March 8th news: Facebook has recently filed a patent for a new robot design. This robot, equipped with a camera, microphone, and speaker, is capable of following individuals and recording their every movement. The "head unit" consists of a display screen and a camera, enabling it to track people's locations. What are the key developments in today’s robotics industry? Let’s explore further.
In a recent report, former U.S. President Donald Trump shifted blame for job losses from China to robots. According to U.S. media, Trump prefers to point fingers at automation rather than foreign trade policies or China. The article highlights that the U.S. produces as much steel as it did 30 years ago, but now employs half as many workers—mainly due to technological advancements, including the use of robots. The steel industry has evolved from large, traditional plants into more efficient, automated "micro-factories," which rely on fewer workers and recycle existing materials.
Facebook’s new robot patent allows it to follow users and capture footage. The robot is described as a self-balancing model that can switch between three-wheel and two-wheel modes. One of its potential uses is to assist with video and photo-taking for apps like WhatsApp and Instagram. Additionally, it could carry small items between locations.
Segway has introduced Loomo, a balance car that can transform into a smart robot. When activated, it follows users autonomously, making it both practical and adorable. In busy cities, balancing cars have become a popular transport choice, and now they’re evolving into intelligent robotic companions.
Haier has partnered with SoftBank to expand into service robotics. At an event in Shanghai, Haier unveiled an upgraded service robot strategy, moving beyond single functions to full home integration. Together, they will introduce SoftBank’s “Pepper†robot into Haier’s smart homes and stores, aiming to enhance daily living experiences.
Yaskawa Electric, one of the four global leaders in industrial robotics, has started selling core components like controllers and servo motors to Chinese manufacturers. These parts are designed for use in electronic assembly processes, avoiding direct competition with their own robots. This move supports the growth of China’s robotics industry.
China National Travel Express recently launched a smart travel robot called “Xiaotong.†This AI-powered chatbot helps businesses manage travel policies, offering real-time support to employees. It simplifies communication and ensures compliance, helping companies streamline their travel management processes.
With continuous innovation, robotics is shaping the future of technology, business, and daily life. From social media to travel, robots are becoming an essential part of our world.
Inversion DC - AC Power Supplies
IPS series DC - AC inversion power supplies are new generation of power dedicated AC Power Supplies for power system applications. It is mainly designed and manufactured according to the characteristics and requirements of power system.
This series of DC - AC power supplies can be divided into single-phase and three-phase AC power supplies according to the difference in the number of output phases. The output power of single-phase DC to AC power supplies ranges from 1KVA to 10KVA, and the output power of three-phase DC to AC power supplies ranges from 15KVA to 60KVA. The output voltage is divided into single-phase 220Vac and three-phase 380Vac with 50Hz fixed frequency output.
This series of AC inversion power supplies are featured for high precision, stable output, high display resolution, low waveform distortion, etc., at the same time, it has complete protection functions and a friendly and convenient operation panel, which is suitable for high-quality and high-reliability AC equipment requirements.
Now, the inversion AC power supplies are widely used in power system communication, carrier, monitoring, relay protection and humidity lighting, and can also provide uninterrupted power for AC lubricating pumps, AC fans, and water pumps in power plants. And it is widely used in various fields such as aerospace, financial system, office automation control, medical and health, military scientific research and so on.
