Application development analysis and prospect of express sorting system based on mechanical arm

Abstract

At present, with the improvement of peoples living standards and the rapid development of e-commerce, the volume of express delivery is increasing. The existing manual express sorting method is high-cost and low-efficiency, and an efficient domestic waste sorting method is urgently needed by the society. At present, the field of robotics is developing rapidly, and mechanical arms have various types and functions. Using mechanical arms to replace manual work to complete express sorting tasks has advantages such as high efficiency and labor saving. This paper analyses the application and development of different types of mechanical arms in express sorting system. First, the research status of express sorting and the development of mechanical arm are introduced in detail. Second, based on the structural characteristics, mechanical arms are divided into articulated robot and parallel manipulator. At the same time, the characteristics of the two kinds of mechanical arms and their application in express sorting system are analysed. Finally, by comparing the advantages and limitations of different mechanical arms in express sorting field, the application prospects of different types of mechanical arms in logistics sorting field are discussed.
