近日，蒂森克虜伯電梯（北美）公司發(fā)布了一款為機(jī)器人設(shè)計(jì)的電梯界面面板，以便于在建筑內(nèi)為人們提供服務(wù)的機(jī)器人使用。通過電梯界面和輸送型機(jī)器人，建筑所有者或者服務(wù)經(jīng)理可以提高建筑內(nèi)的運(yùn)輸效率，提高生產(chǎn)效率，并優(yōu)化住戶使用感受。

早前，機(jī)器人無法獨(dú)立操作和使用電梯設(shè)備，這使得他們無法在建筑內(nèi)多個(gè)樓層進(jìn)行活動(dòng)?，F(xiàn)在，蒂森克虜伯開發(fā)了如此精妙的界面，聯(lián)通了機(jī)器人與電梯設(shè)備，讓機(jī)器人可以像普通乘客一樣，通過搭乘電梯到達(dá)目的樓層。有了這款電梯界面，機(jī)器人可以通過WiFi或4G網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)置電梯呼叫，選擇目的樓層，并在到達(dá)該樓層后離開電梯轎廂。而通過Machine Vision這一技術(shù)，機(jī)器人可以判斷轎廂能否容納自己從而選擇是否登上。

Thyssenkrupp launches elevator interface to allow multi-level robot movement throughout hotels, hospitals and other buildings

thyssenkrupp Elevator North America has launched a robotics interface platform to assist with robot delivery services throughout buildings. By incorporating the elevator interface with delivery robots, building owners and managers can improve inhouse logistics, increase productivity and maximize the tenant experience.

Previously, robots could not operate independently and use elevators, severely limiting their use within a multi-story building. Now, thyssenkrupp’s sophisticated interface allows communication between the robot and the elevator, which enables robots to make floor selections and use elevators like a normal passenger. The interface permits robots to act like human passengers, placing a call for an elevator via WiFi or 4G LTE, selecting a floor and then exiting the elevator upon reaching its destination. Using Machine Vision, a robot can determine if an elevator has enough room or if it’s too full to accommodate the robot.
