On February 11, most parts of the country ushered in the resumption of work and production. According to the National Development and Reform Commission, except Hubei Province, 31 other provinces in China have arranged for enterprises to resume work and production. However, the inflection point of the epidemic is still unknown, and the situation is still grim. The prevention and control of the epidemic is still the top priority of all our current work. It is understood that, for example, most office buildings in Beijing still control the entry and exit of personnel, and at the same time, some units still choose to work online to reduce the flow and contact between personnel.
According to the statistics of National Health Commission, there were 381 newly confirmed cases outside Hubei on February 11, which showed a downward trend for the seventh consecutive day. This shows that the closed management of large and small communities and communities nationwide has played a significant role. In the face of infectious and long incubation period, it is the duty of every citizen to actively reduce the frequency of going out and reduce the contact between people.
reducing personal contact and unmanned distribution is the best solution
Recently, unmanned vehicles have appeared in many parts of the country, and its scale is also the largest in history.
on February 11, the first robot for sanitation, epidemic prevention and disinfection in Jiangxi province, the unmanned disinfection vehicle, arrived in Poyang, and was delivered to the urban management department for disinfection and disinfection in communities and villages in the city. According to the staff of Poyang County Environmental Sanitation Institute, unmanned driving can effectively reduce the infection of sanitation workers in the epidemic area and reduce the chance of contact. It can completely enter the infected area and drive according to the map route designed in advance for disinfection.
The disinfection vehicle is powered by electricity, with a battery life of 8 hours, full of 1.2 tons of disinfection water, and it only takes a few minutes to fill it. It can kill all communities and villages in the city in an all-round way without dead ends, which can effectively reduce the risk of infection of workers.
Futian district of Shenzhen also took the lead in using unmanned automatic sanitation sweepers during the epidemic. The unmanned full-automatic sanitation cleaning robot can accomplish cleaning, sprinkling water, garbage collection and other work independently, and maximize work efficiency. In this invisible smoke, the emergence of unmanned fully automatic sanitation cleaning robots and semi-automatic high-temperature and high-pressure cleaning vehicles has greatly guaranteed the safety of front-line sanitation workers.
in Zibo, Shandong province, a logistics company also conducted trial operation for the first time on an unmanned delivery vehicle, which was loaded with nearly 1 tons of fresh vegetables and sailed to a destination 2 kilometers away. After stopping and unloading automatically at the designated location, the unmanned vehicle automatically returns to the starting point and continues to complete? 4? Second vegetable delivery. According to reports, the unmanned delivery vehicle named "Xiaole" has a endurance of 1.51 kilometers and can deliver more than 11 tons of vegetables every day.
With the epidemic prevention work in novel coronavirus entering the critical stage, unmanned vegetable distribution can effectively reduce the infection risk caused by human contact, realize non-contact distribution, and greatly reduce the consumption of epidemic prevention materials and labor costs.
In Wuhan, the core area of the epidemic, unmanned vehicles have played a great role. On February 6th, Jingdong Logistics' intelligent distribution robot completed the first delivery in Wuhan, and successfully transported medical and living materials from Jingdong Logistics Wuhan Renhe Station to Wuhan No.9 Hospital, which is the designated hospital in Wuhan for treating novel coronavirus's pneumonia and is the core of the epidemic area.
The newly-built hospitals of Vulcan Mountain and Raytheon Mountain are not only equipped with? 5G? Network coverage, also equipped with telemedicine platform, remote video visiting system, and also equipped with 5G smart cars and delivery service robots.
in order to reduce the workload of medical staff running back and forth, and at the same time reduce the risk of contact and infection, the two hospitals have also introduced low-speed self-driving cars and robots to undertake the work of transporting some patients and distributing goods, including transporting patients, delivering laboratory tests, medicines and patients' meals.
In a special period, unmanned vehicles or pick-up planes will break out
Not long ago, He Xiaopeng, chairman of Xpeng Motors, put forward an idea at the Weibo. In the face of a major disaster, a powerful driverless car may be designed, which can be used as a temporary residence and provide necessary support. To this end, many netizens commented on their ideas.
In fact, the concept of unmanned driving is not uncommon, such as unmanned reconnaissance planes, explosive ordnance disposal vehicles, robots for dredging pipelines, and surgical robots in medicine. It is only in recent years that it has been really applied to civilian use. With the continuous development of science and technology in the future, "unmanned" technology will greatly replace human beings to complete some dangerous and impossible tasks.
February 11, Baidu? Apollo? It is announced that it will open the low-speed mini-car kit and self-driving cloud service to enterprises serving the epidemic for free, accelerate the application of self-driving products, and join hands with ecological partners to help prevent and control the epidemic. Its open technical resources will mainly include two parts: < P > First, the Apollo platform will open the low-speed self-driving mini-car kit, which includes hardware solutions, software and corresponding services to support the self-driving application for anti-epidemic work vehicles; Baidu promises to provide free technical adaptation and supply chain support to enterprises that use low-speed self-driving mini-car kits to serve the epidemic during the epidemic.
second, during the epidemic period, the self-driving work vehicle enterprises aiming at anti-epidemic scenes can get the matrix support of self-driving cloud services provided by Baidu Apollo platform for free, including but not limited to key cloud services such as high-precision maps, simulation, vehicle calibration, data labeling, sensor calibration, remote monitoring, cloud storage/computing, etc.
As early as February 4th this year, two unmanned logistics trolleys of Apollo Eco-Partner Neolithic have been sent to Wuhan, and they are actively engaged in epidemic prevention. On February 6th, as Apollo's eco-partners, Neolithic and Zhixing sent their own unmanned logistics vehicles and unmanned cleaning and disinfection vehicles, which have arrived at the isolation point in Beijing and can be used for independent cleaning, disinfection and food delivery services in the isolation area in the future.
In addition, technicians from Baidu Apollo ecological partner Qingdao Wuniu Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. also went to the forefront of the epidemic from October 31 to deploy unmanned disinfection robots in the isolation areas of confirmed patients in hospitals. According to statistics, it has successively donated and deployed nearly 31 self-driving spraying and disinfection robots in Qingdao Qingda Affiliated Hospital, Rizhao People's Hospital and Shandong Chest Hospital for disinfection.
similarly, in order to effectively protect the health of medical staff, Apollo eco-partner, Zhongke Huiyan, successively launched three epidemic monitoring systems, namely, epidemic prevention for community personnel and AEB system with body temperature detection. Among them, AEB system with temperature detection can monitor human body temperature in real time in commercial vehicles (operating vehicles, buses, etc.) or at the front and rear doors, and will alarm and record data when it exceeds the normal human body temperature.
Red Dot Comment:
From the dining area to the epidemic area, from food delivery, medicine delivery and temperature measurement to outdoor materials delivery, robots and unmanned vehicles can do things far beyond our imagination. If robots can be used instead of human beings to take some high risks and less "the most beautiful retrograde" and parting, then human beings will witness more beauty.
This time, the active participation in the front line of the war epidemic has also filled the public's favor with the future technology of unmanned vehicles, and provided countless reasonable motives for the government to introduce more support policies in the future. The outbreak of the epidemic may be the opportunity to boost driverless technology.
