Recently, a human-computer interaction innovation technology company, West Lake Interactive Machine Technology (Hangzhou) **West Lake Interactive) completed a round of financing of tens of millions of yuan led by well-known listed companies. The financing will be mainly used for R&D investment in original, revolutionary and leading technologies for flexible robots and human-computer interaction.
Westlake Interactive, incubated from the Beyond Mechanics with Societal Impact Laboratory led by Jiang Hanqing, Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Westlake University, has a series of world-class scientific research achievements in the field of flexible robotics and human-computer interaction, and has registered a number of international and domestic patents. The company is committed to exploring all kinds of advanced equipment that is conducive to improving the level of human-machine collaboration, and has developed industry-leading flexible robots and human-computer interaction wearable device products, and will continue to vigorously promote a series of work such as industrial transformation.
The company's self-developed lightweight and high-strength robotic arm and manipulator jointly constructed by using TPU lamination and fabric have the advantages of large working space, strong bearing capacity, low cost and other advantages, and are suitable for tasks such as disorderly picking of irregular objects and grasping of vulnerable objects, and will be applied to intelligent logistics picking, automatic tally in supermarkets, orchard picking and other scenarios in the future, with a potential market space of more than 70 billion yuan.
In addition, the company also innovatively applies origami technology to transform handles, vests, and floor mats, and controls its stiffness by changing the angle of the origami structure, providing a new virtual haptic sense to help users get a more immersive gaming experience.
At present, the fields of flexible robots and human-computer interaction are in a stage of rapid development, and the future application scenarios will be very broad. With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, human-computer interaction technology will be more intelligent and natural, and Westlake Interactive will launch new products in different fields such as family, medical care, and entertainment, bringing people a more convenient, efficient and comfortable experience.
