Robot technologies continue to gain a new dimension with advancements in manufacturing. Energy management, however, stands out as one of the most significant challenges in this field. Companies aiming to solve this problem are developing new systems to enable robots to work more independently. Most recently, China-based UBTech has drawn attention with its humanoid robot that can change its own battery.
China-based UBTech has taken a notable step in robot technology. The company’s humanoid robot, named Walker S2, can change its own battery without human assistance. This new technology could revolutionize robot energy management, especially in manufacturing environments.
This robot, named Walker S2, can handle the battery replacement process entirely on its own. As demonstrated in its unveiling, the robot can remove its battery and insert a new one in approximately three minutes. Moreover, while performing this entire operation, it autonomously goes to the charging station, removes the empty battery, inserts the spare one, and continues working from where it left off.
Robot Ensures Uninterrupted Operation with Dual Battery System
UBTech designed this robot to provide uninterrupted service in industrial environments. The dual battery system in the Walker S2 ensures the robot continues to operate if there’s an issue with the main power source. The robot can also autonomously choose between battery replacement or charging based on task urgency.
The company is also continuing its work on the BrainNet system, which enables robots to work collaboratively. Thanks to this system, robots in the Walker series can perform tasks synchronously on a production line via a common artificial intelligence network. This allows them to execute operations such as assembly, quality control, and material handling more efficiently.
The systems introduced by UBTech demonstrate that robots in manufacturing can not only perform physical tasks but also play an active role in energy management and task coordination.
