21世纪经济报道记者在工厂注塑车间看到，"美罗"通过单臂3公斤负载的双臂协同，可稳定搬运9公斤的 洗衣机后桶，送至3D质检工站，完成送件后，美罗转身去执行消防巡检、设备监测等其他任务。 同时，质检数据会实时同步至品质智能体，只有当系统确认部件合格后，才会调度机器人返回取件，如 果检测不合格，会进一步协同工艺智能体、TPM智能体，对注塑机参数优化调整。该工作站集成了美 的自研自制的0.1毫米精度3D相机与AI视觉检测系统。 美的人形机器人创新中心孙智宇介绍称，上述工作已经包含了美的三大自研技术：一是七自由度仿生臂 的超轻构型，在保持60%负重比的同时降低能耗；二是腕部六维力控传感器实时调节抓握力度及双臂姿 态，实现搬运过程中动态平衡；三是柔性灵巧手通过10倍抓重比设计，用500克自重实现5公斤抓取能 力。 据介绍，"美罗"在工厂大脑的统一调度下，可以与品质、DMS（日常化管理）、TPM（全员生产维 护）、EHS（环境、职业健康与安全管理）等工厂智能体深度协同，结合多模态感知技术和具身智能操 作技术，自主执行品质首检、DMS巡回会议、TPM巡检、EHS巡检等高频次任务，实现实时响应与自 主决策。 美的集团（000 ...
