About Xiaosai 導覽機器人

小賽係一款專為展覽館同公眾參觀區域設計嘅導覽機器人。呢部機器人將翻譯、講解、導航同夜間巡邏功能集於一身,機身尺寸為550 x 400 x 620毫米,結構緊湊。外殼同頂部採用ABS材質，並配以金屬烤漆處理，底座為聚碳酸酯（PC）材質，四個輪子則採用TPE材質製造。參觀者可以透過語音呼叫機器人，並跟隨佢前往所選定嘅地點，喺嗰度LCD屏幕同語音會提供講解內容。展覽區域邊界會以投射警示線標示，當電量偏低時，機器人會自動返回充電點進行充電。

Unique Properties: An intelligent robot that integrates translation,explanation,navigation, night patrol and other functions.It can replace people to complete some technical tasks that are not too repetitive，And he is very small, does not need a lot of space, can run in any small space, there is no small intelligent explanation robot in the current robot application, it is more friendly and more beautiful to people.
Dimensions & Packaging: 550mmx400mmx620mm
Tags: Robot, intelligence, navigation, interactive system, automatic identification, wheeled, navigation robot, explain robot, welcome robot, technology,
Production Technology: The shell and top are made of ABS with painted metallic finish and the bottom is made of polycarbonate to ensure its light weight and high quality. The top display area can be adjusted in a small range, the screen is an LCD screen, and the four moving wheels are made of TPE material. for stability.
Design Challenge: For robotics applications, the ultimate goal of creating smaller, lighter, and more powerful actuators is to use them in robotics design, and the power of actuators often requires complex programming. Therefore, with Actuators are becoming more and more sophisticated, and how to achieve high-precision and high-complexity control through programming has also become one of the key issues in the development of robotic systems. Xiaosai is a small and feature-rich product. How to better compatibility with the system is the biggest problem.
Research: With the continuous development of artificial intelligence, the market's voice for an intelligent society is getting higher and higher, but artificial intelligence is still in the early stage of industry development, and intelligent robots still rely heavily on application scenarios. It is believed that with the continuous development of big data and other related fields, the application scenarios of intelligent agents will further increase in the future, and more and more functions can be implemented. Instead of repetitive work, it is also the most important development trend of robots.
Inspiration: Government public administration agencies in many countries and regions have gradually realized the harm of overtourism. After taking management measures such as erecting warning signs, increasing manpower diversion, and cleaning, the results were minimal. I wanted to use the power of technology to change this and reduce the damage to natural monuments and cultural relics, so I created this robot that can take over the repetitive tasks of watching and carrying people, inspired by my visit to a crowded net red card area
Project Duration: The project started in Zhengzhou, China in June 2020 and ended in Zhengzhou, China in December 2021
Operation Flow: When entering the exhibition hall, you can call the nearby robot by voice or call the robot to use it when he is not using it, and you can find relevant places and navigate on the top screen. Self-avoidance to prevent collisions. After leading to the designated location, the robot will use voice and screen to explain. During the explanation, a warning line will be projected to warn visitors to enter the exhibition area. When the battery is low, the robot will confidently plan a route and return to the charging pile for charging.
