Completed nearly 200 million yuan in B+ round of financing, and used robot technology to serve people|36Kr debuted

It is learned that the intelligent collaborative robot manufacturer "Han's Robot" has completed the B+ round of financing at the end of last year, with a total financing of nearly 200 million yuan. This round of financing is participated by Yuecai Fund, Kai Investment, Wuxi New Investment, etc., mainly used to accelerate the landing of products in more scenarios and regions through product research and development, market behavior and market promotion, etc., and further expand market advantages. This is the third time that Han's Robot has completed a single financing of more than 100 million yuan, following the A round of financing of 165 million yuan in September 2020 and the B1 round of financing of 395 million yuan in June 2021.

Founded in 2017 by the listed company Han's Laser, "Han's Robot" is a national high-tech enterprise incubated on the basis of the R&D team of more than 100 people in Han's Motor Robot Research Institute, and established a subsidiary in Stuttgart, Germany in 2019, with a core team of more than 400 team members from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft für Gesellschaft, Germany Artificial Intelligence Research Center, Germany Aerospace Center, ETH Zurich, etc. It brings together experts in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence from 25 countries and regions. The main products include Elfin series collaborative robots, upgraded Elfin-P collaborative robots, MAiRA multi-perception intelligent robot assistants, MAV multi-perception AGVs, STAR composite robots, etc.

01 Robots that benefit "everyone".

In the past two years, the epidemic has accelerated the development of the contactless economy. The new production mode represented by remote work has subverted the projection dimension of the digital world in the real world, and in terms of intelligent hardware, science and technology to fight the epidemic are also in full swing.

Taking the lockdown and isolation scene that is currently "fighting back" as an example, when a large section of the road and the community are blocked, a large number of express delivery and takeaway are restricted, and the community group buying model of delivering and receiving daily necessities by special personnel cannot actually achieve real "non-contact", and the contradiction between the needs of the scene is beyond the dimension of the Internet and digital technology, and more offline feasible technological means are needed to intervene.

Based on this demand, Han's Robotics has developed the STAR-L epidemic prevention food delivery robot, which can deliver 40 boxes of meals at a time in a hotel isolation environment, with the advantages of larger delivery capacity and intelligent unmanned delivery. At present, the product has been successfully implemented in many cities, and has become another epidemic prevention productivity team behind medical personnel, community workers and volunteers.

In addition, under the special environment, Han's Robot's flagship product, the Elfin series of collaborative robots, is being implemented in different fields such as healthcare, logistics, and education, and can assist doctors in performing puncture surgery.

02 Technological breakthroughs, robots into the era of intelligence

In less than two years, nearly 800 million yuan of financing has helped Han's Robotics to expand the industrial market while concentrating its productivity on the independent research and development of more underlying core components and key technologies, combining with the technical accumulation of the institute for decades, and becoming the backbone of the leading domestic collaborative robot field.

Today, Han's Robotics has made breakthroughs and mastered the complete core technology of key components of robots, and has obtained a number of technical achievements, including the highest IP66 protection, force-controlled visual gripper integration (high-speed bus), explosion-proof certification, intelligent obstacle avoidance, automatic load identification, high-performance vibration suppression, and innovative brake holding method (the robot directly locks and does not fall when it encounters a sudden power failure or emergency stop during operation), which is also reflected in product optimization.

For example, as the only 4/6-axis coaxial structure of cobots in China, Elfin series cobots have been widely used in industrial fields such as assembly, picking, welding, grinding, spraying, dispensing, machine tool loading and unloading, as well as non-industrial fields such as medical treatment and retail, and have been successfully exported to more than 50 countries and regions, including Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. Based on the first double-joint module in China, the Elfin series cobots have a high degree of flexibility in kinematic structure, and the highly integrated modular design helps the robot minimize the weight of the body and effectively reduce the singularities in motion. At present, the load range of the Elfin series of cobots has been successfully increased to a maximum of 20kg, which is a technological breakthrough that has greatly improved the application capabilities of cobots and has been successfully implemented in multiple scenarios.

In addition, as a high-end product line under Han's Robot, MAiRA multi-perception intelligent robot assistant has been implemented in high-tech fields such as medical, 3C, automotive, and aerospace. This is also the first intelligent 7-axis collaborative robot in the true sense of the word, highly integrated with the latest sensors, achieving a breakthrough in the integration of artificial intelligence in the control system and application, with a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.01mm, opening a new era of intelligent collaborative robots.

Talking about the intelligent standard of robots, Wang Guangneng, CEO of "Han's Robot", said at the 36Kr "Advanced Experience · Robot Summit" in November last year: "The robot can perceive the environment and interact with the environment, and the most important thing is that it can be easily used and operated by more people, such as the clerks and production workers at the front desk of the company, and it is best to make it work on the industrial production line." Rather than being programmed by a trained engineer to use it, as is the case with traditional industrial robots. ”

03Human-machine collaboration reduces costs and increases efficiency for the factory

In the context of increasingly severe social issues such as population aging and labor safety, human-machine collaboration has become another way to alleviate social contradictions, and in China's strong production supply chain, it has an extraordinary and direct effect on the cost reduction and efficiency increase of factories.

Human needs and wisdom complement each other, and the blueprint of "unmanned factories" is being realized at an accelerated pace. Han's Robotics has developed a MAV with a focus on completing and solving indoor logistics tasks. It can realize autonomous transportation of goods and navigate freely in complex environments, providing an intelligent logistics "assembly line" for the labor operations of factory workers, reducing the risk of the working environment, and reducing production costs and increasing efficiency for the factory. In addition, MAV's obstacle avoidance radar system can ensure its continuous and safe uninterrupted work, and its autonomous navigation system and dispatching software can realize the simultaneous service of multiple vehicles, making production tasks and control both efficient and flexible.

The STAR composite robot is another innovative product designed by Han's Robotics to reduce costs and increase efficiency in industrial production, which can realize the grabbing and handling of materials from different stations to other stations, reducing the number of fixed robotic arms and improving the flexibility of the production line.

"Serving the people with robotics."

In the future, Han's Robotics will continue to be market-oriented, follow the pace of industrial development and social and people's livelihood, promote the application and expansion of collaborative robots in multiple fields, and at the same time deepen technology research and development, and seek true human-machine integration through continuous innovation.
