00:02All right, so welcome back, or hello again for those who are still here.
00:09So we said robots, right?
00:11We promised robots at Discovery Stage, and you're going to get them, absolutely.
00:15And this little guy goes by the name of Unitree,
00:18and I think he's looking to be man's new best friend.
00:23So with more here to tell us more, I present Unitree.
00:30Okay, can you hear me?
00:32All right, hello, my name is Matti.
00:35Greetings from northern Finland.
00:38It was a nice 7,000 kilometer drive down here in South,
00:43where it seems that all the people live.
00:47We represent here, first of all, our company, ProBot,
00:52which is located in Finland,
00:54but especially we bring you today the Unitree robots.
00:59So Unitree is a Chinese robot manufacturer,
01:04which is focused on especially all sort of legged robots, walking robots,
01:11and they have took the challenge of becoming more or less the next DGI.
01:18So you can imagine taking the walking robots to more closer for the consumer customers,
01:29so no longer need to pay too much about having a robot dock.
01:35It's easier at the moment for all sort of universities researchers to approach walking robotics
01:42because of the cost efficiency of the platform.
01:45I can tell you that this one, the very basic model starts from around 3,000 euros,
01:50so it's much more easy to approach for all sort of different types of researchers,
01:58just to get them some idea of how they could use different kind of walking robots.
02:07Just to give you, I'm not sure how many of you are so familiar with robotics,
02:13but there are plenty of robot arms.
02:16You all have seen them in factories.
02:18There is a lot of robots with wheels driving around, doing logistics.
02:23It has been done already on the 60s.
02:26The walking robots is something that has become, let's say, more popular during the last couple of years.
02:33And I would say that especially thanks to the Boston Dynamics,
02:38who has been entertaining us with very nice walking robots.
02:44So I've been saying at the booth that if the Boston Dynamics is the Mercedes of the walking robots,
02:52the unit 3 might be the Toyota Prius.
02:55So it's no difference.
02:57There is different brands, different price categories, different ways to use the platform.
03:04Some technical details about this.
03:06It has four embedded PC inside.
03:09It runs on Linux operating system.
03:13So it's very easy to approach it by doing your own programs.
03:17Python, C++, using ROS interface if needed.
03:22So it's, let's say, quite ready-to-go package for software developers.
03:29But also, I would say that it has nice features already now for the future consumer customers.
03:39So it has all sort of companion modes, following the master, teaching who is the master for the doc.
03:45And having gesture recognition, all sort of gestures.
03:52If you buy the robot with 2D or 3D lidar, it's able to build maps, order it point to point,
04:01go to kitchen, do this and do that.
04:04So basically, it's already quite close to everyday homes.
04:15And you might think of where these robots might be used.
04:20So it's quite a typical question.
04:23What do you do with it?
04:24I already told you the price because that's typically the first question.
04:29So walking robots are having a certain place on mobile robotics.
04:35There is place, places where you can call with wheeled platforms, as you see in the next presentation.
04:44And, but there is so harsh conditions where you probably, the only way to approach it is by walking in
04:53there.
04:54This one is probably not for the catastrophic areas or something like that.
04:59This is very nice pink, the color which I choose myself.
05:05So the unit 3 has also bigger models like the B1 has like a continuous payload of 40 kilos.
05:12And it has a weatherproofing of IP65.
05:15So you can imagine that that's really something for towards the industry.
05:20And this is more like towards the consumer customers.
05:27And basically the applications I was mentioning.
05:34This is good for all sort of logistics, all sort of surveillance walks, all sort of area mapping or building
05:46with the 3D scanner, building the 3D map for the area.
05:50And the company, which I'm representing, is very focused on creating the virtual reality models and creating real world application
06:03based on the point clouds, etc.
06:06So this is basically the number one tool for us, creating the point clouds in our work.
06:15But yeah, I would say that at this point, the unit 3 robots are at the same point that drones
06:27were something like four or five years ago.
06:29So the price tag was some 2,000, 3,000 euros.
06:34I don't know.
06:34I used to build my first own drone when they still cost over 10,000 euros.
06:39That's why I built my own.
06:40But this one, which definitely in 3, 4 years, you will find that the robot dogs become more like consumer
06:49priced, something around 1,000 euros.
06:53The features become much more easy to approach.
06:56And I can somehow predict that the robot dogs will eventually have the same kind of role that drones used
07:04to have.
07:04People used to buy them for a hobby.
07:06Then they started to think that, hey, this is cool.
07:09I want to find my business based on flying the drones.
07:12What will I do with it?
07:14Aerial photographing, mapping the area.
07:16So I think that the robot dogs can be found more or less in the similar situation where people find
07:23their future business based on different kind of walking platforms.
07:27Of course, with the wheeled platforms, I'm really excited waiting for your presentation, guys.
07:32I'm a huge fan of you.
07:36So there is place for all sort of robotics.
07:39So not only wheeled, not only drones flying, not only diving robots, but also walking robots.
07:45I don't know, maybe somehow rolling robots inside a ball.
07:50Everything is something beyond the traditional industry automation with the robot arm only, mounted in one spot, having certain reads.
08:00So this robot has the reads of the age of the battery, I would say.
08:06Okay.
08:10Thank you.
08:11You got until the end of this.
08:1230 seconds.
08:13Should I give a sing?
08:15All right.
08:16Great.
08:17Just a quick question.
08:18I'm curious.
08:19So what you're saying is that this, when it becomes commercially available for the consumer and people will be buying
08:26it for a thousand euro.
08:28I would say that at the moment, if you send me an email, it will be delivered in three weeks.
08:37But I would say that it's not really the strategic version for the unitry itself, but I believe that in
08:46one and a half year, we will see a version which costs a third of this.
08:54And basically what you're saying is that once the people start playing with it, they might actually discover ways to
08:59integrate it and create the businesses or uses out of it, which are not quite maybe thought of yet.
09:05You know, I would say that I believe that it's going to happen eventually.
09:11We have seen it with drones, for example.
09:13With drones, yes.
09:14Okay.
09:15People bought them because it was nice to fly.
09:17Then they started to think that, okay, I spent 2,000 euros for the drone.
09:21How do I get a return of investment?
09:23Right.
09:23Right.
09:23Exactly.
09:24Yeah.
09:24Yeah.
09:25Because I've seen the video.
09:26It looks great.
09:26I mean, it's a lovely thing.
09:27But the guy was just using it to walk his Coke can down the street.
09:30So I'm sure that there's other things that it can be taken to.
09:33Okay.
09:33Everybody, ladies and gentlemen, Unitry.
09:39He's very cute.
09:40Yeah.
09:41Okay.
09:44So that's a robot that can pretty much get anywhere.
09:48And speaking of another robot which can access all areas, these guys are called Ascento.
09:57And I'm looking to see if we have one.
09:59Ah, yes, we do.
10:00So, ladies and gentlemen, Ascento has arrived.
10:03Round of applause.
10:15Hi, guys.
10:16Good evening.
10:17Or good afternoon.
10:18Yeah.
10:19We actually played quite a bit with robots during our studies.
10:22And so we now think we have a way on what we can do with such a robot.
10:28Our goal is to build a robot that can be used for automated, all-terrain, and it is truly scalable
10:34for inspection tasks.
10:38When we asked ourselves for what we can use such a robot, we saw that there are quite a few
10:42industries which are super underdeveloped, really not digitized.
10:46So when we had a look at this industry, we saw that these industries like 3D scanning, security, or structure
10:52assessment, they still use a lot of people in the process of gathering data.
10:58We then looked a bit at the numbers and found out that they spent over one-third of their time
11:02to just do very monotonous data collection tasks.
11:06And this could really, this really makes people not so happy with their work, makes them to quit job, creates
11:12high turnover rates, makes it super difficult to staff the positions.
11:16Another thing that we found out, that there are quite a few accidents happening, so why not use such a
11:22cool robot?
11:24And with that, I would like to hand over to Dominic.
11:30So Alessandro introduced the concept of a human, the next logical step would then be to use a wheeled robot.
11:39And we know wheeled robots are great because they can do repetitive, dangerous, and costly tasks.
11:47And they can be used in controlled indoor environments, but that's actually it.
11:53So the terrain capability is not really there.
11:57The next step would then be to use legged systems, as we saw before.
12:01Legged systems are great because they can go through terrain, can go wherever humans can go.
12:07But the problem there is they cost quite much.
12:13Okay, this one is not that expensive, but the example of Boston Dynamics, then it gets more costly there.
12:20The range is not that good, especially if you put payload.
12:25And that's it.
12:26But what we could think of is, why not add wheels to the walking system?
12:32Because then, we still have the high cost, but we have range that we can now cover.
12:40Because wheeled robots, they can drive around really efficiently.
12:44But we thought of a next step, to simplify the system, we introduced the Accentor concept.
12:51So we have a balancing bipedal system, which combines the advantages of wheels and legs.
12:58So it's more cost effective, we can sell it at half the cost of a Boston Dynamics spot, it can
13:06still go almost through all the terrain, it has about five times the range of a Boston Dynamics spot, and
13:14we can carry payload up to 10 kilos without compromising any battery life.
13:20So, enough theory, here is a small video.
13:25So, enough theory, here is a small video.
13:48So, enough theory, here is a small video.
13:50So, enough info, here is a small video.
14:30Cool, c'est un vidéo, c'est génial, mais nous allons faire un petit démo, on a aussi brought
14:35ce robot, ce qui est vraiment spécial, c'est vraiment agile, c'est un robot très petit,
14:40il peut conduire vite, on a top speeds de 15 km par heure, on ne peut pas montrer ça ici
14:46de sécurité, mais c'est plutôt cool, ce que vous pouvez aussi faire, c'est que le robot
14:51peut aller sur les obstacles, qui nous simulateons ici, en train de conduire sur le foot, il peut
14:58aussi conduire sur un terrain, donc il peut vraiment lift le leg, le robot n'a pas d'acier,
15:04il a une comprécie d'acier d'acier d'acier, c'est bien sûr, c'est bien sûr, on peut
15:11faire
15:11le pushing aussi, c'est bon, c'est bon, c'est bon, c'est bon, c'est bon, c'est
15:15bon, c'est
15:16c'est bon.
15:19Je fais donc ce principe, c'est l' cualquier Wet'suw, c'est un ně de该 chiudier,
15:22car j'ai une�là dans le papier essaye d'acier, alors on dire à son
15:25des designs d'acier, ainsi qu'au seul côté des objets, il faut Through-Studio
15:26qui sera passant sur son adversaire à face de la tests, ce que le robot到底
15:42Il n'existe pas, il a des sensors qui te dit où il est,
15:47afin qu'il puisse faire ce genre de choses.
15:50Mais vous allez probablement demander à ce qu'on peut utiliser cette robot.
15:56Oh, c'est le démo que vous avez vu.
15:58Pour cette vidéo, nous avons une petite vidéo qui montre ça.
16:15C'est parti.
16:43C'est parti.
17:17Merci beaucoup pour votre attention.
17:19Si vous avez des questions, nous sommes à la booth G30.
17:23Si vous venez là, vous pouvez aussi essayer d'aider.
17:27Et nous allons vous montrer la vidéo si vous voulez.
17:29Merci beaucoup.
17:31C'est Ascente.
17:32Merci beaucoup, guys.
17:34I just have a question on my side.
17:36Basically, vous parlez sur les applications.
17:38What can it be used for?
17:39Yes.
17:39I just have time for one question.
17:41You showed some ideas, but you didn't tell us what they are.
17:45Are we talking about urban surveillance, security, police, these kinds of things?
17:50I think the way you can think about it is all these applications where people walk long distances and carry
17:56some sort of sensors.
17:57And this sensor is either a camera, a laser scanner, and that happens in quite a few places.
18:04And some of these places are pretty ready for a robot to take over because they have really difficulties to
18:11find people.
18:12Others are still too advanced, but this is exactly where we start.
18:15So this could, for example, chase after a shoplifter or something like that, right?
18:20I guess it could, yeah.
18:22All right.
18:23All right.
18:24Ladies and gentlemen, Ascente, give them a round of applause.
18:29All right.
18:35Okay.
18:35We're going to take a break, apparently, for four o'clock.
18:38Understood.
18:39So have a break.
18:40Have a snack.
18:42Don't let that thing chase you.
18:44Ha, ha, ha, ha.
