Zeekr, part of the Geely Holding Group, has started using humanoid robots in its car manufacturing plant, just like the company Nio is doing.
The robot, called Walker S Lite, which was produced by the company UBTech Robotics, began to be used in Zeek’s factory in early July. It is a light robot that helps in lifting various loads and meets the highest industrial standards.
As he states Klix.ba, the work of the robot is part of a collaboration between the companies UBTech, Geely Holding and Miracle Automation Engineering. During three weeks of on-site training, the Walker S Lite used VSLAM (Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) navigation, end-to-end imitation learning, visual recognition and fine motion control for autonomous navigation and operation alongside automated guided vehicles (AGVs) on a variety of production sites. lines.
Equipped with high-performance servo drives and 6-dimensional force sensors, the Walker S Lite can stably lift boxes weighing 15 kilograms while moving.
The adoption of humanoid robots in the Zeekr company also represents a new step forward towards further automation in the production of electric vehicles. In February, UBTech released a video of its Walker S robot in Nio’s factory, where it performed various tasks such as checking the quality of door locks, seat belts, logo placement, and the like. This event was UBTech’s first on-site training for the Walker S robot in an electric car factory.
