What changes would it bring if robots were to grow skin?
 Recently, Shenzhen Special Zone Daily interviewed Dr. Lai Jiancheng, founder and CEO of Tujian Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. Dr. Lai Jiancheng told reporters: "Our job is to shape a tactile perception world for robots, bringing innovation to multiple fields such as human-computer interaction, robot perception, and medical health." In Shenzhen, product research and development and manufacturing that used to take one or two weeks can now be produced in just three to five days, with faster product iteration, as if the pace of life evolution is accelerating. Electronic skins make robots more like 'humans' In January of this year, the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which has attracted global attention in the electronics technology industry, opened in Las Vegas, USA. Tujian Technology and its strategic partner Shenzhen Zhaowei Electromechanical Co., Ltd. jointly participated in the exhibition, stunning the exhibition with "one pair of hands" and "one piece of skin". Hand "is a high degree of freedom tactile perception dexterous hand jointly developed by both parties; Skin "is a stretchable multimodal flexible electronic skin independently developed by Tujian Technology. Like touching real human skin! "Many visitors exclaimed the new tactile experience brought by the softness and stretchability of electronic skin products as they stretched them themselves. The on-site demonstration of the robot's dexterous hand grasping objects is even more impressive,Electronic skin endows robots with high-density and high-sensitivity tactile perception capabilities. The dexterous hand equipped with electronic skin accurately judges the shape, weight, and surface characteristics of objects through sensitive tactile feedback, greatly improving the accuracy and safety of dexterous hand operations. Flexible electronic skin takes an important step forward for robots in mimicking human abilities. Open up a new space for tactile perception Why is it so important and attention grabbing for robots to grow skin? The skin is the largest organ in the human body, allowing humans to perceive and touch it. If robots also grow skin, it may open up new perception channels. "Lai Jiancheng described to reporters that in the increasingly mature market environment of visual and auditory perception, tactile perception is gradually becoming the most popular emerging technology in the field of embodied intelligence. The flexible electronic skin product developed by Tujian Technology simulates the principle of human skin's perception of tactile information. Its good stretchability allows it to wrap around the surface of irregular surfaces, providing a truly tactile and soft skin for embodied intelligent robots and dexterous hands. The new technologies and products provide the most direct, efficient, and accurate disruptive solutions for tactile perception, and also provide the most critical technical support for humanoid robots and dexterous hands to truly become productive and replace humans in performing complex tasks. The application of flexible electronic skin in fields such as intelligent cockpit and smart healthcare is also highly anticipated. Electronic skin, as a platform technology for tactile perception, has applications in cockpits, healthcare, and overall health XR、 The Internet of Things and many other fields have wide applications. Shenzhen is an ideal place for the development of innovative enterprises Just like the skin we developed gave robots a brand new perception world, Shenzhen is providing high-tech enterprises like us with a 'skin' to perceive the world. When it comes to settling in Shenzhen, Lai Jiancheng sincerely told reporters that Shenzhen is an ideal place for Tujian Technology to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary. This is not only one of the core areas of China's high-tech industry, but also has a very complete robot upstream and downstream industry and supply chain, "Lai Jiancheng said. Tujian Technology focuses on the research and development of flexible electronic skins, which requires high-quality raw materials, chips, and manufacturing equipment. Shenzhen has abundant upstream resources, which can provide stable support for research and development and production. We are fortunate to be invited to participate in the Shenzhen Hand In Hand International Industry Alliance, which gathers a large number of robot manufacturers and intelligent hardware enterprises, forming a cluster effect of '1+1>2'. Whether it is the response speed of the supply chain or the efficiency of product iteration, Touareg Technology is greatly benefited. ”Lai Jiancheng said. The "hard conditions" such as industrial chain and supply chain are good, while the "soft conditions" such as talent, business environment, and policies are equally attractive. Lai Jiancheng said that Shenzhen has a great support for the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence. "Whether it's financial support, industrial policies, financing environment, or tax incentives, they all provide a very friendly environment for companies like us that focus on technological innovation. At the same time, there are a large number of high-tech talents gathered here, whether it's engineering and technical personnel or supply chain management talents, Shenzhen can attract ideal team members for us As an international metropolis, Shenzhen's open market environment and geographical advantage of being close to Hong Kong and Macau also make it easier for Tujian Technology to connect with the international market. We believe that establishing a subsidiary in Shenzhen can help us achieve more efficient technology research and commercialization of our products. "Lai Jiancheng is full of confidence. |
