FAULHABER’s innovation management earned recognition in the 17th round of the high-profile business initiative. Lothar Späth, former Minister President of Baden-Württemberg, conferred the coveted Top 100 hallmark on the Schönaich based company at a special ceremony held at the Gästehaus Petersberg hotel in Königswinter. The mentor behind the midmarket initiative thereby paid tribute to FAULHABER’s achievements in the categories of “Innovation-promoting management”, “Innovation climate”, “Innovation marketing”, “Successful innovation” and “Innovative processes and organisation”. In the latter category, FAULHABER managed to secure a top 10 placing. According to the Top 100 analysis, the company demonstrates particular innovative flair in its creative workshops and its “innovation days”, on which employees make use of a special creative space with numerous technological prototypes. Since the company’s innovation management system underwent a full restructuring process around two years ago, staff have been contributing at least one new product idea per week on average, with bonuses paid for suggestions. A dozen or so of these ideas are now being pursued and realized. The innovation process is structured in such a way that the learning benefit produced by technological development is considered as important as the product itself. In other words, a concept that is not subsequently realized is not regarded as a failure, but will ideally point the way towards implementation of the same product idea by an alternative approach. To qualify for the award, FAULHABER was required to pass a stringent two-stage assessment by the Vienna University of Economics and Business. The Top 100 of the 319 entrants included 54 national market leaders and 22 world leaders in their fields of activity. FAULHABER has proved that when it comes to innovation, the company ranks with the best that the SME segment in Germany has to offer. ...

通往成功的漫长道路高科技 运动设备 任何人都有可能受到战争、事故、疾病、年老或残疾的影响。自古以来,人们始终致力 于寻求能够让那些受此影响的人们生活更方便的技术解决方案。此领域的开拓者是中国人, 据说他们早在公元前1300年便已开始使用一种带有轮子的椅子。在中世纪,人们为此做过各 种尝试,从类似手推车的简单载具到1420年前后带有滑轮的驱动解决方案(虽有些笨重却极 具创造力),不一而足。 其中有一份最古老的图片文件来源于1595年。该图片显示西班牙国王Philip坐于一台类似 轮椅的载具内,虽然他罹患严重的痛风病,但他可以借助这台载具处理政府事务。首个自推式 结构由Nuremberg的钟表匠Stefan Farfler于1655年开发,他本人也患有小儿麻痹症。下面的 时间线显示了通往电动竞速轮椅之路所经历的其他里程碑。 人机体育大赛(CYBATHLON)赛道: 异常艰巨的任务 像奥运会一样,人机体育大赛(Cybathlon) 大赛每四年举行一次。运动员可参加六个 不同的竞赛项目。竞速也在不同项目期间 举行,通常位于博览会的范围内。 在“轮椅竞速”类别,伴有严重行走障碍 的驾驶员乘坐电动轮椅完成规定的障碍 赛。各个站点都有相当大的技术挑战。拉 博斯维尔工程与建筑学院已经赢得了两座 冠军奖杯,这是该学院的HSR Enhanced 团队的主要竞赛项目。许多团队选择用履 带完成楼梯攀爬。然而,HSR Enhanced 采用了混合驱动概念,集合楼梯履带和单 独转向的车轮,使得轮椅在所有其他障碍 物上都有极强的操控性。 为了爬楼梯,轮椅在底盘下安装了一个名 为“Herkules”的可升降辅助模块。该模 块将轮椅从轮式载具转换成履带式载具。 为了确保当轮椅倾斜时,驾驶员能安全地 坐稳,座椅及重心因此也会进行转换。这 种转换会影响牵引力和操纵性。对轮椅使 用者而言,这一功能在日常中也很有用:当 座椅靠前时,使用者脚的位置变低,这样 便能舒适地靠近桌子。当座椅靠后——在 水平地形上移动的标准位置——驾驶员的 腿被抬高和伸展,驾驶员和轮椅的的长度 变得更短、更紧凑。 FAULHABER的电机用于楼梯模块,可实 现座椅调节和单个车轮转向。两个大功率 有刷电机 将“Herkules”降低,电机可将 约180公斤的重量从轮子举升到履带上。 带减速箱和丝杠的同款电机还被用于座椅 的移动。车轮由四个带被动减速箱的 BXT 无刷电机 控制。创新的绕线技术和优化设 计使其能够实现极高的转矩。性能和效率 远超其他类似尺寸的电机。电机转速高达 10000转/分,几乎可以瞬间完成转向运 动。标准内置的数字霍尔传感器可用于极 其精确的调速控制。 想要突破极限, 必须先到达 极限 在像人机体育大赛(Cybathlon)这样具有挑战性的技术 竞赛中,所有参赛者都会完成任务期间收获成长。舍奈希 FAULHABER的德国工程师会由此有所收获,拉佩斯维尔大 学的瑞士开发人员也是如此。这些人员会在技术上可行的范 围内充分利用所获经验和解决方案产生的宝贵协同效应, 将这种效应直接用于优化和开发人类机能增进和修复学应 用领域的新产品。最先从这项技术转移中受益的是应用工 程师,而后才是位于世界各地的残疾人士。无论是肌电假 肢、手臂假肢和腿部假肢甚至是外骨骼和工作机器人,无不 如此。FAULHABER所涉及的应用领域非常广泛,它不仅拥 有合适的驱动解决方案和可用的标准,还可开发定制解决方 案。正是由于具备此领域的专业知识,HSR Enhanced团队 才选择了Faulhaber提供的驱动系统。 拉博斯维尔工程与建筑学院(HSR)实验 室自动化和机电一体化系的Christian Bermes博士教授接受采访。 FAULHABER:您还记得您的学院第一 次参加人机体育大赛(Cybathlon)的情 景吗? Bermes博士教授: “第一届人机体育大 赛(Cybathlon)大赛于2016年在苏黎世举 行。我们过了很久才知道这个比赛。我们 当时的目标是作为参赛者参加比赛,因此 我们当时要在十个月内从零开始开发出一 款可供比赛使用的轮椅。但这项任务很有 吸引力,技术挑战也非常有趣。我们的团 队踌躇满志,并且我们摘得了“电动轮椅 竞赛”类别的冠军,从而实现团队的远大 抱负。” FAULHABER:去年在川崎(日本)举行 的人机体育大赛(Cybathlon)轮椅系列赛 上,您的团队又再次赢得金牌。您觉得今 年赢得比赛的机会如何? Bermes博士教授: “我们可能很受欢 迎,但就像赛车运动一样,这个比赛的 规则和规定会随着技术进步而改变,标准 也在不断提高。例如,在苏黎世的第一届 比赛中只需越过三个台阶,而在川崎的比 赛中台阶数则增加到了六个。驾驶员不能 再自己打开障碍赛的门,必须由机械臂开 门,并在驾驶员进入后再关上。我期待着 又一场激动人心的比赛。” FAULHABER: 大赛对HSR增强型轮椅的 电驱系统带来了哪些挑战? Bermes博士教授: “电机必须满足一些 极致的需求。我们不能在轮椅上使用任何 笨重的部件;因此,我们总是尽量将模块 的尺寸保持到最小。当然,同样的道理也 适用于重量——节省出来的每克重量使载 具更具机动性,还提升了操控性。此外, 为了不浪费电池电量,我们想用效率尽可 能最高的驱动。FAULHABER的电机提供 了最好的技术。" FAULHABER: 除了体育方面的成功, 您从人机体育大赛(Cybathlon)大赛中还 收获了什么? Bermes博士教授: 我们的拉博斯维尔实 验室自动化和机电一体化系专注于应用研 究。可以说,大赛是对我们新研发技术的 严峻考验。来自世界各地的共约一百支队 伍参加了比赛。参赛队伍在比赛期间进行 了很多专业交流,大家的共同目标都是通 过运用适合日常使用的技术使人们变得更 加独立。但是,驾驶员和机器之间的复杂 交互也可以转移到其他领域,比如工业生 产中的自动化和机器人技术:人与机器也 可以在这里协作处理复杂任务。 FAULHABER:您说您自己对体育充满热 情。体育精神在驾驶员和团队中扮演着什 么角色? Bermes博士教授: 参赛载具的驾驶员 Florian Hauser在一次摩托车事故中截 瘫,他是一个很有抱负的运动员,总是 全力以赴。由本科生、硕士生和工程师 组成的团队中也随处可见同样的精神。 每个人都为比赛激动不已,因为一旦起跑 信号发出,我们就不得干预了。这跟一级 方程式赛车一样:我们试图穷尽技术的可 能性。如果工作做得好,我们就能为成功 创造理想条件。但在比赛中,上了赛道就 只看驾驶员的表现了,这跟赛车类似。在 Florian,我们的驾驶员完全能够胜任。 相关文章 ...

事实上,在机器人开发和人工智能上,开发团队完全是业余水平。于是,他们利用业余时间从零开始学习,不断试错,研发出了第一代CUE,同年秋天成功实现罚球功能。 项目得到了来自丰田内部和外部大量的积极反馈,公司决定将其作为正式项目继续下去。开发完成六个月后,第一代CUE升级为CUE2。这一次,机器人自己两脚站立,从三分球区域投篮,惊艳所有人。CUE开发团队的挑战一直持续到了CUE3和CUE4。 CUE项目的障碍 CUE项目面临着许多障碍。首先,机器人必须测量自身到篮筐的距离,计算出得分球的轨迹,并算出该如何投球。要做到这一点,需要精准的投篮动作。要协调控制每个关节中安装的所有电机,并精确控制每个电机(位置、速度和扭矩),以产生精准的投篮动作。CUE根据篮球运动员的体型设计,安装在关节处的电机尺寸有限,无法安装大型电机。因此,为了让小电机产生足够大的力投篮,必须协调控制安装在每个关节(包括腿部、下背部和手臂)中的电机将力放大,并在投篮动作期间将力传递给球。 换句话说,在投篮动作中,每个电机的位置、速度或扭矩控制的一个微小误差都会导致动作偏差,无法投中。因此,防止误差极其重要。由于瞄准投篮时,机器人站立的位置不同,到篮筐的距离也不同,因此对力进行细微调整至关重要。为根据精确的动作轮廓执行动作,每个电机必须高响应、高功率,且体积小巧。FAULHABER电机在解决这一问题中发挥了积极作用。 CUE2尝试投进三分球 第一代CUE在罚球线成功得分,CUE2则改进为自己两脚站立,在距离篮筐6.75米的三分线外投篮。随着投篮距离的增加,投篮动作中最微小的误差都会产生重大影响。因此,动作中最轻微的偏差都会导致无法从三分线(比罚球线远2.5米左右)得分。 在CUE2的开发中,电机高功率输出是主要问题,而FAULHABER的 4490 B 系列无刷直流伺服电机因尺寸和功率被列为候选产品之一。在投篮动作中,多个电机同时受到控制,电机必须更加努力地运转以瞬间产生大量扭矩。尽管有困难,但基于FAULHABER工作曲线的热仿真结果证实CUE2有足够的散热设计,该电机也被认定能够承受使用。 起初,因控制器参数调整不到位,电机时有损坏。不过,项目还是到了CUE2成功投出三分球的阶段,并在一场日本职业篮球赛的中场休息时进行了展示。 升级到CUE3和CUE4 CUE3的开发基于一个新概念:机器人左手接球时,进入投篮位置并尝试得分。CUE3进行了这一展示后,团队收到了挑战吉尼斯世界纪录的邀请。 在为挑战吉尼斯世界纪录做准备时,CUE最初一次投篮前需要约一分钟准备时间,进一步改进后,能以每12秒一次的速度准确投篮。 连续投篮次数超过1000次时,参照东京奥运会和残奥会,挑战的目标设为2,020次投篮。挑战开始6小时35分钟后,喜悦的时刻终于到来。 CUE3获得了“人形机器人(辅助)连续罚篮次数最多”的吉尼斯世界纪录:2,020次投篮。 继CUE3创造了罚篮吉尼斯世界纪录后,CUE4的目标定为挑战三分球大赛。三分球大赛是将25个球沿三分线五个投篮点各放五个,球员在指定时间内比拼成功投篮的次数。CUE4迅速移动到投篮点,抢球,进入投篮位置,投进三分球,令现场观众兴奋不已。CUE4采用FAULHABER最近推出的 4221 BXTH 系列全新外转子无刷扁平电机,具有抓球的新功能。FAULHABER将继续接受新挑战,期待CUE未来的发展。 相关文章 ...

空中客车公司最初审查了飞行助手的概念,作为自筹 资金研究的一部分。然后2016年8月德国航空航天中心 (DLR)航空部门的订单就来了,以继续进行该项目。 随后,由空中客车、德国航空航天中心和路德维希马克 西米利安慕尼黑大学(LMU)的大约50人组成的团队在 不到两年的创纪录时间内实施了这一计划。参与者还有计 算机制造商IBM的专家,CIMON项目的人工智能(AI)基 于他们的沃森技术。多亏了这项技术,这个小帮手能够定 位自己、移动、获取知识并识别他的人类伙伴。 CIMON作为地平线任务的一部分前往国际空间站。它 在那里的工作最初将限于三项实验,这些实验将与德国 空间站工作组成员和临时指挥官Alexander Gerst一起进 行。他们一起承担了对Rubik魔方的颜色进行分类,试验 晶体,并进行医学实验。小帮手协助学习过程,给出逐 步的指导,借助内置摄像头检查完成情况,必要时进行 干预——当然只是口头干预——并在需要时进行纠正。 © Airbus-Space 欧洲航天局宇航员Alexander Gerst和CIMON辅助系统 ©Airbus-Space 在太空中用推进器驱动 在国际空间站上,大小和形状像一个药球的球形机器人尽管有五公斤重,但它在太空中失重。为了确保它不 会撞到任何东西并且为了精确移动,CIMON配备了七个 管状空气喷嘴,每个喷嘴都有两个小推进器。它们还允 许它使用肢体语言进行交互。 “沿着x轴有四根管子,这些管子负责向前和向后运 动,为此我们需要最高的速度,”位于腓特烈港的空中 客车科学工程师Philipp Schulien解释道。当各个推进器 得到适当控制时,它们也能让任务伙伴CIMON点头或摇 头。有两个管子用于侧向移动,一个管子用于向上,一 个管子用于向下。选择这种安排,而不是每个轴安装一 个更大的推进器,是由于国际空间站的严格噪声规定。 当小帮手与工作组成员一起工作时,他必须留在 一个“箱子”里——这是空间站内的一个假想的长方 体。CIMON必须做大量工作才能保持原位,因为这个盒 子随着国际空间站的永久旋转而循环移动。此外,船上 的空气不断循环。如果不是因为其阻力,气流和旋转很 容易就会将其推向最近的墙壁。 © Airbus-Space 自动推力脉冲 这就是为什么推进器在其空气喷嘴中定期推出小推力 以校正位置的原因。任务伙伴的各种运动是通过打开和 关闭各个推进器以及控制各个电机的速度来控制的。后 者是 0824 ... B 系列的无刷伺服电机。 SC1801 调速控制器 将导航软件的命令转换成适当的速度。 “FAULHABER电机已经在太空旅行中证明了自 己,”Philipp Schulien解释道。“由于每克每立方厘米 的物质在太空旅行时都很重要,我们总是需要尽可能多 的驱动力,并且重量和体积尽可能小。所选的组合非常 紧凑。此外,总的可靠性、长使用寿命和低维护也同样 重要。最后,驱动也应该消耗尽可能少的能量,并且非 常安静,这样工作组就不会受到额外的噪音干扰。”出 于同样的原因,其他FAULHABER电机也被选择去国际 空间站:它们驱动蠕动泵进行生物实验,这也是在地平线 任务中进行的。宇航员助理打算在任务完成后留在飞船 上,并继续自己的训练。他的反馈将帮助地球上的开发 人员微调这个概念。 相关文章 ...

Dr. Haberland, FAULHABER has been voted among the 100 most innovative medium-sized companies in Germany several times. What accounts for its special innovative strength? FAULHABER has been named a TOP100 Innovator for the fourth time - the last time in 2020. Aside from this official award: What I particularly notice here in the company is the high creativity of our employees. They have an excellent technical background and are thus able to drive innovations quickly. It's important to me that we don't always talk about the big, worth millions opportunities in this context, but also focus on the details: Improvements made by our employees often lead to better implementation of a functionality in product development or to a customer solution that offers greater added value than a competitor's solution. It is these many technical details in particular that make a decisive contribution to a company's innovative strength. A second topic is the close customer relationship in order to have the best possible understanding of the individual needs of our customers and to be able to serve them accordingly. The third point, which I believe is very important for innovation, is that we provide support and encouragement from the entire management team and, above all, the freedom that is needed to be innovative. One example of this is the so-called Innovation Challenge, which we launched at the beginning of the year. Here we motivate all employees to submit innovative proposals on a specific set of topics. The specific topic and a time limit are predetermined. The result will be available by the end of 2022. What insights from your time as Head of Research & Development can you now implement as General Manager? The topic of customer relations is important at all levels. Ideally, we should not only know our contacts at management level. Technicians can also solve problems - often much earlier - if they communicate openly with their peers. The knowledge we gain through intensive exchange with our customers naturally also helps us to identify growth markets at an early stage. It is one of FAULHABER's strengths to be networked in many industries and thus to recognize opportunities and trends in good time. In times of Corona, markets such as the aviation industry collapsed because no one was flying anymore. Other markets, such as the medical sector, grew strongly because, among other things, thousands of ventilators were missing. A company like FAULHABER, which is very broadly positioned, can balance these needs well against each other. At the Innovation and Trend Day that was held both hybrid and live, FAULHABER had numerous customers and partners as guests. What are their concerns, but also their wishes? At this year's FIT, we took an intensive look at the topic of the supply chain. The feedback from customers is clear: It is a topic that is on everyone's mind at the moment - sometimes on the mechanical side, sometimes on the electronic side. FAULHABER presented a number of solution models that were developed at eye level with our customers and led to more resilience overall despite the global supply bottlenecks. This applied to purchasing issues in particular. FAULHABER was also able to gain valuable experience in the area of risk management and to achieve greater agility, which is important: Due to uncertain political conditions in trade with China and the war in Ukraine, the challenges within the industry will continue for some time. Agility remains a central theme of your corporate policy, and it entails implementing digital and scalable business models iteratively. What's next in this regard? We need digitization first and foremost to become faster. This already starts with order processing. How can a customer receive an order confirmation as quickly as possible? How do we reliably clarify material availability? A digitization project is currently underway at FAULHABER to address these questions, in which all existing products must be transferred to the digital world. For a company that has existed for 75 years and some of whose products have been established on the market for over 30 years, this is a real challenge on the one hand, and a must on the other. Product knowledge should readily be available in a digital and thus also reusable form. And in system projects, we are increasingly working with digital twins to ensure that the controls are customer-compatible. As a driver of high technology in Germany, recruiting skilled workers and lifelong learning are of outstanding importance to FAULHABER . How do you find and promote talent? At the beginning of 2022, we launched a so-called 'Innovation Training'. This is where company employees present current technical topics - primarily for the developers. With our product range of micro-high performance motors, we are very specific. Of course, we could just go to conferences to learn something new. But we also learn a great deal from our colleagues who have been with us for many years. We also promote cooperation between the development departments at the various FAULHABER company locations in Switzerland, Romania, Hungary and Germany or the USA. We use the digital experiences we made with Teams during the pandemic also in the post-Corona phase. Holding lectures with more than a hundred participants across Europe is logistically simple this way. The response to this offer has been really great. Are there collaborations with universities and start-up hubs to exchange technical information with the academic world as well? Two years ago, we created a position called 'Technology Outreach'. Its main task is to intensify contacts to the academic world and to direct young professionals' attention to companies like FAULHABER. In addition, we have carried out a research project with a university in Austria, where the focus is very specifically on a more accurate simulation of product behavior. In part, these projects are supported with external funding, in part we finance them with our own funds. What challenges and opportunities have arisen as a result of increased home office options? Our employees have the opportunity to work two days a week from their home office. If they work more from home than in the company, we may face the challenge of declining identification with the company in the long term, because regular interaction with colleagues or work life is missing. Management naturally has an interest in our employees identifying with the company. And of course we also want to communicate FAULHABER’s values, which is difficult to do when someone is sitting in front of the screen exclusively in the home office. We all had to learn to distinguish between topics that are good to communicate digitally and those that can only be communicated in analog form. This applies in particular to departments such as development, where three, four or more people are often gathered in front of a flipchart in the same room for creative brainstorming. The company must create an environment in which such small groups are happy to gather. How has collaborative, cross-site working developed at FAULHABER ? Not every site needs specialists in every field, which is why we have created cross-site competence centers. In addition, any remaining reluctance to ask colleagues at other sites for advice should be put aside. For example, while the Swiss colleagues have in-depth knowledge of gear technology and stepper motors, the company headquarters in Schönaich is home to the specialists for DC motors.

The success story of FAULHABER starts at the end of the 1940s when a young engineer by the name of Dr. Fritz Faulhaber founds “Feinmechanischen Werkstätten” in Schönaich, Germany. During his previous development work on the revolutionary camera model “Vitessa” for the renowned company Voigtländer, he already had the idea of using an electric motor to transport film. As he couldn’t find a motor small enough and with the necessary efficiency and performance when batteryoperated, Dr. Fritz Faulhaber worked on his own solution in the mid-1950s and, with the ironless, self-supporting, skewwound design, invented an innovative drive technology that would solve not only his camera problem, but also lay the foundation for the future of miniaturization in many application areas worldwide and form the basis for the success of the company in the next 75 years. What FAULHABER has learned from these exciting past 75 years is how important corporate courage and foresight were and are – not only for FAULHABER, but also for the many customers whose applications would not have been possible without this forward-thinking. What made this success possible are the people who work at FAULHABER around the world. For everyone who works at the Schönaich site, the anniversary was a long-awaited and well-deserved opportunity to celebrate this achievement together. 视频 On Friday, September 9, 2022, the festival area opposite the company headquarters was ready to welcome the guests. At the entrance, they were surprised with a gift bag that not only had the motto “75 Years of Motion” imprinted, but which also invited the guests to put words into action with a jumping rope and a yo-yo. The bag also contained the hot-off-the-press anniversary brochure for those who preferred reading over moving. “75 Years of Motion” was also the motto of the numerous attractions on the fairground. On bouncy castles, crate climbing, and many other stations, the young and old visitors could put their talent for motion to the test. To supply the energy needed, there were various options to get hydrated or get a bite to eat with a wide range of culinary options available. The visitors also had the opportunity to watch various artists carry out a bubble performance or perform magic tricks, as well as listening to the band play in the marquee. Many also took the opportunity to get a tour of the premises. Here the employees could proudly present their workplace to their families The visitors could either walk around on their own or get a guided tour. A new name for the road that leads to the Schönaich site Also among the many well-wishers was Ms. Anna Walther, mayor of the municipality of Schönaich. She emphasized the importance of the company for the municipality and the business location of Schönaich, praised FAULHABER for the company's commitment to the location at its roots and, by stating that FAULHABER is one of the first German companies to produce climate-neutrally at the Schönaich location, highlighted the commitment of the company in terms of sustainability. As a special thank you, together with Managing Director Lutz Braun, she unveiled a street sign with the new name of the street that will lead to the Schönaich site in the future: Faulhaberstraße – a road to the future – because that is what FAULHABER has stood for over 75 years. We would like to say a big thank you to all the helpers for planning, organizing and carrying out this fantastic event! ...

The history of FAULHABER has been closely linked to the municipality of Schönaich from the very beginning. After the foundation of the "Feinmechanische Werkstätten" in 1947, company founder Dr. Fritz Faulhaber Sr. and his first employees initially worked in a building in Vogelsang, before moving to a barrack next to Dr. Faulhaber's home in Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Weg in 1960. In the early 1990s, FAULHABER moved into the newly constructed building at the current headquarters location. "We would like to cement our bond forever, so to speak" - with these words, Schönaich's mayor Anna Walther unveiled the new street sign in front of more than 1,000 guests as part of the 75th anniversary celebration in September 2022. She expressed her gratitude for the company's commitment to the location at its roots and praised FAULHABER as an internationally successful player in the technology market and a figurehead for the municipality. She was particularly pleased that FAULHABER acts as a reliable partner and takes responsibility. As examples, Anna Walther mentioned the company's social commitment to the Schönaich senior citizens' lunch table and the Sindelfingen food bank. She emphasized the company's commitment to sustainability by stating that FAULHABER is one of the first German companies to produce in a climate-neutral manner at its Schönaich location. In addition, it is also the focus on the technologies and drive solutions of the future that the new street name represents: "Faulhaberstraße - a road towards the future - because that is what FAULHABER has stood for for 75 years now," said the mayor. Karl Faulhaber expressed his thanks on behalf of the company for the special honor bestowed by the municipality of Schönaich. ...

此次讲演以一个思维实验开场:假如,我们今天已经拥有了完美的仿人机器人,那会是怎样?答案是:它将无缝融入我们的环境中,一个由人类打造的人与机器人可以和谐共生的世界。不过,现实情况是,相关技术仍处于其生命周期的早期阶段。 Kevin Moser将其称为“创新触发”阶段,在该阶段,虽已存在首批功能原型,但商业化产品尚未大量出现。这一早期市场阶段的特点是实验性、媒体和投资者的高度关注以及各种各样的技术方案,这些方案中只有一部分能够存活下来。“只有最好的概念才能胜出,其余的将会泯然于市场”,他解释道。这一发展趋势的驱动力显而易见:劳动力短缺和人口结构变化导致对自动化的巨大需求。与此同时,生成式人工智能、传感器和执行器技术以及电池系统等领域的进步也正在开辟机器人技术的新维度。 Kevin Moser,FAULHABER 公司外部业务开发经理 五大关键见解 1. 工业应用先行 仿人机器人将首先立足于工业环境中,例如制造、物流和自动化等效率、生产率以及劳动力高度重要的领域。在这些领域,类人形外观是次要的,重要的是快速发展。 2. 服务应用跟进 在涉及与人直接互动的领域,例如私人家庭、医疗保健和紧急服务,类人形的外观更为重要。由于对交互性、安全性和接受度的要求较高,仿人机器人在这些领域的引入将会比较缓慢。 3. 现在还在起步阶段 仿人机器人目前正处于“创新触发”阶段,这意味着现在已经有了第一批原型、众多变体,媒体的广泛关注,但尚无完全成熟的产品上市。未来几年,我们将看到哪些概念能够成功。 4. “手”为核心 机器人的手是人工智能与物理世界之间的主要接口。它能够实现精确的交互——无论是抓取、操作还是交流。它的复杂度非常高:仿人机器人所有驱动轴中,约有20%位于手部。 5. 驱动系统是关键 各种各样的关节执行器,无论是旋转式、线性式还是手持式,都需要高度集成、可靠的驱动解决方案,而这正是像FAULHABER这样的专业制造商能够大显身手的地方。 FAULHABER :未来机械手专家 作为领先的微电驱动器供应商之一,FAULHABER已在假肢和抓取系统等市场取得良好声誉。公司专注于根据客户需求提供定制解决方案。 “在机械手的开发中,将驱动器与设备紧密集成至关重要,”Kevin Moser说道。“我们拥有丰富的复杂驱动系统经验,是下一代仿人机器人领域强大的合作伙伴。” 结论:旅程才刚刚开始 仿人机器人是一个振奋人心的领域,而当前我们正处于其发展初期。它们潜力巨大,但实现市场化的道路却错综复杂。像FAULHABER这样拥有深厚技术专长和多年经验的公司将发挥重要作用。因为如果没有可靠、高性能的驱动系统,则拥有完美仿人机器人的梦想,就将永远只是梦想。 ...
