Recently, Fabo Intelligence FARobot, jointly ventured by Foxconn and Linghua Technology, has been officially established.
According to public information, the capital of FARobot FARobot is NT$200 million. Among them, Foxconn invested 102 million yuan in cash, holding 51% of the shares; Linghua invested 98 million yuan in cash, holding 49% of the shares. In the future, FARobot will create products and services such as group smart master next-generation software platform and autonomous mobile robot (AMR) based on real-time data distribution services (DDS), to accelerate the import of AMR for mobile vehicle applications in production, warehousing, and retail, medical and other industries, to accelerate the import of AMR for corporate customers, improve process efficiency, and create competitive advantages.
It is reported that Foxconn and Linghua jointly entered the robot industry, and will realize the global layout of the application of next-generation autonomous mobile robots (AMR) in various industries. The new team can show the results of cooperation within three years. At the same time, in the future, FaBo Intelligence will create a next-generation software platform for group robot intelligence (Swarm Autonomy) based on real-time data decentralized services and other products and services for mobile vehicle applications in production, warehousing, retail, medical and other industries.
combines software and hardware to strengthen the independent robot
In recent years, Linghua Technology has successfully integrated artificial intelligence (AI) technology and improved the robot controller for precision control, perception, real-time communication and vision. Linghua has opened its own developed controller platform and has re-established new standards for intelligent manufacturing to build ROS2 into a common platform for mobile robots.
Linghua has also set up a big plan, intending to successfully develop at least 200 innovative intelligent robot products in 2025, and establish Taiwan's global leadership in the field of intelligent robots.
, not to mention Foxconn, it has rich experience and profound technical background in the field of industrial robots. Foxconn's mobile robot layout must first start with its application.
In 2007, Hon Hai Group began to plan to replace human labor with robots, and thus established a robot subsidiary; in 2011, Foxconn proposed a million-dollar robot plan; in 2019, Guo Taiming , the former chairman of Hon Hai Group, proposed at the 2019 Hon Hai Group shareholders' meeting, "Our company plans to remove these workers within 5 years. Our goal is to get rid of 80% of these workers. If it cannot be done in 5 years, it will also be done within 10 years, because technology is already here."
Foxconn has been steadily promoting the implementation of production automation, and mobile robots, as a key device to automate the logistics and handling links, have gradually emerged in Foxconn's internal factories in recent years.
In SMT and other workshops, Foxconn is implementing automatic distribution of electronic materials in warehouses through AGV material handling trucks. Before establishing a mobile robot company, Foxconn's internal AGV applications focused on finding cooperation with related manufacturers. As the world's largest 3C product foundry, Foxconn has more than 30 science and technology industrial parks in mainland China. Because of its large application range, it also has a large number of AGV suppliers.
With the continuous increase in internal applications and the rich experience and deep technology in the field of industrial robots, Foxconn has also begun to plan the production and development of mobile robots.
Foxconn and Linghua hope to use the standard real-time data transmission architecture (DDS) adopted by ROS2, the international robot open source architecture. The new company will combine Foxconn's advanced robot electromechanical integration experience with Linghua's software technology advantages to optimize the integration of software and hardware, and strengthen the real-time decisions required by autonomous robots when interacting in groups, including precise actions and dynamic management, so as to achieve smooth and delay-free network communication between autonomous robots, thereby expanding the application value of autonomous robot clusters in different fields.
strong alliance to promote the commercialization of AMR machine clusters, Chen Jiabang, general manager of AMR machine clusters, said that in order to cope with the challenges of future diversity, population structure changes, regional production, including production, warehousing, retail, medical care and other industries, the mobile vehicles (such as AGVs) used in traditional processes must be able to solve future operational pain points such as upstream and downstream process connections, distributed storage space management, and software and hardware system integration, so as to maintain the company's competitive advantage. Robots are leading the future industrial revolution. FARobot is the world's first commercial product based on group witty bionic algorithm software to create the next generation of AMR machine clusters, and continue to assist various industries in coping with process and operational challenges. We will enter the Zhonghe Far East Industrial Park with digital technology as the focus, and hope to gather more resources with the power of industrial clusters to upgrade industrial applications in all aspects, and assist enterprises in accelerating innovation.
FARobot Chairman Du Moxi said that the most important application in the future 5G private network is AMR. FARobot is an independent mobile robot company jointly established by Foxconn and industrial computer factory Linghua. Combined with the advantages of both parties in software and hardware, it will further accelerate the depth of vertical integration of the industry. Through the key experimental fields provided by Foxconn and Linghua partners, it will expand the scope of industrial applications, so that FARobot not only has the DNA to become the world's strongest AMR company, but also can fight group wars.
FARobot pointed out that its cluster management system "Swarm Robotic System, SRS" is a real-time fleet management system software based on natural bionic algorithms of group wit. It uses the DDS technology of the next-generation robot operating platform (Robot Operating System 2, ROS 2), which allows fleet members to communicate in real time with other equipment that adopt DDS technology to ensure that the process is not interrupted and improve production efficiency.
