Country Garden (2007
.
HK), China’s largest real estate company by sales, has started building houses with its own construction robot
.
Floor construction, internal and external wall construction, concrete construction, concrete finishing, actual measurement of Civil Engineering Four of them, measuring robot, floor cleaning robot, intelligent construction elevator and intelligent follow-up distributor, have been rented and sold
.
This speed is quite amazing
.
You know, it was only two and a half years ago in July 2018 that country garden officially announced its entry into the robot business and the establishment of bozhilin robot company
.
In the past two and a half years, a group of doctors led a research and development team of more than 4000 people to work as “construction workers” in construction companies, and jointly opened the leap of construction robots from 0 to 1
.
At a time when construction robots all over the world are still in the exploration stage, bozhilin robot does not hide its ambition – in the office building of its headquarters in Shunde, the wall on the right side of the entrance reads, “to be the world’s leading robot industry chain service provider”
.
Yang Guoqiang, founder of the company and chairman of the board of directors of country garden, was a construction worker
.
Before and after the trial production of the robot prototype, he even went to work in person as a product manager to give lectures and correct deviations for the R & D personnel – what kind of tool a robot should be and what kind of environment it should work in
.
In 2020, the total output value of China’s construction industry will reach 26.39 trillion yuan, accounting for about 1 / 4 of GDP
.
The real estate developer with the largest sales area and sales amount will be born here
.
Can it lead the world’s construction robot industry? Qu Qiang, the tanned doctor, broke his dream with his own hands
.
In the second half of 2016, after graduating from Tokyo University with a doctorate in mechanical engineering, Qu Qiang joined country garden
.
He said that he was moved by the slogan, “in country garden, you can build a city yourself.” In 2013, country garden launched the “future leader” plan to recruit high-end talents around the world, mainly attracting fresh doctors to join, and cultivating and developing middle and senior management of the company
.
In 2016, Qu Qiang became one of them
.
He first worked in the headquarters of country garden group and was sent to Shandong in 2018 as the director of a real estate project in Jimo, Qingdao
.
In October 2018, on the day the Jimo project started, Qu Qiang went to the newly established bozhilin robot of country garden group
.
In July 2018, when the bozhilin robot project was launched, country garden group called on talents with relevant experience and recognition of robots to support and join
.
Qu Qiang’s major is mechanical engineering, which is related to robots
.
At the beginning, he joined as a consultant
.
After joining the team of concrete construction robots, he found that he wanted to make the construction robot work by himself, so he simply stayed
.
This decision means that he is no longer in country garden to build a city himself, but to let robots build it
.
Looking back on the situation when he just joined the robot project, Qu Qiang said frankly that he had asked around the Robotics Research Institute and found that everyone was not very clear about the construction robot
.
They all felt the stones and crossed the river
.
He could only say one step: first look, first observe the market, and then go to the construction site to learn
.
Then, he became the legendary “the tanned doctor.”
.
Qu Qiang (standing in the middle) bozhilin robot on the construction site currently has more than 4000 R & D personnel
.
On each person’s desk, there is a white helmet, which is convenient to go to the construction site at any time
.
Qu Qiang added, “there’s one more thing, safety shoes on your feet.” Company insiders often tease that these doctors should be studying technology in the research institute when they make robots
.
As a result, they are tanned at the bozhilin tiantiantiantian construction site
.
At the beginning, researchers went to the construction site to test the robot prototype
.
The time of concrete construction on the construction site is uncertain
.
Sometimes in the middle of the night, as soon as they receive the notice of construction, the team members immediately prepare the prototype to go to the construction site for testing
.
It’s dawn when they are working
.
Sometimes they need to wait for the workers to complete the construction before they can enter the site
.
They are waiting and sleeping on the construction site
.
Sometimes in the daytime, after the concrete hydration reaction begins, the temperature of the construction site exceeds 40 degrees, and everyone’s clothes are wet and people are tan
.
In order to avoid heatstroke, they drink some antipyretic before going to battle
.
Sometimes, when it rains, there is no place to hide
.
I’m all wet
.
When I’m blown by the wind, I’m easy to get sick
.
At the concrete pouring site, walking around in water shoes in the concrete, even the workers working on the site are also very hard, let alone those engaged in scientific research
.
Sometimes they trample all night in this environment
.
These guys who don’t know the construction situation don’t know when they can or can’t trample
.
Sometimes when they can’t trample, they go in and trample again
.
For this reason, they are inevitably scolded by the workers
.
At first, the workers didn’t like these guys who came to the construction site to test the robots, because they often had to clean up the mess after the test, which increased the extra workload
.
“Every time the workers scold us, they feel that they are in a low ebb, but I thought that there is nothing worse than that.” Qu Qiang admitted afterwards that in the process of robot research and development, he also got the help of the workers, adopted a lot of their opinions, and improved the operability
.
As the effect of the machine became better and better and the workers recognized it more and more, the company became more and more confident in the product and began to turn the machine
.
In order to have a good chance to do the test, Qu Qiang team implements the shift system
.
A group of people sleep in the laboratory, a group of people go to the construction site
.
The first group of people come back from the construction site, and the second group relay, often busy until the next morning
.
At that time, they teased each other internally
.
Have you ever seen the sun of bozhilin? Qu Qiang said, “I’ve seen the sun at any time.” He Zhiwu, another doctor of the team, narrowed his eyes and photographed it to share with you
.
In January 2019, Qu Qiang’s team spent seven or eight hours to get the prototype to the construction site for the first time through coordination and tower crane
.
As soon as the robot was started, everyone’s excitement was not over, so they could not run in a minute
.
They had been testing in the sand before, and only when they arrived at the construction site did they find the problem that the front of the robot was too heavy and the center of gravity was not matched correctly
.
“Really, very depressed,” Qu Qiang said
.
Sometimes, because of some small problems, some unexpected small problems, the experiment you have prepared for a long time fails
.
That frustration needs a lot of courage to overcome
.
Of course, the joy brought about by the gradual stabilization of the products later also doubled
.
Qu Qiang (first from the left) discusses problems with his colleagues
.
Qu Qiang laments that in the past, doing scientific research in school, such as doing doctoral dissertation, was basically a process from 0 to 1, from scratch, but it was not so difficult
.
After all, there are still topics for doctoral dissertations, tutors for guidance, some industry papers for reference, and people to communicate with
.
To be a construction robot, the team is new, the problems it faces are new, and there are no formed products for reference.
