With the arrival of the era of intelligence, service robots are rapidly developing towards intelligence, multi-functional integration and naturalization of human-machine interaction, and improving autonomous decision-making and environmental adaptation capabilities with the help of AI, sensor and 5G technologies. Its application has widely penetrated the core scenes of the service industry: in hotels, it is used for distribution of goods, self-service check-in guidance; in hospitals, it undertakes logistics delivery of medicine, disinfection and epidemic prevention and medical guidance tasks; in shopping malls, it provides intelligent guided tours, security patrols, and cleaning services; in restaurants, it is common to use food delivery and plate return robots to improve operational efficiency. In addition, in the family, logistics and warehousing and other areas also play an important role, through automated processes to reduce labor costs, optimize the user experience, and continue to reshape the shape of the service industry.
As the core energy component of service robots, the performance of the battery directly determines the stability of the robot's operation, working hours and user experience. Batteries not only need to meet the requirements of long range, lightweight volume, safety and reliability, but also compatible with intelligent control systems to achieve power monitoring, fault warning and intelligent charging management.
If the battery capacity is insufficient or the performance is unstable, it will not only lead to frequent interruptions in the work of the robot, but also may bring about equipment failure and even safety hazards. Therefore, choosing the right type and specification of lithium battery is a key link that cannot be ignored in the design and application of service robots.
1. Lithium-ion battery: It is the more widely used battery type for service robots.
Advantages: high energy density, can store a large amount of power in a small volume and weight, can improve the robot's energy efficiency and range; high charging and discharging efficiency, low self-discharge rate, fast charging and good power retention; good temperature adaptability, can work properly in a wide range of temperatures.
Subdivision type and application: cylindrical battery cell (such as 18650, 21700 models) process maturity, low cost, good heat dissipation performance, bulky volume after forming a group, lower energy density ceiling, suitable for space requirements are not particularly demanding part of the service robot; stacked soft pack battery space utilization rate is high, can be customized to adapt to the robot's complex structure, for example, semi-solid stacked soft pack batteries with high energy density can be used for human beings with high performance requirements, and can be used to provide a wide range of range and range of range. For example, semi-solid stacked soft pack battery has higher energy density, which can be used for humanoid robots with higher performance requirements. From the material system, ternary lithium battery has high energy density, suitable for outdoor service robots with high endurance scenarios, such as rescue robots; lithium iron phosphate battery has outstanding safety, suitable for indoor service robots, such as medical, storage AGV robots.
2. Lead-acid batteries:
Advantages: mature technology, good consistency of single battery, relatively reliable safety performance, low manufacturing and maintenance costs.
Disadvantages: large and bulky, energy density is much smaller than nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium batteries, can not realize the high rate of discharge, power output is limited, the service life is also shorter, while its manufacturing materials are harmful to the environment and the human body.
Applications: Generally used as a backup power source for service robots that do not need to move, such as certain fixed-position welcoming robots, etc. However, due to its poor environmental friendliness and other shortcomings, it is gradually being replaced by other batteries.

Product Recommendation: 48V 20Ah lithium Battery
Application features:
Humanoid robots usually require high flexibility and autonomous mobility, and are widely used in hospitality, education, medical, and entertainment scenarios.
Batteries need to provide high energy density, and at the same time meet the requirements of long-time operation, higher load output and higher power.
The size, weight, safety and power output of the batteries have high requirements.
When choosing lithium batteries for service robots, first look at the needs of the scene of use. If used for home sweeping robots and other lightweight scenes, the priority is to choose a small volume, high energy density ternary lithium batteries, to ensure flexible mobility; if the logistics AGV and other scenes that require long hours of operation, you can choose high security LiFePO4 battery, to ensure that more than 8 hours of endurance, taking into account the performance of the fast-charging in order to reduce the replenishment of the power consumption time.
Also consider the safety and cost. In shopping malls, hospitals and other densely populated areas, choose lithium iron phosphate batteries with good thermal stability to reduce the risk of fire; industrial-grade scenarios can accept the high cost of lithium ternary batteries in exchange for high performance. In addition, pay attention to the cycle life of the battery, industrial use choose ≥ 1800 cycle life type, consumer grade can be appropriately reduced, and with a reliable BMS system to monitor the status, balance range, safety and long-term use of the cost.
