Recently, BAIC BJEV and UBTECH have joined forces to set an industry benchmark for the intelligent upgrading of high-end manufacturing by building the world's leading humanoid robot new energy vehicle demonstration production line. In the Xiangjie Super Factory, an executive-level pure electric luxury flagship car production base jointly built by BAIC and Huawei, UBTECH's industrial humanoid robot Walker S1 performs instrument line material inspection tasks in the assembly workshop, with an intelligent detection accuracy rate of 99%.
As the first humanoid robot "quality inspector" of Xiangjie Super Factory, Walker S1 accurately detects the category and quantity of auto parts through pure vision solutions, and collaborates with AGVs to complete the automated inspection process, showing a high level of intelligence. By innovatively inputting the 3D reconstruction workpiece model into the simulation tool, a large amount of simulation data closer to the imaging style of the real camera is generated, which assists in the training of the visual basic large model, and finally realizes zero-shot detection based on visual prompts. In view of the difficulties such as occluded features, similar appearance, and close placement of parts, Walker S1 adopts tracking-based post-processing fusion technology to effectively filter and complete the false detection and missing detection of a small number of frames, and significantly improve the reliability of the detection results.
Jiao Jichao, vice president and dean of UBTECH, said: "At present, the application of humanoid robots in the field of intelligent manufacturing is becoming a new highland for global scientific and technological competition. UBTECH is deeply engaged in the field of humanoid robots, and has long-term accumulation and first-mover and leading advantages in embodied intelligence, intelligent hardware, system integration, commercial applications, etc., which will help new energy vehicles to develop towards high-end, intelligent and green development, and continue to promote the upgrading of industrial structure to high-precision. "
As the first vehicle enterprise in China to obtain the production qualification of new energy vehicles, BAIC Blue Valley pays great attention to the development and application of robots. As a representative of BAIC Group's high-end, intelligent and green manufacturing system, Xiangjie Super Factory is equipped with highly automated production lines, excellent process systems and strict environmental protection standards, which is the masterpiece of BAIC Group's "ALL IN" in intelligent and electrified transformation, with an industry-leading factory automation rate and intelligent level, and an automation rate of almost 100% in stamping and body shops, and an intelligent level close to the standard of "black light factory". The first Xiangjie S9 equipped with Huawei's ADS 3.0 high-end intelligent driving system is produced here.
Wang Hui, General Manager of BAIC BJEV Beijing Branch, said: "During the production process of the Xiangjie plant, each new car undergoes a strict full-time quality monitoring and perception system, and the whole process from production to transportation to delivery is monitored, tracked and traced in real time to ensure that every vehicle has perfect quality. The attempt of humanoid robots marks an important step in the field of intelligent manufacturing by BAIC BJEV. The efficiency and accuracy of the humanoid robot Walker S1 not only greatly improve the efficiency of quality inspection, but also effectively reduce human error and ensure the high quality of every factory car. "
At present, UBTECH is actively exploring general humanoid robot swarm operation solutions for multi-task industrial scenarios, and has introduced swarm intelligence technology into the field of humanoid robots for the first time, promoting the comprehensive evolution of humanoid robots from stand-alone autonomy to swarm intelligence.
In response to the high-dimensional decision-making needs of complex production line-level tasks, UBTECH has developed the world's first multimodal reasoning model for humanoid robots, giving humanoid robots the reasoning ability similar to human common sense, enabling them to efficiently disassemble, schedule and collaborate complex tasks between multiple robots, thereby improving the intelligence level of group operations. These innovations not only provide a reference paradigm for the large-scale application of humanoid robots in intelligent manufacturing, but also promote the paradigm transition of new industrialization from "semi-flexible manufacturing" to "fully flexible intelligent manufacturing".
