At present, Cobos launched the RD55, a laser radar navigation sweeping robot. Neato launched the Botvac D series. Many smart sweeping robot brands have launched laser navigation technology, and the price is much higher than that of ordinary sweeping robots. At the same time, There are also a few brands of sweeping robots for visual navigation technology, such as iRobot, ILIFE, etc. So, laser navigation and visual navigation and sweeping robots, which is better?
Laser navigation: expensive technology to be precipitated
Laser navigation looks like 'high on', but its basic principle is the same as laser ranging, that is, the machine calculates the distance from the front obstacle by measuring the time from the emission to the reception of the laser. Only the laser ranging measurement is 1 time. Yes, laser navigation requires more point-to-point ranging to calibrate the position of the machine. Just like calibrating a point in a three-dimensional coordinate requires three coordinates. Laser navigation also requires multi-point ranging. Even a 360-degree continuous scan every second, recording the movement path of the machine in space. With the help of laser navigation technology and built-in computing chip, the intelligent sweeping robot can draw accurate spatial interior images to deal with various terrain environments of the family.
Although the sweeping robot brands such as Cobos test the water in the field of laser navigation sweeping robots, in view of the current status of the sweeping robot market, there are not many products equipped with laser navigation functions, and the sweeping robot equipped with laser navigation technology The product is just one of its many product series. The laser navigation technology is not mature. The basic principle of the laser navigation system is to emit the beam, then bounce back, to map the distance between the robot and the target location, and draw a map. The map is very basic, very two-dimensional image. Therefore, the real laser navigation sweeping robot market outbreak may take 1~2 years of technology precipitation and market breeding.
Visual navigation: reasonable price, mature technology
Scientific research statistics show that about 75% of humans get information from the outside world from vision. The visual system is the closest detection method between robot and human perception environment. Benefit from pattern recognition, machine vision development, vision-based robot positioning has become Research hotspot.
For example, the ILIFE Smart X800 sweeping robot with AI Vision Planning and Navigation 2.0 system is equipped with a high-definition camera in front of the fuselage, and is equipped with three AI intelligent processors. It uses CV-SLAM intelligent algorithm. The second-generation gyroscope navigation system allows the sweeping robot to quickly perceive the whole house environment, accurately self-locate and build maps in real time, thus achieving intelligent navigation and path planning, helping intelligent robots to perform independent computational reasoning in the home environment, motion planning and Real-time control, create visual landmarks on the map for position tracking, so as to master the cleaned area and the area that has not been cleaned, so as to complete the cleaning work quickly and efficiently.
In general, visual navigation technology is a multi-dimensional three-dimensional plan that can monitor the complex environment of the whole house. The laser navigation system is very basic and simple. In the future, through visual navigation, it can further identify where is the door, where It is a refrigerator, where is furniture, etc. Smart sweeping robots will become more visual and smarter. At present, visual navigation technology is a more mature navigation technology, and the price is more close to the people.
With the advancement of technology, it is foreseeable that visual navigation technology will undoubtedly have a broader development prospect. At the same time, the sweeping robot equipped with laser navigation technology will also become an important branch. Therefore, whether it is visual navigation or laser navigation, 2. It is an important technology in sweeping robot products.
