Abstract

Robotics has been the central idea behind flexible automation since its roots. Over the past 60 years, the range of application fields is widening greatly, stepping forward boosted by major technological advancements. Today, the mechatronics under the robots' cover is so developed that it barely limits our imagination when considering a manipulation task or a locomotion-related problem. In the recent era of new-wave robotics, the challenge is to achieve the seamless, highperformance interplay in the jungle of advanced sensors, AIdriven machine cognition, closed-loop control, and the underlying bare metal. There are a wide variety of relatively new areas in which the application of robots gains clear economic motivation. One such area is the agri-food sector, especially the fruit, vegetable, and mushroom harvesting, where human resources render an ever-narrowing bottleneck. At the same time, the crop yield and the overall efficiency pushed higher and higher. Another exciting field is the automation of life science laboratories. COVID-19 has clearly shown that the throughput of pharmaceutical research is crucial when a global epidemic threatens humankind. My talk will focus on two projects that emerged in the practice of the iROB Center of Óbuda University: The first one is the robotic harvesting of button mushrooms and the related planning problems. The other one is the automatic manipulation of microscope slides. Besides giving insight into these topics, the lecture will also uncover the general background and outlook of some promising research directions that potentially bring a paradigm change in robotic automation.
机器人技术脱离主流:农业食品和实验室自动化专题:全体会议
自诞生以来,机器人技术一直是柔性自动化背后的核心思想。60年来,在重大技术进步的推动下,应用领域不断扩大。如今,在机器人的掩护下,机电一体化是如此发达,以至于在考虑操作任务或运动相关问题时,它几乎不会限制我们的想象力。在最近的新浪潮机器人时代,挑战是在先进传感器、人工智能驱动的机器认知、闭环控制和底层裸机的丛林中实现无缝、高性能的相互作用。在许多相对较新的领域,机器人的应用获得了明确的经济动机。其中一个领域是农业食品部门,特别是水果、蔬菜和蘑菇收获,人力资源瓶颈日益缩小。与此同时,作物产量和综合效益也越来越高。另一个令人兴奋的领域是生命科学实验室的自动化。COVID-19清楚地表明,当全球流行病威胁人类时,药物研究的吞吐量至关重要。我的演讲将集中在Óbuda大学iROB中心实践中出现的两个项目:第一个是钮扣菇的机器人收获和相关的规划问题。另一个是显微镜载玻片的自动操作。除了对这些主题进行深入探讨外,讲座还将揭示一些有前途的研究方向的一般背景和前景,这些方向可能会带来机器人自动化的范式变化。
