In the past few days, I don't know if you have seen the news of Mobile Aloha, which is a set of low-cost open-source artificial intelligence robots, which was only on January 4th.
The main components of Mobile Aloha include:
1. Robotic arm (total value of about $17,984) **Vendor: Viperx 300 6DOF robotic arm of Trossen Robotics (worth $6,130 each, using two) WidowX 250 6DOF robotic arm (worth $3,550 each, using two).
2. Tracer A** mobile robot ($7,000 value).
3. Laptops and cameras, etc.
It can be seen that the highest cost of Aloha robots is the robotic arm and A** chassis robot.
The ViperX 300 6DOF robotic arm consists of 6 x XM540 Dynamixel digital servo servos (actuators) and 2 x XM430 servo servos (actuators). The digital servo servo is mainly composed of brushless motors, reduction gears, control chips, encoders and other components.
All of the above can be produced in China, and this is an open source project, anyone can DIY assembly.
Aloha can learn the daily behavior of using both hands through a neural network, and can operate autonomously after 50 demonstrations. Aloha can already cook shrimp, take the elevator, wipe the table, high-five people, wash dishes, tidy up tables and chairs, use cabinets to store items, laundry, water flowers, make coffee, and many other tasks.
I don't know if you have any awareness of the price reduction speed of laser engraving machines, 3D printers, industrial manipulators and other projects in China, but Aloha has a big difference in that other projects are for enterprises, and Aloha's application scenarios may be family and workshop-level units, that is, even if you are opening a restaurant or a personal workshop, it is necessary to buy Aloha to help you work.
Think about the sales of those sweeping robots, is the application scenario definitely not as broad as aloha, are you a business owner, have you thought of any jobs that can be replaced by robots?
The cost of the entire Aloha system** is 320,000 dollars, full weight of 75 kg, in 1A height of 5 meters can exert a pull force of 100 N and move at a speed of 1 per second6 meters, can carry up to 100 kg of weight, can work up to 12 hours.
At the speed of Shenzhen, it is estimated that there will soon be a version of the national production, if you sell a unit for 30,000 yuan at that time, with the current labor cost, as the boss, will you purchase it to assist production?
