Top 10 Potential Application Scenarios for Humanoid Robots

Loading, Unloading, and Material Handling

In industrial production and logistics warehouses, tasks involving low-precision loading/unloading and the handling of lightweight, small-sized materials are often highly repetitive, physically demanding, and inefficient. Humanoid robots, equipped with agile manipulators, precise gripping functions, and mobility, can work in coordination with automated production line control systems and warehouse management systems to carry out loading and unloading operations aligned with production cycles, efficiently transferring materials across shelving zones. This significantly enhances the operation of production lines and the efficiency of logistics flow.

2. Automotive Manufacturing

Sorting and Material Allocation

汽車(chē)制造涉及零部件種類(lèi)繁多，傳統(tǒng)人工分揀配料易出現(xiàn)錯(cuò)漏且效率偏低。人形機(jī)器人通過(guò)精準(zhǔn)視覺(jué)識(shí)別系統(tǒng)分辨不同型號(hào)物料，依托靈活機(jī)械手臂完成抓取放置，并對(duì)接物料管理系統(tǒng)獲取需求信息，將物料精準(zhǔn)配置到貨架貨倉(cāng)，優(yōu)化生產(chǎn)流程。

Automotive manufacturing involves a wide variety of components, and traditional manual sorting and allocation are prone to errors and inefficiencies. With advanced vision recognition systems, humanoid robots can distinguish between different material models, use flexible robotic arms to perform precise pick-and-place tasks, and interface with material management systems to access real-time requirements. This ensures accurate material allocation to shelves and bins, optimizing the production workflow.

3.  3C Manufacturing Material Quality Inspection

3C產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)規(guī)模大、更新快，對(duì)質(zhì)檢速度與精度要求高，人工質(zhì)檢存在效率與準(zhǔn)確性短板。人形機(jī)器人搭載高精度視覺(jué)傳感器和智能檢測(cè)算法，可檢測(cè)物料外觀缺陷、尺寸精度等，聯(lián)動(dòng)生產(chǎn)管理系統(tǒng)反饋結(jié)果，助力提升產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量控制水平。

The 3C (Computer, Communication, and Consumer Electronics) industry features high production volumes and rapid iteration, demanding fast and accurate quality inspection. Manual inspection often falls short in both speed and precision. Humanoid robots equipped with high-resolution visual sensors and intelligent detection algorithms can identify surface defects and dimensional inconsistencies in materials. They work in tandem with production management systems to report results, thereby improving overall quality control.

4. Shipbuilding Grinding and Polishing

船舶制造中船體打磨拋光環(huán)境惡劣，人工操作既影響工人健康，質(zhì)量穩(wěn)定性也欠佳。人形機(jī)器人能適應(yīng)惡劣環(huán)境，憑借強(qiáng)大力量與精準(zhǔn)動(dòng)作控制能力完成打磨拋光，協(xié)同設(shè)計(jì)和生產(chǎn)管理系統(tǒng)作業(yè)，提高船舶表面處理質(zhì)量。

Grinding and polishing of ship hulls take place in harsh environments and pose risks to workers’ health, often resulting in inconsistent quality. Humanoid robots can operate in such adverse conditions, and complete grinding and polishing tasks with their powerful force output and precise motion control. When integrated with design and production management systems, they improve the quality and consistency of surface treatment in shipbuilding.
