On August 23, the second World Humanoid Robotics Competition featured a critical contest in precision assembly. The Lingxin Qiaoshou team completed the assembly of 18 screws in five minutes, achieving a score of 17 out of 18, winning the gold medal with an 8-point lead over the second place. This team was the only one to participate in all eight events using a fully autonomous mode, while most competitors opted for remote control to navigate environmental uncertainties.
The significance of this achievement lies in the team's commitment to fully autonomous operations, which allows robots to independently perceive, decide, and execute tasks in complex environments. This approach not only showcases the robot's capabilities but also addresses the challenges of transitioning from laboratory conditions to real-world industrial applications. The competition environment simulated real industrial conditions, emphasizing the importance of stability and adaptability in robotic operations.
The core hardware supporting this success is the Linker Hand O6, a high-performance dexterous hand developed by Lingxin Qiaoshou. Weighing only 370 grams, it can handle loads up to 50 kilograms, demonstrating a significant advantage in both lightweight design and heavy-duty performance. The team's advancements in precision positioning, robust visual capabilities, and closed-loop force control systems are crucial for the future of intelligent manufacturing and automation in various industries.
