Recently, CES, the world's largest consumer electronics show, was held in Las Vegas, USA. Among them, Lotus Robotics, a subsidiary of Lotus, brought the latest achievements in the field of intelligent vehicles and robots, including a high-end intelligent driving product matrix, a data closed-loop cloud factory, a remote cloud control operation platform, intelligent vehicle drive-by-wire technology and hardware that lead the future development direction, and the company's thinking on the future of robots.
High-end intelligent driving solutions to create the "strongest brain" for intelligent driving
Robo Soul's new high-end intelligent driving solution provided by Lotus Robotics can support end-to-end intelligent driving services, including high-speed roads, urban roads, parking and other scenarios, and intelligently respond to different road environments and weather conditions to improve user experience.
Lotus Robotics believes that the current intelligent driving system capabilities are not enough to meet all the expectations of users, so it needs to use background safety officers to make up for the user experience, and at the same time, the system improves the reliability, intelligence and comfort of intelligent driving through continuous data accumulation.
On this basis, Lotus Robotics proposes an intelligent driving operation solution: parallel guardian system, the core of which is to improve and make up.
It is understood that the parallel guardian system can fill the capability gap of the intelligent driving system without a driver. In the face of complex and changeable environments, the remote cloud control platform provides remote safety officers with guidance control, parallel driving and other solutions, assists distressed vehicles, and accelerates the mass production of high-level intelligent driving technology.
At the same time, Lotus Robotics also has Robo Galaxy, the world's leading intelligent driving cloud data factory, to improve the efficiency of intelligent driving testing. Through the intelligent driving SaaS tool chain solution, using the hybrid cloud concept, combined with the elastic computing power of the public cloud, the massive storage of the private cloud and the compliance processing of the confidential computer room, the whole process of data collection, compliance, annotation, training, and optimization services is completed, and a data-driven intelligent driving closed-loop system is built, and the data management and data display functions required for each process are provided to help the continuous upgrade and iteration of intelligent driving.
Drive-by-wire chassis builds strong limbs for intelligent driving
Lotus Robotics uses big data, large models and large strategies to achieve intelligent vehicle driving control, and provides customers with high-quality intelligent chassis system solutions.
Among them, the steer-by-wire system eliminates the mechanical connection parts between the steering wheel and the steering wheels, completely getting rid of the mechanical limitations of the traditional steering column, and has multiple advantages. Including weight reduction: weight can be optimized by 25%; Safety: fully redundant design; Intelligence: Personalized design of road sense transmission; Versatility: flexible layout, can be applied to different models; Controllability: controllable steering angle adjustment; Comfort: 200mm and 2 levels of storage are possible.
The chassis domain controller integrates and controls chassis subsystems such as steering, suspension, braking, and aerodynamics. Support networking: support ring networking, high-speed network interface; Shared: Support SOA software architecture; Intelligent: realize the overall control of each axial direction of the vehicle chassis; Electrification: Realization of X by wire, evolution from mechanical transmission to electronic wire control.
Robocube helps public services create more value
RoboCube is a new species business form that deploys L4 and above low-speed autonomous driving in the AI intelligent era, facing multiple public service fields, and is committed to becoming a value creator in the public service robot industry.
It is understood that the RoboCube intelligent cleaning robot integrates L4 autonomous driving technology, AI capabilities, and intelligent network technology to create an integrated sanitation solution of machine-road-person-cloud, and reconstruct the ecological relationship between environmental cleaning and people and cities.
RoboCube is based on RoboCube's Unlimitied Scalable Experience (USE architecture), and adopts the design concept of platform and modularization to realize building block combination and magic change, assist customers to quickly complete the development of automotive-grade robots, and provide partners with the best solutions in the field of public service robots.
The core unit of the Rubik's Cube architecture, the corner module, is an integrated and highly integrated full-wire control corner module drive unit (including drive, steering, and braking functions). The chassis of Robocube intelligent cleaning robot: V-ONE product is the industry's first universal chassis product built with Rubik's Cube architecture, which can realize dynamic mode and one-click switching.
Conclusion
With the development of science and technology and the change of lifestyle, the automobile has gradually penetrated into our life scene and constantly subverted its original positioning as a "vehicle".
Lotus believes that the car of the future will be a warm companion: it understands the driver's movements, daily habits, and lifestyle. By broadening the boundaries of the car with intelligence and turning the car into a real AI product, we can change the relationship between people and the car, which is exactly what Lotus is aiming for.
Under Lotus' "Vision 80" strategy, Lotus adheres to two major innovations to accelerate its global development: first, product innovation, completing the comprehensive transformation from a sports car to a pure electric intelligent life car; The second is technological innovation, from traditional fuel to electrification and intelligence.
2024 will be the first year of leapfrog development and popularization of intelligent driving, with the debut of the 2024 CES as a new starting point, Lotus Robotics will accelerate the innovation of intelligent driving technology and product implementation, iterative upgrading, lay a solid foundation for the Lotus "Vision 80" ten-year brand revival plan, accelerate the comprehensive transformation to electrification and intelligence, and inject new vitality into smart travel.
