With development and demand, competition has also increased. At the same time, in the current market situation where the cleaning industry around the world relies heavily on manpower, it is not a small challenge to quickly replace manual cleaning with cleaning robots. Obviously, the market environment in which the European cleaning industry relies on manual cleaning is relatively stable. According to estimates, the current labor cost of commercial floor cleaning has reached the level of 100 billion. With the in-depth social changes brought about by urbanization and modernization, as well as the market environment with huge volume and relatively diversified demands, cleaning robots still have great market potential. The use of autonomous mobile robots is no longer limited to warehouse and factory settings, they are now being applied to commercial floor cleaning as well. You need to work with people to complete the work, but it will greatly improve work efficiency, greatly reduce costs, and greatly increase benefits. Demand for such robots has surged due to social distancing requirements, an emphasis on sanitation in public spaces and the novel coronavirus pandemic. In our opinion, what is a good boutique commercial cleaning robot?

High safety, cleanability and simple interaction

1. Safety performance: The logic is basically the same as that of the P0 level. Safety and reliability are the primary considerations when we use a commercial floor cleaning robot. If it is not safe, the robot is nothing. Although we have been emphasizing the issue of "accounting", money cannot be saved in terms of safety. When we designed the robot, we conducted a variety of research on different groups of people. We chose a suitable size and a lightweight body. In addition, there are 3-4 times redundant safety measures. For robots, the so-called redundancy means that lidar, vision, ultrasonic, and infrared perception can all be used, because every security measure has its blind spots and the possibility of failure in different environments. It is necessary to provide multiple security measures as much as possible to minimize possible risks. 2. Basic cleaning ability: The robot should cover as much as possible the part that people usually clean, and implement it according to the cleaning standards. Everyday dust, melon rinds, hair, common stains and residue should all be picked up. Objectively speaking, due to the balance between cost and function, some sanitary corners that do not need to be cleaned every day try not to require robots to do so. What cleaning robots should do is do repetitive, basic cleaning at current costs. 3. Simple interaction: The robot software should be very simple and easy to recognize. It should be as easy to use as WeChat and Douyin. The key words should be enlarged and the logo should be clear. The user of our robot is likely to be a cleaning aunt in her 50s or even 60s, making real users think that simplicity is really simple. Logically, if a person knows how to use WeChat, he should know how to use a robot.

Intelligent deployment, intelligent perception and low burden

1. Intelligent deployment: The basic intelligent deployment of autonomous floor cleaning robot, such as one-click map building, automatic full coverage, scheduled cleaning, etc., are relatively easy to understand, so let me say a few more words about the layout. At present, many robots in the commercial environment still need high-level deployment, that is, people need to go to the scene to conduct detailed analysis of the scene, deploy and build maps. We believe that it will soon become a low deployment situation with intelligent perception, semantic recognition, and environmental awareness. Then go to the remote deployment, and the engineers will guide the deployment online. The ultimate goal is no layout, a fully intelligent layout method that can be used after unpacking. 2. Intelligent perception: Humans are animals with very high perception. Although robots cannot achieve the high perception of humans, they should also be able to identify whether it is dirt or obstacles, whether it is a person or a wall, and whether it should perform edge wetting or obstacle avoidance. 3. Low burden: We found three cycles to describe it: operation cycle, maintenance cycle, repair cycle. We need to extend the operating cycle through intelligent level, extend the maintenance cycle through mechanical structure innovation, and extend the maintenance cycle through high reliability. In this way, the time cost can be reduced as much as possible for customers, and it can bring a low-burden sense of use.

Final summary

When faced with more complex spaces in the cleaning process, such as tables, chairs, benches, art sculptures, vases, antique racks, etc., the cost may increase tenfold or even a hundredfold for robots, but the time spent for humans will not increase. Therefore, at the current stage of technological development, it is unaccountable for robots to replace everything. What robots need to do is to expand human performance. Only when they are used in the right place can they truly achieve the purpose of improving efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing profits. In a high-end boutique space, the sweeping robot should not be too obtrusive. In the scene, when we need to show it, it can be launched as a highlight, but more often the customer's scene is the protagonist. When the experiencer sits quietly on the sofa and observes the whole scene, and sees the robot inadvertently, he will think that this is pretty good, and this is our purpose. Therefore, we need to integrate into the customer environment, to be inadvertently amazed, to have a glimpse, without the existence of the so-called visual hammer. Whether it is a courtyard scene or a commercial scene, through strong R&D strength, it constantly subverts the scene experience, and then promotes the process of its robotic development. "Let robots serve everyone", on the road to becoming the world's top robot company, aigostar is moving towards more life, production, and ecological scenarios, building a more complete service robot ecosystem, and continuously promoting the transformation and development of the industry.
