The dual-arm collaborative patrol and operation robot "Junyi" is put into service in the distribution room.
As the global industry ushers in the golden age of embodied intelligence, mobile manipulation robots with perception, interaction, and decision-making capabilities, as the core carriers of industrial embodied intelligence, are accelerating their applications in industries such as automobile manufacturing, 3C electronics, semiconductors, and new energy, becoming the backbone force driving industrial upgrading.
In the high-voltage room of a 220-kilovolt substation of Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid, the dual-arm collaborative inspection and operation robot "Junyi" is conducting inspection operations in a high-risk environment. Through high-precision dual-arm collaborative multi-threaded parallel operations, it can complete complex tasks such as switchgear inspection, button operation, and handle switching, achieving stable and efficient unmanned inspection operations.
This dual-arm collaborative inspection and operation robot "Junyi" completed the verification in the actual operation and maintenance scenario before the 15th National Games and the Paralympic Games and Special Olympic Games, and was officially put into operation and maintenance, shouldering the important responsibility of safeguarding the safety of the power grid. As an important member of the "Tianyan" series of Youibot's general embodied intelligent robot matrix, "Junyi" addresses the pain points in the power inspection operation environment, such as complex environment, low manual efficiency and prone to errors, discrete inspection data, and traditional robots' linear operation/operation relying on pre-programmed procedures. It can not only efficiently and accurately complete the distribution room inspection operation tasks through technologies such as autonomous learning, but also connect independent systems such as the power grid management platform, production information platform, and intelligent anti-misoperation system through the industry vertical model, realizing the connectivity of enterprise operation and maintenance data and assisting enterprises in making scientific management decisions.
The successful implementation of "Junyi" stems from the profound application accumulation of Youibot, a leading player in domestic industrial embodied intelligence, in the field of industrial embodied intelligence. Under the "one brain, multiple forms" industrial embodied intelligence architecture, "Junyi" takes the highly generalized industrial embodied intelligence model (MAIC) as the core, with excellent environmental adaptability and high generalization ability. Without repeated customized development, it can be applied to the operation of switchgear of different models after simple debugging, realizing "one-key" full-process inspection and switching operations, significantly reducing the deployment and adaptation costs of the robot.
At the hardware level, "Junyi" is equipped with an omnidirectional high-speed mobile chassis, achieving millimeter-level precise positioning through the fusion of laser navigation algorithm technology (Fusion Slam). The high-precision dual arms cooperate to achieve multi-threaded parallel operations. The load capacity of the dual arms reaches 5 kilograms, and the repeated positioning accuracy of operations reaches ±0.1 millimeters, greatly improving the inspection efficiency and operation safety.
Based on the flexible design of the microservice architecture, "Junyi" supports agile iteration and function expansion to adapt to business growth, with strong cross-scenario deployment capabilities. It can be further extended to unattended scenarios such as power stations and data computer rooms to meet diverse and complex intelligent operation and maintenance needs.
According to the prediction of Frost & Sullivan, the global market size of mobile manipulation robot solutions will grow from 9.2 billion yuan in 2024 to 156.9 billion yuan in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 60.4%. Its proportion in the global market size of embodied intelligent robots will increase from 11.2% in 2024 to 42.7% in 2030, further expanding the market space.
In this rapidly expanding market, mobile manipulation robots show a multi-form development trend. As "intelligent flexible operation units", special-purpose mobile manipulation robots meet the rigid requirements of "high precision, high efficiency, and high reliability" in highly structured scenarios such as precision manufacturing with their extremely optimized performance. General-purpose mobile manipulation robots represented by humanoid robots are suitable for unstructured and general environments, playing a role in a wider range of scenarios.
As a general embodied intelligent robot, "Junyi" finds the best balance in the inspection and operation and maintenance scenario. It not only has the professional ability to handle complex operation and maintenance tasks but also has the flexibility to quickly adapt to different on-site environments, providing an innovative paradigm for the large-scale implementation of mobile manipulation robots in professional fields.
As a pioneer and leader in global industrial embodied intelligence, Youibot focuses on the mobile manipulation robot track with great growth potential and scenario adaptability. Relying on the innovative "one brain, multiple forms" embodied intelligent robot solution, it expands the depth and breadth of the application of mobile manipulation robots and has achieved large-scale application first in the semiconductor and energy and chemical industries with strict requirements for products and technologies, establishing a leading advantage. According to the Frost & Sullivan report, based on the revenue statistics in 2024, Youibot ranks first in the global industrial mobile manipulation robot field, first in the Chinese semiconductor industry, and second in the energy and chemical industry.
