Youao Robot: Only by implementing applications and truly solving industry problems can we usher in a new outbreak

In recent years, the new industrial revolution has been in the ascendant, and the global manufacturing industry is moving towards a digital and intelligent era. How to promote the deep integration of intelligent production, improve quality, efficiency, and reduce costs, the Danish collaborative robot manufacturer Universal Robots (hereinafter referred to as "UR") uses its excellent robot platform to tell us about the development trend of future collaborative robots.
Forging iron also requires its own hardness, whether it is the CB3 series that was first popular globally and applicable to various industries - UR3, UR5, UR10; The e-series, which pursues ultimate productivity, accuracy, and reliability - UR3e, UR5e, UR10e, UR16e; The new product UR20, which subverts imagination and redefines collaborative robots to achieve a large load of 20KG and a working radius of 1750mm, while achieving a repetitive positioning accuracy of ± 0.05mm, all demonstrate that the Youao collaborative robot is creating various possibilities in various industries with advantages such as flexible deployment, simple and convenient, safe collaboration, and fast investment recovery.
AMR+robotic arm, composite collaborative robot enables 1+1>2

Meeting market demand and addressing industry pain points. With the diversification of product requirements at the C-end and the increasing complexity of manufacturing processes within factories, the demand for flexibility in automation equipment at the B-end is also more urgent. Compared to the single function of AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) and robotic arms, composite collaborative robots that combine the characteristics of both are clearly more advantageous.

AMR can form a composite mobile collaborative robot by pairing it with UR collaborative robot arms and related components. The cooperative robot arm serves as the "hand" function, while the AMR serves as the "leg" function. Combined with functional components such as grippers and cameras, the robot can conveniently and flexibly shuttle through designated areas to perform tasks such as detection, insertion, grasping, and stacking. This not only ensures the quality and safety of raw materials during operation, but also further reduces labor costs, improves efficiency, and truly achieves a 1+1>2 effect.

For example, in the semiconductor industry, manual transportation of expensive wafers is cumbersome and fragile. If the UR16e collaborative robot installed on AMR is used, it is flexible and compact, and can handle a payload of 16 kilograms, achieving a good balance between payload and small footprint, safe and reliable. The reason for this combination is that industrial robots have a certain degree of danger and require protective fences on the AMR, which greatly restricts the working space; Secondly, the AMR power supply uses a charging power supply, which requires that the robot's power consumption should not be too high, and the UR16e with high load and low energy consumption becomes the best choice. In addition, with the disappearance of demographic dividend, compound cooperative robots can effectively reduce repetitive labor and help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency.
UR+solution to meet the needs of different application scenarios

The "14th Five Year Plan for the Development of the Robot Industry" points out that expanding the depth and breadth of application, promoting robot system integrators to focus on specific scenarios and production processes in specific fields, and developing advanced, applicable, and easy to promote system solutions. Empowering manufacturing in China with industry standard solutions, UR launched the "UR+Solution" in 2022, providing flexible and targeted automation experiences to end users.

In the global market, UR has a series of mature standard solutions, such as tightening application solutions - robots can complete screw insertion, loosening inspection, and detection while tightening screws, which can further improve the tightness of screw tightening; Metal processing application solutions - in foreign countries, one robot is used to control one machine tool, while in China, one robot controls two machine tools, saving costs while building digital factories; Medical application solutions - Medical devices pay more attention to stability, assist in path planning, and "small" and "safer" are the biggest advantages of collaborative robot solutions.

At the same time, UR also has some developing application solutions, such as composite robot application solutions that can be applied to fields such as machining and semiconductors. The company has received good related orders in the early stage, and through continuous optimization and upgrading, it will have greater market potential in the future. It is worth mentioning that the UR welding application scheme is favored abroad and in Hong Kong, China. Stable outdoor welding quality and optimized welding environment have been applied in many key projects, such as Taikoo Shing Phase II, Huangzhukeng Metro Station, New Emergency Hospital in Kai Tak Development Zone, the three runway system of Hong Kong International Airport, and the reconstruction of Guanghua Hospital.

A standard solution that meets the usage needs of different application scenarios and is easy to configure and use has ultimately become an important decision-making factor for end users to choose UoAo robots, and is also becoming a new driving force for UoAo China's business growth.

Wu Junbo, the sales manager of Youao Robotics in the South and Southwest regions, stated that the current market volume of collaborative robots is not large and may not achieve explosive growth in the short term. However, with the policy orientation and capital entry in China in recent years, people are eager to achieve good results in the field of collaborative robots. Throughout, UR has always been closely focused on customer insight driven innovation, committed to developing and solving applications based on industry practical problems, enabling specific application solutions to truly and effectively implement, and continuously empowering the industry's "intelligent" development. We believe that only in this way can we usher in a new outbreak of the collaborative robot market.
