FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COMO, Italy, April 28, 2022 /DesignNewswire/ A' Design Award & Competition has announced that Aris-Idc Data Room Inspection by Liu Zhe and Li Xuan, designed for Youibot, has been granted the Silver A' Design Award in the Robotics, Automaton and Automation Design category. The recognition forms part of the 2021 - 2022 A' Design Award & Competition and was reached through blind peer review by an international grand jury panel of established academics, design professionals and press members, who scored anonymized entries against predetermined criteria.

The Silver A' Design Award Explained

The Silver A' Design Award celebrates top-tier designs that embody excellence and innovation. This award acknowledges creations that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional, reflecting the designer's deep understanding and skill. Silver A' Design Award recipients are recognized for their contribution to raising industry standards and advancing the practice of design. Their work often incorporates original innovations and elicits a strong emotional response, making a notable impact on the improvement of everyday life.

More About Aris-Idc Data Room Inspection

Aris-Idc is an inspection robot developed for large data centers. The robot moves autonomously through the data room and monitors equipment, sound, gas and temperature in real time. A high-definition wide-angle camera records the servers in each cabinet, and image recognition software compares the indicator lights with preset settings to diagnose the running status. Results are shown in a software management system, and errors are reported to maintenance staff at once. Continuous unmanned inspection reduces heavy manual work in remote data centers.

Award Record

Liu Zhe and Li Xuan is a winner of 2 A' Design Awards, including this recognition. All of the awards belong to the 2021 - 2022 edition of the A' Design Award & Competition.

Design Details

Unique Properties
At present, the construction period of large-scale idcs is about 1-2 years and these data centers are usually located in remote areas. Thus It is difficult to recruit technical personnel for daily inspection, operation and maintenance. Besides the labor cost and employee turnover rate is high. There are problems such as inadequate and inaccurate inspection in manual inspection process which lacks of data management and data application.
Inspiration
Aiming at solving all problems of idc inspection such as manpower gap,inadequate and inaccurate inspection risk, high energy consumption, etc., youirobot robotics ‘s IDC inspection robot helps to free the operation and maintenance personnel of the computer data room from dangerous and heavy work and improve inspection efficiency and accuracy. The idc inspection robot autonomously inspects the data room and intelligently analyzes the data, and quickly find out the failures in the data room.
Research
Aiming at solving all problems of idc inspection such as manpower gap,inadequate and inaccurate inspection risk, high energy consumption, etc., yourobot robotics ‘s idc inspection robot helps to free the operation and maintenance personnel of the computer data room from dangerous and heavy work and improve inspection efficiency and accuracy. The IDC inspection robot autonomously inspects the data room and intelligently analyzes the data, and quickly find out the failures in the data room. This idc inspection robot guarantees the safety and reliability of data room’s operation and maintenance.
Challenge
The robot base and its structure are designed to meet the special requirements of data room.It adopts the data fusion algorithm to localize the robot position in real time. It also uses the multi-sensor positioning algorithm to avoid the high error rate caused by single sensor’s obtained data, which achieves high-precision and reliable positioning. Image recognition deploys the deep learning algorithm and Tensor Flow algorithm to handle with image recognition and abnormal warning.
Realization and Technology
The idc inspection robot integrates with intelligent sensors, big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies to perceive and monitor the data room environment, equipment, sound, gas, temperature and other multi-dimensional data in real time. It supports 7*24 hours of unmanned inspection and the inspection accuracy rate is over 99%. The monitored data is transferred in real-time and visually interactive to assist in precise decision-making.
Operation and Interaction
The intelligent inspection robot system consists of a robot, a software management system and a related operating environment, and all its operations are implemented through the software management system. The entire intelligent inspection robot system is composed of four modules: motion control function, micro-environment management function, automatic inspection function and intelligent work assignment function.
Project Duration and Location
45days From 0 to 1 software and hardware version 1.0 is completed.
Specifications
1648(length)*604 (width)*604(height)The indicator status monitoring adopts image detection and pattern recognition technology. This robot, equipped with high-definition wide-angle camera, checks the image of the server in the cabinet. The central processing server intelligently recognizes the images and compares it with the preset configuration information to diagnose the running status of internal server in the cabinet. The central processing server needs to quickly identify various of image information correctly that can be a static image such as whether a light is on, or whether a yellow light is on, or a dynamic image such as whether a yellow light is flashing, etc.
