599 Robot Experiments (1)

On the stone bench on the side of the tree-lined path outside the research center building of the Northeast Institute of Automation, a pair of middle-aged men and women are looking at each other, and the eyes of both parties are flashing with sparks, which are generated by eye contact.

It's not a clash of firewood!

Please don't think crookedly.

This is not a young man and woman who are in a relationship looking at each other with expressions.

Of course, it's not that lovers who are about to part ways look at each other angrily with eyes that want to kill each other.

"Senior Sister Deng, if you have something, please hurry up and say it, it's time to go to work!" Qu Daokui was still defeated after looking at Deng Lanqing, and reluctantly said to this little junior sister when he was engaged in robot research in the Open Laboratory of Robotics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

If there is no Yunfei, there is no Jiuyi Research Institute, China's largest civil comprehensive research institute of mechanical and electronics, perhaps in December 1993 as a visiting scholar from the Saarland University of Germany Electronic Technology System Theory Laboratory, engaged in the application of neuronal networks in robotics after returning from the research on the application of neuronal networks in robots, in January 1994 became the Northeast Institute of Automation (National Engineering Research Center for Robotics) of the Robot Development Department of Qu Daokui, is already the first person in China's robot research.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world.

Deng Lanqing's talent in mechanical automation is at least much stronger than Qu Daokui. Especially after graduating from the postdoctoral fellowship, he entered the Jiuyi Research Institute and followed Sun Lin and Situ Heyun to practice the application of various mechanical automation in CNC equipment.

CNC equipment is the most basic robot, and at the same time, it is also the most high-end robot. It's just that it can't move like a robot.

Intelligent robots with powerful functions are the inevitable direction of the development of CNC equipment.

Although the Chinese Academy of Sciences has a special robotics research laboratory, in addition to related majors such as mechanical automation. There are very few universities that offer courses dedicated to the design and manufacture of robots.

At present, in the whole country, only Rongcheng University, which has in-depth cooperation with Jiuyi Research Institute, has opened a robotics major.

"Senior brother, I need your help......" Women who are highly educated and engaged in scientific research often have an intellectual beauty that makes people's hearts palpitate.

However, this intellectual beauty cannot be seen in Deng Lanqing's body.

Many people in Jiuyi Heavy Industry are doubting whether Deng Lanqing is a woman.

Typical female paper!

"You're not at the Ninety-One Research Institute? It is said that you are about to become the director of the largest private research institute in the country? Congratulations! Qu Daokui had long known the intention of his little junior sister.

But. But he couldn't follow her.

He has his own dreams.

Therefore, after hiding from Deng Lanqing for several days, Zhilu Dao really couldn't avoid the woman who was squatting outside his dormitory and the card research building every day, so he planned to meet him.

A few days ago, Yun Fei, the boss of the Jiuyi Research Institute, personally invited him to the Jiuyi Research Institute. He politely refused.

As a result, as soon as Yun Fei left, Deng Lanqing appeared.

How could he not know what he meant?

"After all these years of hard work. Our team has overcome a number of technologies such as the open architecture of the robot controller, high-precision interpolation algorithm, multi-axis coordinated control, and sensor-based real-time control. Our robots have initially had the foundation for the development of control and management techniques for industrial robot production lines, and I really need your help! "Women, but they don't know how to be gentle, and at the same time, they don't know how to be tactful!

Before coming. The boss Yun Fei also told this woman, who was already in her thirties, that she had no partner, and she must make a request tactfully.

As a result, under Qu Daokui's lukewarm reaction, she was very hurt.

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Lan Qing. I can't help you enough! The state has groomed me, and I should do it for the country, not for private bosses! "The cut is continuous, and the rationalization is still messy.

Everyone's time is precious.

Qu Daokui also refused Deng Lanqing's request untactfully.

Perhaps, the Jiuyi Research Institute can provide better research conditions, more research funds, and more researchers than the national laboratory, but he is unwilling to serve the private elderly. Even if you want to leave the research institute, you should start your own business instead of working for a private boss.

Working for a private boss, all your achievements will not belong to you!

"For what?" Deng Lanqing didn't expect that this senior brother of hers would reject him so simply.

In the end, Deng Lanqing didn't get any reason why he would be rejected.

Once, he had a crush on this senior brother who was very devoted to robot research, and he was looking forward to meeting again all the time.

Such a meeting, but it is better not to see, at least, to leave some thoughts.

"Master, he refused to come to Rongcheng!" Deng Lanqing, who returned to Rongcheng, faced the gray-haired Edyin, the tutor in the National Robotics Open Laboratory, and said aggrievedly.

The old man sighed, patted Deng Lanqing's shoulder, and didn't say anything.

"He didn't know how much progress we had made, and even, he didn't want to listen to my briefing, so he directly refused......"

"It's okay, even the boss hasn't done it, what can you do? He doesn't want to come here, he has his own ideas. We can't force it. In this regard, you are lucky. Because of your innocence back then, you were fooled by Yun Fei's kid to the Jiuyi Research Institute. Otherwise, you can't go far on this road......" It wasn't until after he retired that he received a joint invitation from Sun Lin and Situ Heyun, coupled with the request of his own student who had been with him for several years, that he came to the Jiuyi Research Institute with the mentality of trying.

It wasn't until the Jiuyi Research Institute that it discovered that this private research institute had gone to the forefront of the whole country in many fields of research.

For Yun Fei, a rising star, many of its industries have been able to go ahead of their domestic counterparts, and they have risen rapidly in just a few years, and many people who have come to Jiuyi Research Institute have not had the slightest surprise.

Such a research institute with less than 1,000 researchers invests hundreds of millions of dollars in research every year, which is unmatched by research institutes in any country. Moreover, as long as they do research in it, they don't have to think about anything at all, everything, there are special people to serve them.

Engage in research. It's just about doing research.

This kind of research institute is the place where it can produce results.

Only such a research institute is the place where research is really carried out.

"But if we can't produce results for a long time, I'm worried that the boss will cut off the research funds for our project...... "It's because the research of robots was fooled by Yun Fei."

In the past, most of the research was focused on the control of CNC equipment and the coordination of multi-axis linkage, but fortunately, CNC equipment and robots are interconnected in many technologies.

The production and control technology of CNC equipment is, in many ways, more complex than robots.

Currently, robots are used throughout the world. All you need to do is do a few simple actions.

Unlike CNC equipment, when the running program changes, there must be different movements......

"No, it won't. He knows better than us which projects are more important! Sun Lin: The unmanned flexible manufacturing system they have been working on, isn't the core also a robot! Ed Yin smiled.

This girl researching robots is simply a magic barrier.

In the newly built automation research center of the Jiuyi Research Institute, four CNC lathes are neatly placed around a three-level connected robot in the middle.

This robot. It is the latest robot developed by the robot research project of Jiuyi Research Institute for the flexible manufacturing system of the Institute, and the manipulator is made of two semi-circular clips of adjustable size.

And four CNC lathes surround it. All of them are fully hydraulic high-end automatic CNC lathes that are still in the test stage. The cost of each unit is more than 400,000 soft sister coins.

If the research of this project of Jiuyi Research Institute is successful, the production of those large quantities of small parts will no longer even need operators!

A robot that can rotate in all directions can replace ordinary operators and automatically complete the clamping and disassembly of processed parts under the control of the program. As long as there are no failures during operation. The efficiency of the entire manufacturing system can reach the highest level of design.

Robots don't have ups and downs like operators.

Equally. Robots also don't need to eat, drink, and rest......

"Old Sun, Situ, how's it going?" Ed Yin asked, Sun Lin and Situ Heyun, who were outside a few devices.

Today's first production test will definitely not be a direct success, which everyone knows.

But how many faults and problems can be found is what everyone cares about.

This project, so far, has cost more than 40 million research funds of the Institute, and the first set of samples has only now been produced.

"Hey, who is that, don't pile the material so high, the robot is not a human, he can't see that you pile the material so high for it!" Ed Yin couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he saw that the workers who were feeding the other party's materials on the automatic feeder were piling up the material trucks like ordinary workshop production.

This is the first experiment!

"Alas, Lao Ai, it seems that this logistics transport vehicle must also be designed to be automatic, otherwise there is no standard for workers to stack it, or it is not neat enough, and it is easy to ......have problems at the first time."

"yes, that's a problem. Xiao Deng, record the defects of the material truck first. When Edyin heard Situ Heyun's words, he thought it was true.

After the workers installed the material carts next to the four CNC cars and put them in a fixed position, Edyin took Deng Lanqing to check it again, and then walked to the side of the control computer and nodded to the young engineer in front of the computer.

"Retreat beyond the yellow line, and the automatic production test ......will start immediately," the safety officer next to him shouted at the engineers who were surrounding the flexible unit, holding up the red flag in his hand.

Even if there is a protective net outside, the safety system must still be enforced.

During the operation of the robot's robotic arm, no one is allowed to enter the range of the protective net, and must retreat outside the yellow line area within a few meters of the protective net.

The trajectory of the robot is recorded by high-definition cameras installed around the protective net.

As the young engineer in front of the computer tapped his fingers on the keyboard, the robot, which had been standing quietly in the middle of the four CNC lathes, began to move slowly.

And the protective door of the CNC lathe numbered one, under the control of the program, quickly retreats to the tail of the guide rail of the CNC car.

"Xiao Feng, adjust the speed to the slowest and control the program to run in a single stage...... the technique has been explained countless times before, but Edyin and the others are still worried that Feng Bao will not be able to remember.

The total cost of the four CNC cars in front of me and the seemingly simple one-armed robot in the middle, as well as the supporting special material vehicles, automatic transfer vehicles, etc., are more than three million.

The loss of money is not a problem, even if the robotic arm is broken and repaired, it will not cost much money, and the loss of time is the biggest loss.

"Slow down, point the camera at the manipulator, Xiao Feng, you slow down there, yes, yes, now you can see the manipulator's movements......" Because it is a test test, the control computer is very close to the tracking and monitoring computer.

In the screen of the monitoring computer, the manipulator slowly and mechanically opened two semi-circular calipers and stretched towards the ordinary steel rods with a diameter of 20 mm and a length of 80 mm that were neatly stacked on the material truck.

"Slow down, the computer is manually controlled, the No. 3 camera idea CNC car hydraulic chuck action, No. 2 monitoring position idea No. 1 machine parameters, once found that something is wrong, immediately stop ...... emergency" Several old men are more than seventy people, and the young Deng Lanqing has become the commander-in-chief.

The first time I tried it, everyone's hearts collapsed.

Originally, there should only be one console of the manufacturing system, in order to obtain detailed information, and to achieve more detailed monitoring, a total of four consoles were designed, one for heavy control, one for overall monitoring, and the remaining two for one to control two machines.

All of this is for the sake of testing.

For progress!

Four consoles, each with an emergency stop button, as long as the four people in the monitoring, any one of them finds a problem, press the emergency stop above, whether it is a CNC car, or a robot, will stop running.

That is to say, in this flexible system jointly designed by several older generations of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Deng Lanqing, the four CNC lathes that should have belonged to the independent CNC lathes and the intermediate robots, and even the material carts for transfer, are all a linkage whole.

Otherwise, if there is a problem with the CNC car, it is not a big deal, only one will be damaged, and if the robot has a problem, the four CNC cars may even be all damaged by the uncontrolled robot because of the problem.

This kind of thing is something that no one wants to see. (To be continued......)
