry, and share how various models accelerate the industry's digitalization engine, logistics How does the digitalization of the supply chain drive the value enhancement of new retail and new manufacturing?
An industrial company incubated by the Micronano Automation Research Institute-Maibao Intelligent Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Maibao Intelligent Technology"), as an invited unit of the strategic partner Suning Logistics Group, participated in this summit. Debut for the first time the passive waist-assisted exoskeleton robot independently developed by the Institute and commercialized in Maibao Intelligent Technology. This "Wasp 2.0" power-assisted exoskeleton robot with a cool appearance like "Iron Man" weighs only 2.8kg, and the maximum power-assisted efficiency can reach 60%, which is convenient and flexible to use. After the wearer wears it, it can improve the high-intensity weight-bearing capacity of the core parts (such as the lower back) and core muscles (such as the lumbar erector spinae), effectively slowing down the fatigue speed of the working muscles, and protecting the waist muscles of the courier. Reduce energy consumption during human movement and improve work efficiency.
The "Wasp 2.0" exoskeleton robot can not only help logistics workers save physical effort, but the overall design is adapted to the human body, the fabric is comfortable, the heat dissipation is extremely strong, and it is easy to wear. "Wasp 2.0" through the sensor's movement information collection, combined with deep learning algorithms, can realize the quantitative analysis and fatigue assessment of the local muscle group energy consumption of the human body, and support cloud computing technology to provide dynamic data analysis and centralized information management.
At the summit site, "Wasp 2.0" attracted the attention of a large number of industry experts and customers and audiences.
"Wasp 2.0" is a waist passive power-assisted exoskeleton robot developed by the Micro-Nano Automation Research Institute and Suning Logistics Group for the repeated heavy mechanical labor of Suning Logistics front-line employees. During the peak period, a logistics worker bends at least 3,500 times, which has a great impact on the waist. The help of exoskeleton robots will reduce the labor intensity of front-line workers, form a new operation mode of "human-machine integration", and improve operation efficiency. Suning Logistics highly recognizes this and will soon launch large-scale production of exoskeleton robot equipment on the logistics line. Boosting exoskeleton robots will help the logistics industry accelerate the digitalization process and promote the sound and rapid development of the logistics industry.
The initial results of the cooperation between the Micro-Nano Automation Research Institute and Suning Logistics Group are the result of the seamless connection between industry needs and industrial technology research and development, and the integration and development of the industrial chain and the innovation chain. Micronano Automation Research Institute and its derivative company Maibao Intelligent Technology and Suning Logistics Group will further strengthen their cooperation in the future, jointly address the technical needs of the industry, establish a benign communication and conversion mechanism, realize technological innovation, enterprise innovation, industry innovation, and serve the province and even National logistics industry enterprises.
