Concept Framework

Embodied intelligent industrial robotics: Concepts and techniques

Chaoran Zhang, Chenhao Zhang, Zhaobo Xu, Qinghongbing Xie, Jinliang Hou, Pingfa Feng, Long Zeng

🏠 About

In order to work more efficiently, accurately, reliably, and safely in industrial scenarios, robots should have at least general knowledge, working-environment knowledge, and operating-object knowledge. These pose significant challenges to existing embodied intelligent robotics (EIR) techniques. Thus, this paper first briefly reviews the history of industrial robotics and analyzes the limitations of mainstream EIR frameworks. Then, a knowledge-driven technical framework of embodied intelligent industrial robotics (EIIR) is proposed for various industrial environments. It has five modules: a world model, a high-level task planner, a low-level skill controller, a simulator, and a physical system. The world model provides knowledge of industrial working environment (such as semantic maps) and industrial operating object (such as knowledge graphs) that multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) lack. The high-level task planner decomposes tasks described with natural language into a series of subtasks. The low-level skill controller translates these subtasks into specific physical-executable sequential skills. The simulator models the kinematics, control logic, and environmental interactions, thereby enabling algorithm development, virtual commissioning, and digital twins at both single-robot and full-production-line scales.

The development of techniques related to each module are also thoroughly reviewed, and recent progress regarding their adaption to industrial applications are discussed. A case study is given to demonstrate the newly proposed EIIR framework’s applicability to real-world assembly system. Finally, the key challenges that EIIR encounters in industrial scenarios are summarized and future research directions are suggested. The authors believe that EIIR technology is shaping the next generation of industrial robotics and EIIR-based industrial systems supply a new technological paradigm for intelligent manufacturing. It is expected that this review could serve as a valuable reference for scholars and engineers that are interested in industrial embodied intelligence. Together, scholars can use this research to drive their rapid advancement and application of EIIR techniques.
