Autonomous composite collaborative robot for intelligent chemical laboratories

Recently, Dalian Dahua Zhongtian Technology Co., Ltd. has developed an autonomous, composite collaborative robot for intelligent chemical laboratories.

This product is currently being used in the automated chemical synthesis platform of the School of Chemistry, Dalian University of Technology.

The autonomous composite collaborative robot uses algorithms for high-precision mapping and navigation in unstructured environments, adaptive Monte Carlo pose estimation, and vision-assisted positioning and grasping. It can perform precise operations such as picking, transporting, and placing reagents and samples in confined spaces like chemical laboratories.

This robot integrates a multi-degree-of-freedom collaborative robotic arm and an intelligent navigation autonomous mobile chassis. Equipped with Mecanum wheels, it can move laterally and diagonally in narrow spaces, suitable for indoor environments such as laboratories and smart workshops.

According to user needs, an end-effector quick-change mechanism can be built on the robot platform surface to quickly switch between various end effectors such as pneumatic grippers and electric grippers.

With an IP54 protection rating, it can autonomously perceive the surrounding environment through multi-modal data such as vision and touch, autonomously completing diverse tasks in place of humans.

Unmanned chemical laboratories do not require researchers to supervise the experimental process in real time. The team has built a digital twin based on the layout characteristics of the intelligent chemical laboratory,

establishing a data-driven visualization platform based on a 3D model of the intelligent chemical laboratory. Through the mutual mapping of the virtual model and the actual physical unit, researchers can better monitor the operation of various equipment in the laboratory and the overall operation of the intelligent laboratory.

Researchers can easily access accurate experimental data while browsing the intelligent laboratory and model status.

A person in charge of Dalian Dahua Zhongtian Technology Co., Ltd. stated: “Our company constantly strives for excellence and is committed to expanding into new business areas, leading the industry with innovation and strength.

The autonomous composite collaborative robot is our latest product for automated chemical laboratories, aiming to free the hands of researchers in biochemistry and other fields,

promote industry development, expand product application scenarios, and better achieve technological implementation.”
