Commercial Service Robots: Autonomous Navigation and Human-Robot Interaction Safety

Scenario Requirements and Pain Points:
In commercial settings such as hotels, office buildings, or hospitals, service robots need to autonomously navigate through crowded corridors and lobbies with ever-changing environments. Traditional magnetic-strip navigation systems disrupt interior design aesthetics and are therefore prohibited; meanwhile, visual navigation is easily affected by changes in lighting conditions. Moreover, commercial environments are often characterized by glass curtain walls, marble floors (high reflectivity), and dark-colored carpets (high light absorption), and may at any time be populated by running children or temporarily placed luggage. Robots must not only achieve precise trackless navigation but also possess highly sensitive obstacle-avoidance capabilities to ensure absolute safety when interacting closely with people—while maintaining a slim and aesthetically pleasing body design.

Application Logic:
A F60 laser scanning sensor is embedded and mounted at the front end of the service robot’s chassis. The radar performs a horizontal scan of the surrounding environment:

SLAM Navigation: Outputs real-time point cloud data of the environment’s contour, helping robots build floor maps and achieve real-time localization—without the need to affix any auxiliary tags in the beautifully designed hotel corridors.
Flexible Obstacle Avoidance: Leveraging the radar’s built-in collision-avoidance logic, the robot sets up a protection zone that precisely matches the width of the corridor. When it detects a person or obstacle ahead, the robot intelligently makes decisions based on the distance—executing maneuvers such as bypassing the obstacle, slowing down to yield, or performing an emergency stop—to deliver graceful and safe autonomous service.

Technological Advantages:
The F60 is a “compact” radar specifically tailored for commercial robots. Compared to standard industrial radars, the F60 maintains high performance while reducing its height by 1 cm, making it exceptionally easy to conceal within the slim chassis of service robots without compromising the overall industrial design. Manufactured using standardized processes, the F60 offers outstanding cost-effectiveness and consistent mass-production quality, perfectly aligning with the cost requirements of large-scale deployment of service robots. Meanwhile, its optimized optical design ensures robust performance even when detecting glass doors and black objects, effectively preventing the “glass collision” incidents commonly encountered in commercial settings.
