Unmanned transport is on the rise, and another company has received over 100 million yuan in financing

If the past decade belongs to the era of mobile Internet, then the next decade will be the decade of digitalization and upgrading of the real economy. In this context, various mobile robots , as new solutions , are ready to take off and usher in a new round of explosive growth. Among them, unmanned forklifts, which are widely used in industrial and logistics scenarios, have attracted much attention.

Recently, Mooe Robots, a provider of autonomous driving and unmanned transportation solutions, announced the completion of its B2 round of financing, with a financing amount of over 100 million yuan, led by CITIC Construction Investment Capital and followed by Huzhou Xunshang Venture Capital. It is reported that Mooe Robots' current round of financing will be mainly used for new product research and development, overseas market development and talent team expansion.

Earlier, Muyi Robotics has been favored by many investors such as Chentao Capital, BlueRun Ventures, Deppon Express, Qidian Capital, etc., and has completed hundreds of millions of yuan in financing. The completion of this round of financing is enough to prove the capital market's recognition of Muyi Robotics' technical strength, and also indicates that the unmanned forklift track has entered the fast lane of rapid development.

01 Wood Ant: From low-speed single unit to high-speed group, realizing the upgrade of unmanned forklift products

At present, unmanned forklifts are in the stage of rapid advancement from technical verification to product application. Low-speed unmanned forklifts in simple environments can no longer meet the actual needs of customers. The high-speed group unmanned forklift solution launched by Muyi Robotics just meets the market demand.

In the past, unmanned forklifts were mostly dispatched by QR code navigation, but Muyi Robotics has built a group dispatching system similar to the vehicle-road collaboration technology in autonomous driving. In other words, in a complex warehouse environment, dozens or even hundreds of unmanned forklifts can work together, greatly improving work efficiency. In addition, the unmanned forklift developed by Muyi Robotics can reach a speed of 2.6 meters per second, far exceeding traditional products.

With its unique dispatching system, Muyi Robotics has achieved the upgrade of unmanned forklift products from low-speed single units to high-speed groups, and built a strong group dispatching capability. This also enables Muyi Robotics to be deployed on a large scale in complex logistics environments, which is not easy for other competitors to copy.

It can be said that the "logistics brain" dispatching system built by Muyi Robotics is the core of its product advantage. The system uses a distributed architecture and can carry out real-time dispatching of thousands of unmanned forklifts to form efficient sorting operation units, which can freely switch between manual operation and fully automatic mode according to actual needs. It is precisely because of this system that Muyi Robotics has achieved a breakthrough in the field of express delivery by operating hundreds of unmanned forklifts in a single warehouse.

02The unmanned transportation market has a vast space and will usher in opportunities worth hundreds of billions of yuan

Globally, the mobile robot industry has developed rapidly in recent years. Looking at the unmanned handling segment alone, its growth potential is huge. It is an inevitable trend for robots to gradually replace human labor. On the one hand, with the continuous increase in labor costs, enterprises have an increasingly strong demand for automation, informatization, and intelligence; on the other hand, a large number of application scenarios and models have yet to be developed, and the market saturation is not high. In the next 5-10 years, mobile robots will be in a golden period of rapid growth.

Being in this field, Muyi Robot already has leading technical strength and successful commercialization cases. If it can keep up with customer needs and continue to innovate in technology and products, it may become a dark horse in the field of mobile robots.

03 The unmanned forklift market is accelerating, and intelligent technology is driving the upgrade of logistics supply chain

If mobile Internet has changed the past decade, then intelligent technology will surely lead industrial transformation in the next decade.

The fundamental driving force for the development of the unmanned forklift industry is the rapid progress of intelligent technology. In the past few years, a variety of new technologies have continuously achieved breakthroughs and implementation in this field, making the intelligence level of unmanned forklifts leap forward. Specifically, the widespread application of laser radar has greatly improved the perception of complex environments by unmanned forklifts, and can achieve high-precision positioning and navigation; at the same time, the support of 5G communication technology enables unmanned forklifts to transmit big data in real time and conduct remote command and dispatch in the cloud; in addition, the use of multi- sensor fusion technology enables unmanned forklifts to accurately understand their environment and greatly enhance their ability to adapt to the environment.

In terms of core algorithms, unmanned forklifts need to have precise positioning, high-precision map construction, intelligent path planning, stable control and other capabilities to achieve true fully automatic driving, which requires the company to have strong algorithm technology accumulation as support. Therefore, some leading unmanned forklift companies are independently developing multi-sensor fusion, deep learning and other algorithms to make their products more intelligent.

The application of intelligent technology has continuously optimized the performance of unmanned forklifts, and they can show greater value in more complex application scenarios. The power of technological innovation has enabled unmanned forklifts to quickly move from experiments to commercial applications. With the continuous empowerment of intelligent technology, unmanned forklifts will serve the supply chain and logistics fields in a smarter and more efficient manner, and profoundly change the traditional operation mode.
