"Flying engineer" intelligent aerial operation robot
Project introduction
Flying Engineer
"Flying engineer" intelligent aerial operation robot aims to solve special unmanned operation tasks in complex space environment, provide industrial users with unmanned intelligent operation solutions instead of traditional manpower, and improve high-risk, high-cost and low-efficiency industrial pain points. At present, only aerial robots have been used in many fields, such as electronic industry, fire fighting, anti-terrorism and so on. The future development goal of the project is to liberate human hands and make human beings no longer have dangerous aerial work.

"Flying engineer"
At present, live working at tens of meters is a very risky work, even if a zero value detection work takes several hours, which is very dangerous. This work is also necessary to bear such a great life risk because the cost of power failure is too high and the loss is as high as 400000 per hour. Around one billion such tests are carried out every year around the world. UAV has been widely used in air patrol inspection, but "ordinary rotor UAV" only realizes remote shooting and observation, while "intelligent air operation machine" can work with zero distance contact, known as "flying engineer". The "flying engineer" adopts the culvert type pneumatic mechanism, which can carry out similar precise operations in extremely narrow space. Although the aircraft size of the ordinary "rotor type UAV" is basically the same, it needs a wider safe flight space. Compared with the corresponding products of the United States, Japan and Germany, it has obvious advantages. When carrying a mechanical arm to work, it is very difficult for ordinary rotorcraft to operate in close proximity, and the "flying engineer" can operate accurately in hover.
The technological advantage of Feitian "engineer" has developed a series of optimization platforms around the culvert platform. According to the different contents of air operation, a series of mission load modules are developed to realize various operations. According to the project, big data intelligent management system is developed. In the aspect of human-computer interaction, intelligent ground interconnection system is developed; around the technical field, collaborative control strategy of load body integration and fusion perception technology in complex environment are developed. He has applied for 45 patents and published 35 papers.
market analysis
"Flying engineer" has huge market potential. It is also a world problem in the field of high-altitude consumption. In China, there are more than 7000 high-rise buildings that exceed the 112 meter limit of fire trucks. In the electronic industry, the potential market size is 12.33 billion yuan / year; in the aspect of high-altitude fire protection, our equipment is 20 billion yuan / year; in the fields of wind power blade cleaning, photovoltaic panel cleaning, material airdrop in disaster areas, etc., the maintenance of these global industrial public facilities is trillion yuan / year. "Flying engineer" has developed a variety of prototypes in electric power, fire fighting and anti-terrorism to create a new species of air operation.

We spend time sorting out the gold medal projects of the competition and making some analysis attempts, hoping to understand how the high-quality projects of Chinese universities are produced, and how the commercialization of technological achievements has experienced. From the previous sharing, we can see that many projects are based on product or service-side innovation, and new customer segmentation areas have been found. These areas may be C-side for consumers, or B-side for solving industry problems. Of course, we are also interested in how to build a logical business model and an entrepreneurial team.
"Flying engineer" is a project aiming at the industry market based on technological innovation. It is more and more common to use UAV in power monitoring, but the manual live maintenance is still a very common operation, which is very dangerous, and the cost of outage maintenance is too large. Using the "culvert" UAV to operate can avoid the high risk of manpower and the high cost of power failure, which is the advantage of "flying engineer". In the design of the task load module, the project has innovative achievements in the following aspects: the "Culvert Type conforms to aerodynamics and structure", "floating platform modular operation mechanism design", "integrated collaborative control strategy of load body", "multi-sensor integration and autonomy of operation environment", applied for 45 patents and published 35 academic papers. These achievements are the technical basis of the project, from which we can see that a common problem can be seen as an opportunity for entrepreneurship, but how to solve it is not a simple problem. The original solution is UAV inspection, manual live maintenance or power failure maintenance, which is extremely risky or costly. Therefore, it is a good innovation to solve the problem. Not only that, but also has a very huge application prospect in the field of high altitude fire protection. From the international comparison of products, it also has obvious advantages, supported by many patents and scientific research papers. The level of entrepreneurial team and consultants is very good. This project reveals the commercialization path of scientific research achievements, academic research and technological innovation in Colleges and universities. How to form innovation and entrepreneurship projects that we are concerned about is an answer. But when it comes to business model, we still have some problems to communicate with you. 1. The culvert type aircraft is not the only original of this project, and the innovation is also reflected in the design of hovering and other operation modules. So what kinds of work are suitable for high altitude live operation? How reliable is the mechanical arm of "flying engineer"? 2. Is the operation of high-altitude fire fighting the same as that of high-altitude live operation? If the "flying engineer" can play a role in the field of high-altitude fire protection, what kind of consumer equipment should be carried? What kind of work to solve in fire fighting?
3. The product or service mode is not introduced? How to price products and who are the customers? How to form transactions with customers and let products enter the market, these problems are not reflected in the roadshow. Especially as a growth group, the project seems to be imperfect.
4. The income source and prediction of the project are not reflected. As a growing project, it is not reasonable. From the perspective of business model, how to create value, transfer value and realize value is a concern for everyone. The direction of capital investment, cost estimation and other problems also need to be solved. In addition, the scale of the project's equity, the composition of equity, whether it needs financing, the source of financing plan or funds and solutions are not clear in the roadshow.
Such a project makes many colleges and universities understand that the scientific research achievements of a university need a good way to commercialize. If colleges and universities only care about the number of papers and citations, who is responsible for promoting social progress through innovation? Innovation and entrepreneurship education is a new requirement of social development for colleges and universities. When the underlying technology of social development changes profoundly, when the environment and tasks of colleges and universities are constantly changing, any slow understanding of the role of innovation and entrepreneurship education in the development of colleges and universities will make colleges and universities miss the opportunity for development. Just like Kodak, Sears department store, Nokia and a series of enterprises with excellent management and continuous innovation, if we can't recognize the challenges we are not facing when the disruptive technology innovation and the disruptive model innovation based on technology innovation come, then such universities can only say "we didn't make any mistakes, but we..."
