As the core technology of a new round of industrial revolution, artificial intelligence received national attention, especially in the field of robotics, favorable policies and capital of all ages, so that large and small companies have sprung up robot. Including some good robot business, but most of their strength is still much room for development, more in zanji stage.
Not long ago, the State Quality Supervision and Inspection Center of the robot using the open-source operating system on the market, service robots for centralized evaluation found that there are many problems these robots:
1. Most of the robot using a plain text unencrypted data transmission, may *** easily access data packets, and these packets forgery and tampering;
2. Built wireless AP, it is easy to control vulnerabilities using weak passwords illegal packets to implement control;
the laser radar data carrying the AP for remote debugging, the sensor data is exposed, may easily modify *** radar data;
4. lack of identity verification mechanism of the robot, pose a threat;
5. robot operating system using central node communication mechanism, there is a problem when the central node goes down, the entire system will be paralyzed.

Questions like these open source systems alone can not solve all, developers need to design a comprehensive communications scheduling mechanisms to avoid potential safety problems above, the robot companies have abandoned the pursuit of the upper layer is the communication mechanism of ROS, autonomous navigation of robots with their own R & D avoidance or buy existing mature market positioning and navigation programs, such companies will often go further.
Instead of buying several motors and wheels, along with the matching motor drive, and then integrating ultrasonic, radar, infrared and other sensors, coupled with a small PC, running an open source ROS, we will be able to build a simple map and navigation, and everyone knows, this is just the laboratory stage, from the real robots short of great length.
From the service robot now has navigation technology point of view, autonomous robot navigation technology services business has matured, it has basically realized walking is not a problem indoors.
For service robots, in addition to the functions of voice interaction, content and other ecological aspects of software implementation, other important parts are reflected in the above robot chassis, robot chassis carries the autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance robot's capabilities, has been used as a subdivision category independent, it also illustrates the importance of appearance robot chassis, not only saves development time and costs, but also accelerate product development, seize the rapid growth of service robots outlet.
The outbreak of the market depends on the progress of multi-sensor fusion, technical barriers to the robot chassis that multi-sensor fusion of different scenarios have a certain technical threshold. From a physical perspective, the robot chassis is mainly numerous integrated sensor, a laser radar, binocular vision, ultrasound, infrared, and a hub motor, etc. necessary wheel suspension. And how will the physical level hardware collection, you need the appropriate corresponding algorithms and software technology.
Currently, the market, the size of the domestic robot market continues to expand, robot chassis for high-performance requirements are becoming increasingly strong. IDC expects the data, 2014--2019 global robot market size CAGR of 17%, this rate of development, by 2019, the global robot market size was $ 135.4 billion, a huge room for growth. By 2020, annual sales income of more than 30 billion yuan, is expected 2016--2020 annual compound growth rate of 71.8%.
By the end of 2017, the Ministry also issued a "promote the development of a new generation of artificial intelligence industry three-year action plan (2018-2020)", the report said that by 2020, smart home service robots, intelligent robots to achieve mass production and public service applications.
Market rigid demand and promote two-way policy, coupled with mature technology, service robots volume can be expected. The rise of the foundation and conditions of service robot industry already has, especially the development of robot chassis, so that more and more robots can achieve independent walking room.
In the past, our enterprises are using mobile chassis products abroad, expensive, but in recent years, with the rise of a handful of excellent chassis business, more and more companies are choosing robot chassis domestic product, is the number does not think Lan Technology more than one.
思岚科技是我国最早推出商用机器人底盘的企业，目前旗下的ZEUS系列底盘产品已广泛应用于餐厅、商场、银行、园区、展会等各类服务场所，在实现机器人的自主导航、避障等功能上具有领先优势，以基于ZEUS底盘研发的Jupiter为例，Jupiter是一台智能广告引导机器人，内置了思岚科技最核心的定位导航技术，拥有自主定位导航避障、智能巡逻、语音交互、视频通话等多种功能。
Jupiter不仅知道自己所在位置，还能知道自己该往哪里去，当然，这一切都离不开高精度地图的帮助。其内置了思岚科技自主研发的高性能定位导航系统SLAMWARE，利用SharpEdge精细化构图技术构建高精度、厘米级别地图，为自主定位导航提供精准的、无需二次修饰的、与用户心理预期建图最贴合的地图数据。在地图构建好后，还能根据区域进行相关的兴趣点、巡逻点、虚拟墙和虚拟轨道等功能的部署。
1.兴趣点
在地图上设置兴趣点（POI），就是对地图上一些具体位置进行详细的标注，可以更加方便的引导人在一个完全陌生的环境里迅速到达目的地。
兴趣点导航
2.设置虚拟墙/虚拟轨道
除了可以设置兴趣点之外，还可以利用软件对Jupiter进行虚拟墙和虚拟轨道设置，加深Jupiter理解环境中的逻辑问题。
在商场使用时，商铺的“外墙”基本上都是玻璃，其次，多楼层之间难免存在楼梯、扶手式电梯等情况。虽然Jupiter身载超声波、防碰撞、防跌落、深度摄像头等传感器，能够有效识别玻璃、镜子等高透材质，应对高低台阶等情况，但是为了确保安全，降低人力看守的时间，用户可利用软件画一道虚拟墙做安全保障，避免意外的发生。
构建虚拟墙
3.人群围绕防丢失
机器人一旦投入到实际环境中去应用，尤其是商场，人流嘈杂、拥挤、人流量大、不断移动、室内无线设备多干扰多，Jupiter随时会面临被人群围绕完全无法移动的情况，那么，这个时候如何保证机器人时刻“清醒”，不丢失不偏离呢？
Jupiter被人群包围
When Jupiter is completely surrounded by the crowd, first of all it will be intelligent obstacle avoidance, guaranteed not to collide with people. Secondly, the rotation will be in place to ensure that the map is not lost without departing for reliable position after completely changing environment.
4. Global Relocation
When Jupiter is artificially moved position, pose deviation, in addition to manually adjust or set the map, the relocation function may also be used. Click "SLAM- relocation" on RoboStudio software, marquee robot trusted area, you can enter the repositioning calculations, restore the correct position and orientation of the robot.
The self-recharge
Using laser technology on the pile, without adding additional sensors, to achieve self-recharge. After the work is completed every day, Jupiter can return to self-charging piles charge, re-use just open the machine, it will leave the self-charging pile.
Autonomous navigation technology is an important skill essential mobile service robots, service robots for the rapid realization of commercial floor, more and more companies have chosen to market existing mature program, with the continuous expansion of the service robot applications scenarios, based on the bottom of the upper robot applications development demand is getting stronger.
