Application of Apache E7 series industrial computer minipicecan card in meal delivery robot

Restaurant delivery robots are already very popular , Especially in the medium and high-end restaurants in the first tier cities , Everyone is used to restaurant robots , The restaurant also has a lot of cost control , Next, Pu Shu technology introduces the four common functions of restaurant robots and the future development trend of restaurant robots .

One 、 There are four common functions of restaurant robots

1、 Walking movement
The robot can walk back and forth, left and right, and can bypass obstacles by itself ; If you encounter objects that cannot be bypassed, such as walls , The robot will stop moving by itself ;

2、 Navigation movement
Robots can build their own maps in unknown environments , And accurately locate the current position of the robot through sensors , Realize intelligent navigation movement .

3、 Touch screen interaction
The robot's screen can play music 、 Multimedia files such as videos , Users can realize various search functions by clicking the button on the human-computer interface .

4、 Voice interaction
Over Wireless Pad Mike of the remote control , Realize the voice conversation function between human and robot ; Such as : Say to Mike : Hello , The robot will answer : Hello .

Two 、 The future development trend of restaurant delivery robots

1、 Intelligent robot family
With the rapid development of information and life 、 Speed up the pace of work , People need to get rid of the complicated family work ; With the aging of China becoming more and more serious, this situation , More old people need to be taken care of , The demand for social security and services is also more urgent . The vast market of home service robots will be brewing , For example, home care robots 、 The toy robot 、 Security control robot 、 Cleaning robots will be needed .

2、 Intelligent robot modularization
at present , Robot technology is developing towards intelligent machines and intelligent systems , Its development trend is mainly : Modularization and reconfiguration of the structure ; Openness of control technology 、PC And networking ; Digitalization and decentralization of servo drive technology ; The practicality of multi-sensor fusion technology ; The optimization of working environment design, the flexibility of operation, and the networking and intellectualization of the system . And if you want to be really like TV 、 Computers and other household appliances are equally popular , The key lies in standardization and modularity .

3、 Intelligent robot industrialization
In the future, for the development of robot industrialization , The developed robot must be applied in practice , Using robots is the same as using other mechanical products , Is to determine the development goal , The second is to evaluate its cost , These two points are very important .

3、 ... and 、E7DS It is a high-performance multi I/O Embedded computer , use 14 Ultra low power consumption of nanotechnology 、64 Bit multi-core processor , Fully support the latest Intel?

Meet real time RTOS Time accurate and low delay CAN Communication requirements .
Solution ：

Now? , Many robot projects need to go CANbus Communications .PCI Express mini The industrial computer or single board computer with card slot can be expanded quickly 1~2 road CAN The sharp weapon of the passage .
As an open field communication protocol ,CAN Communication is widely used in embedded industrial control and Manufacturing Networks . at present , It is also widely used in the service robot industry CAN Communication does chassis motion control .CAN Communication gradually replaces pulses in motion control 、 Analog quantity 、RS232 Communication control , Become the mainstream control mode of service robot movement , Mainly because of the strong real-time 、 The transmission distance is long 、 Strong anti electromagnetic interference ability 、 Support one to many and broadcast centralized data transmission .
