Purpose

Since the market penetrations of service robots are only successful to a limited types of services, the purpose of the paper is to look into the reasons why the market penetrations are lagged from both technical and nontechnical perspectives. Automatic robotic recharging services, especially robotic refueling systems, are used as the case study for the investigation.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper surveyed the relevant technologies and products and conducted the feasibility study and risk management for new development of automated robotic refueling systems. This paper developed a cost model for the evaluation of robotic refueling systems.

Findings

There are no major technical barriers that exist for the development of robotic refueling systems, but two main risks of developing new robotic refueling systems are interference of existing patents and the extreme effort to further reduce the development cost of automated refueling systems. The recommendations have been made to new developers of service robots.

Research limitations/implications

The suggestions are made for further development on service robots, in general; however, this paper does not cover the physical development of service robots.

Practical implications

This study was actually conducted for a client company who has a strong interest in developing new products for automatic robotic refueling systems. The reported work has great significance for new comers in this area to understand the state of the art, technological challenges and some potential risks in the field.

Originality/value

To the best of authors’ knowledge, it will be the first academic paper to summarize the research and development effort on automatic recharging business. The targeted field is very typical in promoting robots in services. Even robotic refueling was proposed at very early stage of robotic application, the market penetration of refueling robots the market penetration is very limited, not because the technology readiness but some other factors. This work has its significance to identify technical and nontechnical challenges to promote robots in services.

自动机器人充电系统–发展和挑战

目的

由于服务机器人的市场渗透率仅对有限类型的服务才成功,因此本文的目的是从技术和非技术角度研究导致市场渗透率滞后的原因。自动机器人充电服务,特别是机器人加油系统,被用作调查的案例研究。

设计/方法/方法

本文对相关技术和产品进行了调查,并对自动化机器人加油系统的新发展进行了可行性研究和风险管理。本文开发了一种用于评估机器人加油系统的成本模型。

发现

机器人加油系统的开发没有主要的技术障碍,但是开发新的机器人加油系统的两个主要风险是现有专利的干扰以及为进一步降低自动加油系统的开发成本而付出的巨大努力。已向服务机器人的新开发人员提出了建议。

研究局限/意义

一般而言,建议对服务机器人进行进一步开发;但是,本文不涉及服务机器人的物理开发。

实际影响

这项研究实际上是针对对开发自动机器人加油系统的新产品有浓厚兴趣的客户公司进行的。报告的工作对于该领域的新手了解该领域的技术水平,技术挑战和一些潜在风险具有重要意义。

创意/价值

据作者所知,这将是第一篇总结自动充电业务研究与开发成果的学术论文。目标领域在提升服务机器人方面非常典型。甚至在机器人应用的非常早期就提出了机器人加油,加油机器人的市场渗透率也很有限,这不是因为技术准备就绪,而是因为其他一些因素。这项工作对于识别技术和非技术挑战以促进服务中的机器人具有重要意义。
