WRC 2023 - China's largest robot exhibition | Robots and technologies at the exhibition in China

[Music] the world robot conference 2023 was held in Beijing which became the largest in its history seven days instead of the usual four 45 000 square meters more than 160 companies and more than 600 robots almost 60 of which were presented to the public for the first time in addition more than 300 international experts came to Beijing after the lifting of anti-cowboy restrictions what struck out film crew most of all at the exhibition was the great variety of humanoids and bionic robots which quite predictably became the main hit of the exposition but first things first [Music] thank you according to Shin gobin China has been first in the world in terms of robot sales for 10 years and the country accounts for more than half of global sales of industrial robots already today in China there are 392 industrial robots per 10 000 workers and this is a very very good indicator [Music] the first visitors to the Expedition are greeted by robots that copy famous Chinese poets Libo and dufu reciting their works the Dalian company X robots which specializes in research in the field of intelligent humanoids and the creation of hyper-realistic bionic robots is responsible for such performances every year at the exhibition the bartender robot which fully reproduces the appearance of one of the company's employees attracted a lot of public attention the robot's movements were quite smooth his facial expression was constantly changing and as it turned out his double is already working in one of the bars in Kum Ming in order to demonstrate the effective work of the joints created by them ex-robots brought a robot performing the dance a thousand Guan Yin of course compared to the Elegance of the original it is still far off but the softness and synchronization of the robot's movements are impressive the developers believe that this technology can be developed and further used as prosthetic hands the company is already seriously thinking about creating robot doppelgangers for everyone the appearance of this robot is copied from one of our colleagues we made it so that the expression of his face is copied on the robot in essence we've created a robot doppelganger for example if I want to participate in many activities I can use robots instead of myself for example I'm a teacher and I'm going to lecture to students I can place the robot in different classrooms and all the students can see me during the lecture the company is currently working on making robots as perceptually capable as humans that is able to see hear touch and smell according to ex-robot employees robots will definitely have the ability to perceive their environment in the future as well as the ability to express emotions I think that the development of Technology will change a lot every day the coexistence of humans and robots will be inevitable in the future but I don't think we should be afraid of anything the most important thing is that we should learn to live with robots because they can help us solve many Industrial and domestic problems they can help us take care of children and the elderly they can help us wash and cook they can come to our Aid robots will be human Partners in the future I think this is an inevitable development trend foreign [Music] [Applause] robotics delighted visitors to the show last year with a mass dance of 130 robots and this year with an absolute novelty in the form of uni tree H1 humanoid robot and the go-to robot dog which is relatively accessible to the general consumer the unitary claims to have spent only six months building the H1 robot which was made possible by utilizing systems already proven on robot dogs the company believes that their humanoid robot is set to start a new Industrial Revolution from the main characteristics height of almost 180 centimeters weight of about 50 kilograms maximum joint torque of 360 newton meters 3D lidar plus depth camera walking at a speed of more than 1.5 meters per second and the ability to run the company notes that combined with the versatile AI the robot's range of applications could be expanded in both industrial and service sectors we just under unveiled our new H1 humanoid robots and we want to use it in the industry in the next three to ten years we want to help improve industrial production unitary robotic is a leading developer of quadruped robots in the company itself cites its main advantage over similar products from competitors as the independent development of almost all key components including Motors gearboxes controllers laser Radars and manipulators which allows for a high level of performance at a reasonable cost the most affordable robot talk model on the market from uni tree will be go 2 whose price starts from 1 600 even the most basic robot is equipped with 4D lidar making go-to sensor system 200 better than the previous version gotu also provides a new human robot interaction

risky working environments all of the company's robot dogs can be used for monitoring at industrial and other facilities conducting inspections and participating in search and rescue operations [Music] thank you dreams anthropomorphic Barista robot was partially responsible for serving the guests at the exhibition the developers note that a humanoid robot is a barista is much more impressive than the robotic arms programmed for the same action which have recently become commonplace at events not only can a humanoid robot make a coconut latte or a pumpkin Raff but can also interact with humans at the same time there are a lot of uncertainties in its work from its position in space to the trajectory of its movements which requires more intelligence the robotic Barista weighs 56 kilograms at a height of 178 centimeters and has 44 degrees of freedom it's equipped with a high specific power motor a depth camera an advanced control algorithm and numerous sensors as well as the ability to create 3D models of the room dream also makes commercial food delivery robots robotic pool cleaners and robotic dogs for example the dream dog which easily won the hearts of young visitors to the exhibition the cost of such a dog which can work for an hour without recharging is 50 to 60 3000 to n or about seven to eight thousand dollars the dog is designed to act like a pet in response to stroking can dance and play music bark bow give a poor Stomp and spin around on the spot and dream dogs built-in emotion system can understand commands and gestures learn movements and help with learning as for the humanoids the company believes they will start showing up in people's homes within 10 years the popularity of WRC this year is a reflection of the overall state of the robotics industry in China shingo bin Deputy minister of industry and infirmatization of the People's Republic of China told the conference that in 2022 its operating income exceeded 23.5 million dollars the production of industrial robots grew more than 20 to 440 000 units and the output of service robots reached 6.5 million units in 2023 the growth continues in the first half of the year the country produced 222 000 units of industrial robots up 5.4 percent year on year and 3.5 million service robots an immediate 9.6 increase over the same period in 2022 Chinese developer of humanoid service robots and facial recognition systems Cloud Minds Technologies agrees with these predictions this year the company showed a darn show of the cloud Ginger XL1 series of service robots which have already proven themselves on the market and also presented its latest development the purple humanoid robot the robot runs on the harrix OS operating system with an integrated robot GPT model as well as Innovative flexible joint technology the robot is 165 centimeters tall weighs 65 kilograms and is built from lightweight and high strength Composite Materials this is our purple bipedal humanoid robot we wanted to enter our homes in the future taking care of the elderly and doing housework we would also like to see these robots appear in factories to replace assembly workers the robot is scheduled to be officially released in 2024 with mass production launching in 2025. these robots will be working with people so safety is very important the robot's Drive is equipped with flexible sensors to gather information about the environment and people so that nothing is destroyed and no one is hurt this is a very important technology we use in our robots the company also told the conference that it's working on a universal Cloud brain for robots to which any machine can be connected thanks to it humanoid and other robots will be able to navigate in space recognize objects and perform complex tasks with them moving on another humanoid robot on display was the gr1 from Fourier intelligence with a height of 165 centimeters and a weight of 55 kilograms the robot can move at a maximum speed of about 5 kilometers per hour and copy various human movements it has 44 degrees of freedom and can carry a load of up to 5 kilograms in one hand the battery life without recharging is designed to last 45 minutes the robot is designed to be used in a variety of scenarios including research and education to assist in Rehabilitation and in inspections and to participate in performances and exhibitions the company expects to begin mass production and delivery of humanoid robots within a year or two conference participants and manufacturers agree that at this stage it is too early to talk about mass production of humanoid robots as a rule they're still at the stage of research development testing and Improvement and they're too costly in production and prohibitively expensive for the average citizen nevertheless according to a forecast by YH research the market for humanoid robots in China is expected to be worth about 21.9 billion dollars by 2025 and the China Electronics Institute predicts that by 2030 the anthropomorphic robot Market in China could already reach 870 billion un or 119.5 billion dollars UB Tech decided to please the visitors of the exhibition and presented some of the most spectacular and entertaining things at their Booth The Walker X Robot rode around the stage on a platform in the form of a Segway and the robot Panda shook hands opened the refrigerator and took selfies with a crowd of fans Walker X is 130 centimeters tall and weighs 63 kilograms it can walk at a maximum speed of 3 kilometers per hour climb stairs balance on one leg give massages play board games serve tea pour water bring objects water flowers and operate household appliances agreed it's an impressive list Walker X is also capable of recognizing faces gestures objects and other information all of this allows you to consider the robot as a home assistant or caregiver for now Walker X is mostly touring China participating in all sorts of exhibitions conferences sporting events and forums xiaomi showed off their cyberdog 2 robot Dogman weighing at just 8.9 kilograms and equipped with a specially designed cybergear micro motor

12 to 13.7 kilograms and the working time without recharging is 1.5 to 2 hours and the robot can also carry a load weighing up to 7.5 kilograms WRC participants name construction robots as one of the current trends in robotics for example the company data found in AI solution showed its puttying robot which can process 50 square meters of surface in an hour thanks to Smart sensors the robot unmistakably recognizes Door and Window openings and pauses the work the robot is already on the market and according to the developers its efficiency is six to seven times higher than that of a human another curious solution in construction was shared by Shanghai company Fab Union bringing its architectural 3D printer Master printer 2.0 to the exhibition it can print building structures furniture and decorative elements right on the construction site the machine is housed in a huge metal case that can be easily transported and on-site deployment and setup takes no more than two hours the weight of the equipment is 5 tons the maximum printing speed is 10 kilograms per hour and the maximum size of products in height length and width can reach 180 by 560 by 80 centimeters respectively thank you [Music] this year's exhibition showed that medical robotics is also not standing still in 2022 the market for medical robots in China was about 9 billion or about 1 billion 200 million dollars and by 2025 the figure is projected to reach more than 22 billion or about 3 billion dollars Shanghai micro Port medboard displayed several medical robots that are already in use in dozens of hospitals in various regions of China the two-mile laparoscopic surgical robot is a minimally invasive medical device consisting of a surgeon's console a patient cart and a cart with a screen the developers claim that the robot allows the surgeon to sit outside of the aseptic area to perform surgery which reduces the burden on the doctor as of June this year two mine has performed more than 1 000 surgeries including pelvic abdominal and thoracic surgeries these are very complex and challenging surgeries an important advantage of the to my device is that it supports 5G networks making it possible to perform complex surgeries over long distances today we also brought 5G equipment here you can see our mobile vehicle and mobile training platform with our 5G robots the company said that last June surgeons from a hospital in xinjiang uyghur autonomous region managed to successfully operate on patients at a hospital in the Eastern province of jiangsu despite being separated by 5000 kilometers shuri in turn introduced China's first fully developed single port laparoscopy surgical system in June this year the device was the first in the country to pass a special inspection procedure for Innovative medical devices and was authorized to enter the market by the national Medical Products administration of China its application is authorized for Urological surgery uls robotics demonstrated solutions for facilitating physical labor and reducing the risk of injuries at work by presenting several exoskeletons at its Booth the company originally developed exoskeletons to assist in Rehabilitation after severe injuries however it later decided to position its products as a tool to prevent injuries due to heavy lifting and is in the process of introducing its exoskeletons to businesses where there is a risk of injury the company does not aim to replace workers with its robots but instead aimed to help people keep their jobs health and desire to work beijing-based real man which develops ultralight robotic manipulators has not stayed away from the topic of medicine and health the company showed his robot which imitates the technique of a professional masseur and can even work around the clock at temperatures from zero to 50 degrees Celsius the area and effectiveness of the massage can be selected and adjusted using a touchscreen the programs include various application scenarios including the relief of nervous tension back shoulder and neck tension and Lumbar relaxation a manipulator with a special attachment will then perform the programmed massage session it was actually possible to check the effectiveness of such a massage right at the exhibition which some visitors willingly used agricultural robots are among the developments that definitely have a future several companies brought aggro robots and showed scenarios of their application including the already mentioned Cloud Minds Technologies this is our robot farmer designed for free picking as we know we are facing a labor shortage right now farm work is very hard and nobody in China wants to do it so I think there is a high need for these robots to replace humans in this kind of work the robots are equipped with special technology to analyze fruits allowing them to select and assess the degree of maturity after which a robot arm is guided to the selected fruit or vegetable and plugs it such a robot can work in temperatures ranging from 5 to 40 degrees Celsius and pick up to one ton of fruit in a day I believe this is a very big Market in China we say food is very important and this robot has a very big Market we have to make it agribot also presented interesting Solutions in the field of agricultural robots showing a robotic fruit and vegetable picker the company honestly admits that robots are still inferious to humans in terms of Spears but at the same time they can work around the clock without breaks for sleep and food on average the robot spends 10 seconds to pick one fruit using artificial intelligence image and video analysis Technologies to pick only ripe fruits according to the developers the cost of such robots will fall in the future and efficiency will improve industrial robots were also not ignored at the exhibition both adults and children watch the smooth work of the automobile welding robots CSI with curiosity the developer notes that Automotive spot welding is a high-tech application for industrial robots the new generation robots utilize the control system and software developed by the company and the welding efficiency has already reached an advanced International level a present about a hundred such robots are working in the factories of Chinese automakers China believes that robots are already deeply ingrained with new generation information technology their autonomy and adaptability have been greatly improved and their application scenarios are constantly expanding and they have penetrated all aspects of the economy and Society the robot industry is gradually approaching the point of radical change and a huge leap forward so it's safe to say this attention to the WRC will only grow over the years and its participants will not cease to pleasantly surprise the public and each other foreign
